my 200x is slipping

**robertmitch85** · 03-13-2009, 03:31 PM

so i went on ebay and bought versah fiber plates, steel plates, springs, cover gasket, and a spanner wrench, will this be adequate or is there something else i may need for this???? and how hard is it going to be

easy as pie if you have a air gun for the clutch nut.

if not try as penny in the gears, i used a penny on my lathe to loosen the nuts that hold the gears on.

are you talking about the one that is susposed to used the spanner wrench??? and penny???? i dont get it how would you use a penny

**atctim** · 03-13-2009, 03:57 PM

you jam the penny between where the gears mesh to keep them from spinning. That way you can put tension on the nut that holds the basket without the motor turning over. the copper penny won't damage the teeth on the gear.

that is an OLD school trick thats bin around forever but i guess not everyone has heard it yet...lol

I guess so, I've only ever done clutches on motors with pull starts, so i've always just put a bar through the cage on the flywheel. Neat trick though, like it

I've welded a 9 in. handle on an old steel clutch plate and used it to hold the basket whilst loosening nut, easy access for impact thru clutch plate. Beets

I just put a few inches of cotton rop down the spark plug hole to keep it from turning over, but a penny sound easier.

if they were open that could easily bend them
