Also may need to readjust clutch, I do.Yeah that was my issue I didn't wind the spring I think........didn't know about that after watching a video on it. Well will open it up and do it right this time I guess......
I just want to get it running its pissing me off
Also may need to readjust clutch, I do.
I think mine is wrong, seems like no or little compression to the kick stroke. I have none to compare with. Also, does yours kick thru without the clutch pulled in?
Also, bought 2 more. 77 and 78 both are supposed to run. Thinking bobber soft tail for one of them and maybe a stockish restore on the other. Got them CHEAP for the pair. Now I have to go pick them up...hello u-haul?
I have looked at going a little bigger myself but I couldn't resist this deal. I have a buyer lined up already on the orange bike and the profit will purchase these and give me an extra to go a little upscale , build-wise. I also want to test my newly found welding skills and drop the seat angle so I can do a solo seat. I am enjoying the trend towards smaller bikes and the ease of riding them around town.Have a neighbor with a truck?
I like the 400s but want something a little bigger or just different. Have been looking at the RDs or a SR would be nice. But at this time all my funds are going to college..........just found out whats its going to cost

It starts to spin, may even crank for a moment but then it will disengage and then you hear the chain sound. Is the starter clutch replace/repairable?? Is it readily available?The starter clutch. Just sounds kind of spinny when you let go of the starter button?
Thanks I see that there is a special tool or bolt used on the clutch. Thanks also on the heads up with stuff coming apart as I am the king of sending little parts sailing. I am ordering some magnetic sheets to put under the bike when I am working on them as I ALWAYS drop something that skitters away. I saw these sheets and said..."Hmmmmmm".It can be repaired or replaced.
There are some kits on ebay:

I'd have a look at it before ordering anything.
Stator cover off, remove the starter chain, remove the rotor, look at starter clutch on back side of the rotor.
Careful when you remove the rotor. It should all come out together but if anything is funky the springs could go flying.
There is a special tool to remove the rotor. The correct one to use is basically a big bolt that threads in, forcing the rotor off. Do not use any of the typical "claw" rotor removers.
