All,
I'm finally driving my PA to uncover the remaining problems. The current
problem is that the clutch adjusting screws keep loosening up. 20 miles since
last adjustment! Besides being difficult to get at they are almost too short,
I've put half high nuts on two of them. The photo in Blower and the Owners
manual show (for clarity) the clutch without the Trans/bell housing installed.
The hole in the bell housing to work through makes this adjustment much harder
than the books imply. After this last adjustment I put penetrating
thread-locker on them.
Two questions: 1. Are there longer versions? (Sports and Vintage don't think
so but don't have any of the standard ones in
stock). Some with hex heads would make
adjustment easier. Making some seems easy except I
and S&V think the tips probably are hardened.
2. Am I overlooking something that would make the
adjustment easier?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Jack Hardy
