Hi to all,

a quick update of my starter clutch. Strangely fitted my new starter clutch with the washer as it was missing when I stripped….it locked the engine. Had a chat with Andy and we thought maybe wrong washer. Washer fine and the correct size…to cut a long story…the inner chamfer was warn so was allowing it to go on too far which jam…[Read more]
