Hi All. Did the search thing for the last few days, but haven't found anything to help. It started when I went to kick my 69 T120R and it didn't spin the motor. Opened outer transmission inspection cover to see that the kicker gear did spin the transmission. Clutch cable adjustment = nothing. Clutch adjustment = nothing. Unhooked clutch cable & took off outer transmission cover. The pushrod bush was shredded. Bits of brass in oil. Still a little inside shaft though. I need to replenish that for sure. Questions I have:
1. What causes this? I've read about improper gear indexing, but I am sure that is correct. Is there anything else?
2. Will the bush being shredded cause the clutch the engage preventing the motor kicking over?
3. I installed clutch, transmission myself. Are there common mistakes with clutch set up/initial adjustment that would cause this?
4. Whats the easiest way to replenish the clutch rod bush? Don't want to go in ad force it and potentially cause damage.
