    Hey guys last time i was on here i was asking about my weird clutch issues after my bike rebuild where it would only rev to high rpms and go a little then when the rpms dropped it would almost stall without some fancy clutch playing. I have been super busy at work and havent had much time to tinker with it but remembered that on my rebuild i had misplaced my diaphram spring for one of the carbs and had to fab up a new one that was bent somewhat but being eager to ride the bike thought it might work? Could this be the real issue or should i stop thinking about easier solutions and just worry about the clutch? Funny thing is though i dont remember even messing with any adjustments on the clutch to make it act like this the only weird thing at all i did mechanical wise on my build was fab up one of the carb diaprham springs from an old scooter. What do you all think? Thanks

    Not having the correct siaphram spring(s) can indeed cause you a world of trouble. That may be the cause of your situation, and it is certianly less of a bother to correct then changing the clutch plates would be.
