D7 17A Pony clutch won"t engage

Desn't appear to be anything wrong with the clutch (assuming it is adjusted correctly).
Problem is more likely lower down with the pinion engagement rod and/or the pinion. If the latch mechanism is working correctly you should not have to hold the lever to keep it engaged.

There is a four bolt cover plate on the bottom of the clutch housing where you can check to see if the engagement rod travel is working properly.

Do you know the clutch adjustment procedure?

It look like the fork ben modify and could have a roller out off the collar and if you have to hold the lever to keep it angaged you need to adjusted the spring in the gearing compartiment

I agree that the clutch needs adjustment and has for some time. My problem starts with step 2 of the adjustment procedure.

2. Engage the pinion and clutch and rotate the starting engine----

I can't get the lever to move to engage the pinion and clutch. I have tried prying various places and can't get any movement of the clutch engagement lever. Nothing seems to work. Am I missing something?


Thanks for your response, any suggestion is appreciated.

You need to determine whether it is the clutch function or pinion engagement function that is causing the problem.
By removing the block and nut in the control lever you can separate the operating levers. Also as I mentioned before there is a cover plate on the bottom of the clutch housing that gives access to the pinion engagement rod.

The upper lever controls pinion engagement, the lower lever controls the clutch.

Did you try to adjusted or desajusted the cluch maybe the speder pine is broken and the spider is out off cluch shaft tread or the fork block is out off the collar and jam on side collar
