You've come a long way, hope it goes well.
To adjust:
1. Place the flywheel clutch lever in the released position.
2. Loosen the lock nut behind the yoke on the brake operating rod.
3. Take out the cotter pin and remove the pin.
4. Turn the threaded portion of the operating rod so that the brake lining just touches the brake drum after the rod is installed.
5. Replace the pin & cotter, tighten the lock nut.
Old Magnet,
thank you, yes it has taken a while (a lot of other porjects on the go), but we are getting close.
I appreciate the steps, I will follow them to adjust the brake..
one more thing... what do you use to turn the adjustable part of the clutch to adjust it ?? the steps that I have simply says "use the slots as provided"...
thanks again
