OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Cylinder My SB 45

Hello all an update with some more photos. First though I have repainted it and find that it suffers from clutch grippyitus. Let me explain the clutch was still gripping a bit in realise position so I read up on some great informative posts on here and tried to shift the clutch so there was about 10 mm clearance between it and the motor and then tightened the grub screws up and started the mower up and it slipped back to the original position. I have tried to adjust it at the lever but there seems to be a fine line between it slipping when engaged to moving when disengaged. I have it now so that it only rotates when disengaged at full throttle not at idle. Do I need to put some washers between it and the motor? I think that it is an early series 2 twin rail engine because it would have had a Kirby on it originally. Thankyou for your comments/advice .
