help,86 fxstc cant get clutch ajusted

[rageglide]

Don't be getting PO'd at me man.  I have explained to you many times how to set it correctly.   Tried very hard to explain it to you.  It's easy, you're over thinking it.

Buy a real Harley Service manual.  It's in there. 

I'm out, I need a beer of 7.

Also check that aluminum plate to make sure it's not warped.  My wife's did that on me and gave me fits adjusting the clutch until I noticed it.

if your throwout bearing is going south, you will have a hard time adjusting your clutch.

Did you get it working properly? If so, congrats, and next time you change fluid, you can try the Trick Shift again.
Rageglide, thanks for the diagrams, I had not worked on that style of clutch before, seeing the pics helped. I was confused trying to figure out what was going on until I saw it was an older style set up.
