Clutch push rod not aligning

[chopsteak]

Finishing the chain drive conversion. Put the 24 front tooth pbi sprocket on and can't get the long actuator rod which runs through the middle of main shaft to go all the way in. Sometimes it takes some moving around but something on the clutch side must have shifted.the rod,attached to pulley cover will slide all the way in except the last 1/4 " to seat. Anyone ever had this happen?

Could be that the rod is not seating on the center of the throwout bearing. Just a thought not really sure.

clutch pack could be to thick causing pressure plate that throw out bearing is mountd in to be to far out to allow pushrod to seat properly,, dont ask how i know.. blew clutch in bad lands on way to sturgis this year

Try to loosen up the clutch cable and see if that helps.

thanks guys. found that when the pulley cover was off, the cable slipped through the eyelet where the bearing actuator is under the cover. realigned clutch actuator and those 3 bearings in there and slipped right in. thnx!
