Bought this at an estate auction Sunday for $200. It had been outside for many years and I didn't expect it to run. New plugs, wires, and a clean carb got it started. It actually runs pretty well except the valves are noisy.
My question is this: the clutch lever did not "snap" in or out. The clutch had to be held forward in order to engage the clutch. I had to back the adjustment ring (loosen) 3 steps clockwise to get a "snap". The clutch seems to hold OK. How do I know if this is the right adjustment? The IT shop manual refers to tightening the clutch adjustment but not over-tightening, which is obviously the way I got it.
The "snap' is there, but not really firm like my '48 ZTN. Should I try backing it off another 1 or 2 stops?
