Inspection
CAUTION
Do not scratch parts by cleaning with
steel wool or a wire brush. Clean parts
with a suitable cleaning solvent only.
1. Clean all parts thoroughly and dry with corn-
pressed air.
2. Remove all Loctite residue from all threads.
3. Check all parts carefully for cracks or darn-
age. Do not install any parts that are cracked.
4. Check the drive belt surfaces (Figure 35) of
the sheaves for corrosion, burrs, nicks or any
buildup of rubber. For proper operation, the sur-
faces must be clean and smooth.
5. Check the threads (B, Figure 36) in the fixed
sheave for damage. A machine shop may be able
to repair damaged threads.
6. Visually inspect the bushing surfaces (C and
D, Figure 36) of the fixed sheave. Damage to
these areas may cause the clutch to operate im-
properly. Make sure the cover and the sliding
sheave slide easily on the hub of the fixed sheave.
7. Use a micrometer to measure the outside
diameter of both bushing surfaces (C and D,
Figure 36) on the fixed sheave. Record these
diameters (Figure 37).
8. Measure the inside diameter of the bushing in
the cover (Figure 38, typical). Record this di-
ameter.
9. Subtract the journal diameter (C, Figure 36)
from the bushing diameter (Figure 38) to deter-
mine the clearance.
1 OA. On models with six bolts retaining the
cover, the clearance should not exceed 0.76 rnrn
(0.030 in.). Install a new bushing and/or fixed
sheave to reduce clearance.
