Modified clutch arm

I was reading up on modifying the clutch arm and stumbled across this for $12. Kinda cool that is appears to have been done back in the day according the original tips and tricks that were out there. Thank god digidave was not the seller, it would have been listed for $150.

Nice clean actuator shaft too!

Buy it replace the seal with a sealed bearing for smoother action.

Yes I bought that bearing from HVA already so this should be sweet.

That's cool. I lengthened my original '85 250 clutch arm to get better leverage. Didn't know about the bearing at the time.
Does the cable get a straighter pull with the cable end higher?

That's the theory.

+1 jo360 on the bearing. I've done 3-motors this way. Helps a lot.

I tried to replace the seal with a bearing on my last rebuild (510 a/c motor) -and it caused the actuator shaft to bind. The shaft would not turn smoothly at all. May have been too much of an interference fit in the casing causing bearing to bind. Anyway ditched the bearing idea and used a seal. Worked fine. The 510 clutch is very light pull anyway ...... unlike my 240 until I fitted Andys lady springs!

i had an engine do this as well, while another engine did not. i think its just a dimensional tolerance thing. its worth a try i guess as the clutch action is much improved..
