Here I am, right on time, getting my 1930 VL ready for next week at Oley on April 25-27. Nothing like waiting until the last minute! Anyway, I started it up (easily, I might add) and I tried to put it into first gear. Sounded terrible gears grinding and clashing. I had an extremly hard time getting into 1st. So, I got out my Riders manual, and adjusted the clutch arm throw, which by the way, was really OK to begin with. Still NO GOOD! Then, I started to adjust the "adjusting screws" in 1/2 turn each like it says in Riders Manual. Started, tested, still gears clashing. Tried this about 3 times, seems worse now. Now, the screws are really hard to turn. OH, in the Riders manual, it says that if the engine holds while starting, then the clutch should be "adjusted enough" (or similar to those words) I think I am at the end of my adjustments. I need some help/ideas (I probably need a new clutch) Anyone, ever had this same problem?
