Gear selector return ?

<< < (3/5) > >>

Solved the problem, phew!

Strangely my kickstart wasn't returning properly as well so took the clutch cover off and spring.. !!! something clicked back into place and i have a working gear selector and kickstart. The new seal I put in was too tight and the kick start spline and caused the gear selector to stick.

Well done, we love a happy ending.

Fogdevil:
Just a follow on question from this thread.
Having just bolted the two crankcase covers together and re-attached all the gear selector gubbins I thought I would go through all the gears to make sure they work.
When the engine is upright,I can get 1st.
When engine turned upside down I can get 1st,N,2nd and 3rd.
Question(s):
Do I need to worry about not getting 4th,5th & 6th in a 'dry run' with the engine on the bench? Is lack of sufficient lubrication the issue as previously suggested.
Will the gears work correctly once under load?
Will I need to undo what I have done so far and get them working before proceeding any further?
This is my first engine strip and rebuild so I don't know if I am worrying too much or not.
Thanks
PS Big thanks to Julie for her posts.Massive help

Do they engage if you rotate the output shaft (where the sprocket goes) they won't normally engage unless you rotate that shaft, or the crank if you haven't fitted the clutch yet.

Was just going to say that myself Hairy. ALL gears should be selectable with the engine in the upright position, as Hairy says by rotating the output shaft and selecting the gears up and down. OOps, just notices posted on Trigs board !!!
