Hi I sounds like a linkage problem maybe worth taking off the cover under the seat there is a bell crank sometimes the shaft seizes in them, otherwise you could try the kero , my clutchs were stuck and wouldent release and had to be stripped out and cleaned , good luck.. oh hope alls well in NZ I was lucky enough to spend 6 monthes in the Auckland area in 96
😊
About the only reason to rinse the steering clutch/brake is when the brake doesn't work properly due to grease and oil buildup on the drum. I think Roland has the right idea. . .sticky/dry/rusted/gummed up linkage somewhere in there. The fact that you got some water out of the drain pretty much verifies that.
... very much for taking the time to offer advice. I shall check out the linkages the next time I'm allowed out to play.
Yep, you were right - one of the linkages under the panel just in front of the seat needed freeing up. Gave it a clean and lube and now it's back to normal. Thanks again for the help. Just need to find some time now to get out and use it!
