500 oil guide plate position sought.

Is it the spring Ken that sits on the long gearshift spindle is it the wrong way round - again it's as it was so I'll plead the 5th amendment?
I've also noticed that the bottom wheel on the selector drum (short arm) seems to be very worn on the rivet it moves all over the place I've ordered a replacement from DS there is a bit broken off by the look or it - it's almost oval on the inside.
Did make me wonder about the main rod but they are a whopping £67 from DS US warehouse.

Are you turning the clutch shaft at the same time Ted? If not and the gears are in funny places it will refuse to engage. The shafts need to be spinning to allow things to line up as they spin.
Washer was the first one I spotted, the other is far more serious and will stop the build altogether if not rectified. Come on Ted, I told you the other day about this and you still got it wrong ;D ;D

Yes when I rotate the clutch shaft part it will change through the gears now I have fitted the cover and shift lever.
I know the spacer on the Hub was in place Ken as I was very careful when I inserted the primary drive shaft into position.
Come on Ken you are stressing me rotten. :( :( :(
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Kick start works it rotates the clutch shaft & disengages.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Does the primary drive bearing need knocking in a tad more?
