Thanks in large part to everyones help and advise after new rings , a new piston, and valves the engine starts and runs yea!!!!
next problem I also replaced the clutch plate now when I put my foot on the clutch it goes most of the way to the floor and never disengages the engine. I went to adjust the linkage and its all the way adjusted. What did I do wrong? thanks steve |

Could be several things ..the easiest thing is are you sure the forks in the right position on the throw-out bearing ??
Did you get a repop clutch rod ?? There are several out there that are different lengths.. |

You said "all the way adjusted", all the way which way?
Measure your clutch rod, they will come ~9-1/2" and 11-3/8". I needed the 11-3/8 rod in my 48.

If I were a betting man, hmmm happen to be one. HB is most likely right.
A common error.....the fork should be behind the two ears on the bearing carrier...Many install it just behind the bearing. That will never be adjustable. Open your tunnel cover and look where the fork is located. If wrong it can be corrected through the tunnel cover but patience and determination are required, also a powerful magnet to retrieve the failures. Be careful with the pivot pin also it can come out and drop too. Did you install the little return spring on the carrier?
Hook the cable up first, use a long screwdriver to hold the carrier forward. manuver the fork behind the ears and over the pivot pin.

OK now I am really confused.
The engine is out and the fork ass seems to be put together correctly. which leaves rod length and........ clutch fingers I measured the clutch fingers specs say 1 15/16" mine are 2.5" so theres my problem right? Now maybe I am thinking too much but if I adjust the fingers to spec thats going to make it worse rather than better. could someone pre 1973 have gotten the long control cable and compensated by adjusting the fingers ? thanks steve |

Another thing
The casting on the clutch says "thelander clutch" but from the pictures it looks identical to the Auburn Clutch shown in the service manual. The clutch peddle moves about 1/2" before the forks start to move and there seems to be another inch of travel when the peddle if fully depressed. thanks steve |

Do a search for "thelander". There we're lots of prior discussions, it is manufactured by Auburn.

another thing about measuring the fingers, they can't be measured with the P.P. on the flywheel (unless you take into consideration the "bowl" in the flywheel). You also can't do it without it (P.P.) being tightened down to a flat surface. it shows in the manual a test "jig".
Anyway, did you dissassemble the linkage? could be the clutch/brake tube is in backwards.

The clutch shaft that goes from the frame to the side of the tranny can be installed end for end and the linkages just do not work with it installed that way. It is pretty easy to do, especially for us dyslexic types.
