The SR500 sidecar build - solution to the clutch conundrum (part 4)

 In the post on engine assembly, I reported that the clutch isn't working correctly. After searching far and wide, I found out that with another clutch basket I had in the parts bin, it worked flawlessly. The reason for it not working can be seen below - the gasket's bushing doesn't protrude past the surface of the outer clutch hub, effectively locking the inner and outer clutch hub together.


As you can see, the gear on the back can be fitted in two orientations. Now if it's done as on the right, with the lip facing outwards, the clutch basket will never fully engage...
