Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

theres only one way to insert the clutch lever. had to take the tie bars off to clock it but I didn't move anything. As far as i can tell when the lever is engaged it pushes the gear ring around a gear which is fixed to the mounting leg, which keeps it from turning. It will turn when not engaged.

well I know I no longer live in NORCAL... but i just finished the spartan race this weekend and it was awesome... I'm trying to do all the mud races up to the tough mudder

 

dude, I had no fucking idea that chicks in mud could look so hot

 

lol

 

Yep, definitely 10 miles of dick...














But in all seriousness, I experienced enough of that stuff in BCT to feel like doing it again. I love the outdoors and getting out there, but ehh, not this so much. It does look fun, and I'll bet Tahoe will be a beautiful location to do it in!

 

Nah, it was clear. It was however closed right after the ridge where you can see the Bear Valley chairlifts. Not sure why but there was a barbed wire fence stretched across the trail.

 

I thought that spot looked familiar. It must look real familiar to George and Mike...haha

 

What I was thinking about the lever was that it could be inserted in such a way that it seemed correct and sort of worked but does not fully engaged.

Can you move it back to the original position and see if that changes anything? I don't think it should but worth a shot.

 

Opened it tonight

 

bet it feels like christmas at the ol 'medic household

 

Nice!

 

It Seems To Fully Engage, The Lever Moves The Gear Ring As Far As It Can Go AgainstThe Gear Box And All The Way FlushTo The Part Where The Drum Attaches. I'm Really Fucking lost IWas Trying To figure itOut For Like 3 hours So Any Input Is Greatly Appreciated

Thanks

 

Sure does.

 

I got nothing. I mean there's an alignment that needs to happen but otherwise, it shouldn't matter too much whether you clock it or not. I'd focus on the lever. Does the gear ring need to be held in a particular position while the lever is re-installed?

Maybe call the mfg?

 

Shoot from the looks of it, it's christmas, your birthday and anniversary!

 

Let's not get carried away

 

I Figure I'm Doing Something Wrong With The Lever But For The Life Of Me I Can't Figure out A Different Way To Align It. I'm Going To call Then At lunch.

 

Haha, just saying...I don't get gifts like that took a deployment to Iraq to build my truck. It's ok cause I got cleared for a S/C next year
