Yamaha clutch weight rebuild

Malee · 06-23-2010, 04:07 AM

I am rebuilding the clutch on a g2 (I think)

I purchased the weight links x 3. each pack contains link weight, 4 washers (2 small thin, 2 thick) and a steel collar, resides between the plates rivited to weight

My problem is: Do the washers (2 thin, 2 thick) belong together on the posts attached the sheave.

The small collar that fills the gap between the plates rivited to the weights has approx 2mm gap, my old clutch has a snug fitting collar. So I am wondering if the smaller thinner washers are designed to fill this gap. Leaving the larger, thicker washer between the posts attached the sheave.

I hope this is understandable. This is my first cart I got given in pieces so i am going into this with no experience.

Thanks Mal

Mal, somebody will be by shortly to help you out. I did mine a year ago, but I don't recall the washer/spacers your talking about.
Just stand by.
Welcome to the sight!
Mike

Thin washers are for the weight end that attatchs to the spider , large ones go on the weight end that attatchs to the floating flange. Remember to use loctite on the set screws. Good luck
