and again the clutch

[Shredder]

Here is a Type F tranny fluid that many of us use in the primary, very inexpensive.

What Hman and shredder said. The purpose of the oil is to lube the chain-that’s all.

I checked the nut. Amazing! I've never seen anything like this before!! The nut was indeed loose! Thank you all so much for your advice and attention to my problem!! I'm so glad this forum exists!

Awesome !

I use the Type F trans fluid. In the primary.

Clutch plates used in the factory set up . Are rated for dry use. Or can be in oil. As others said.
So the oil is technically for the chain as stated.

I have one more question. I hope I haven't bothered you!)) How do I tighten this nut? I struggled for two hours. I secured the clutch basket, but the center part is spinning! I tried putting it in gear, but that didn't help. I pressed the clutch plates. This secured the center part a little. BUT, naturally, I can't press the clutch plates hard enough with my hands to stop the center part of the clutch basket from spinning. How do I secure the center part of the clutch basket? Thank you.

The nut you're trying to tighten is on the tranny shaft put it in gear. You may need to have someone push on the rear brake pedal to keep the rear tire from trying to move.

Please accept a correction…STAND on the rear brake. All 150 lbs of my narrow ass and Blacktopper uses his 3/4” drive 3 foot long torque wrench. Actually it might be longer than that—it’s really a beast. But it sure will tame that nut……

Thanks for the reply! I'll try that! I weigh 200 pounds. I hope that's enough..)) To be honest, without waiting for an answer, I borrowed a friend's electric impact wrench, which unscrews and tightens with blows. I really hope it tightened it properly. I really wanted to put everything back together and take it for a spin. )) But I think in the fall (or even earlier) I'll take it all apart again and do it properly! Thanks again for the advice!
