This addresses Jeff Roy's problem (vibration) and responds to the several very informed and useful postings by other class owners. The transmission/clutch assy is usually at the bottom of many drive line problems but I have done several other maintenance chores to tweak the system. I had my conical clutch replaced about five years ago thus felt it was not at the root of my current problem. As of this moment my cutlass bearing is nearly new, my prop is new (a 14/12 pitch which gave me almost another knot), my shaft is aligned all of which is great after the (probably) clutch quits chattering. I think Don Rychlinski has the best approach for starters (clean the cones). If anyone wants advice on a do-it-yourself shaft alignment drop me an e-mail. |
