Lane Ranger 10,968 #11676 Posted June 1, 2021 I got the West Virginia RJ clutch/brake set better (less grabbing) . I put a roll pin in the clutch idler arm as there was a cotter key in there . It did not operate correctly with the cotter key. I also changed the old clutch spring to a new one. 9 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KensSmallEngines 4 #11677 Posted June 1, 2021 Did it solve the wheely popping issues so common on these? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,968 #11678 Posted June 1, 2021 Ken : so far yes ! I will wait to tell the story at the Big Show on “my wheelie popping “ experience with this one! I have a couple that will pop in third gear but this one popped second worse than any third gear pop I ever experienced! The head bolts snd gas had to be torqued on this and after that was done a new throttle cable. The think starts first or second pull on low choke setting and has quite a bit of power. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
