Vintage Two Strokes / yamaha yl1 clutch

« on: February 04, 2013, 09:18:18 AM »

so i got my Yl1 running great. Replaced the shifter rod and and everything is back together. now my only problem is the clutch will not disengage and when i try to tighten the cable it just slips all through the power band, what it looks like is my lever isnt pushing the plunger far enough to fully disengage the clutch . Can anyone shed some light on how i am supposed to get my clutch working properly, its my last hurdle.

this is my first motorcycle rebuild,
im part of a 2stroke moped shop so i i know a decent amount about 2 stokes but i work with mostly single cylinder and nothing this old. that being said i was setting this up to be bare bones with no battery since it has a kick start and  no turn signals. i mounted the engine and and was checking the electrical I'm getting some voltage out of the green post wich is meant for lights and ext, but the orange and ash grey posts are getting no curent at all im not sure why i checked the points and condensers cleaned them but I'm not familiar with the flywheel i.e. how to pul it to check and clean if there is any rust or crud in there. if anyone has some info for me that would be awesome, i removed all of the electrical i am going to run it as a racer so i only have the ignition coils hooked up and and grounded
