groghunter Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hey all, posted a few weeks ago about the new 'manche I've been working on. Had to replace the clutch slave (& since it's an internal one, the clutch as well.) Well, I got everything back together, but it won't start. By which, I mean it did start a couple of times: enough for me to figure out that the clutch hadn't been bled well enough, as there was grinding if I tried to get it in gear. Re-bled, clutch now seems to be good. but It just will not start now. It cranks, but it never "coughs" if you take my meaning. Even when it did start the first few times, it was really touchy, died when I touched the throttle pedal at least once. seemed to do alright once it had warmed up a bit though(just wouldn't go into gear.) So, my first thought, especially since as far a clutch replacements go, this IS my first rodeo, is "what did I change." I've gone through it all in my head, & the only things I can think of, that have anything to do with the motor starting, are: the starter, but as I said, it is cranking, and: I took the CPS & flywheel off. As I understand, you can't install the flywheeel wrong, so that leaves the CPS: is it even possible to put it on wrong? seems like I remember it having an obvious direction to it, but thought I'd ask before I delve into "is it getting fuel?" & "Is it getting spark?" Also, I'm sitting at work unable to start looking at the thing, & figure I might as well ask some questions so I'm better informed when I do get to it. Oh, & I took the battery to 2 places today, & they both tested it as good(& Batteries plus has a big bench tester, not a handheld.) I was actually assuming the battery wasn't putting out the amps to get the thing to turn over, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
