While I've got you guys, how is the clutch itself activated? Messing around trial and erroring it (mainly that everything I trialed resulted in an error) I couldn't figure out what happens when the clutch is pulled in. Just want to make sure I put it all back together correctly (got it all laid out in order on the bench)
The clutch lever is pulled in, moving the cable attached to the clutch release arm (Part 21)down on the clutch cover, it in turn rotates a clutch release cam shaft (part 20) in the cover that is just outboard of the clutch.. On that vertical shaft cam shaft is a cut out engagement part of the shaft near the bottom, that when the cam shaft is rotated (by the arm, cable, lever) it engages a clutch push (part 19) (which is a "cap" that sits on the end of the clutch push rod Part 17 ) in the center of the clutch pressure disk (part 8) , pulling it away from drive(part 5)/driven (part 7) plates,, when that happens the clutch disengages (slips). When you release the lever, the springs (part 9) push the pressure disk back, again clamping the drive and driven disks between the pressure plate and the hub (part 4) .
