Rebuild clutch cant get cover on

I just rebuilt my clutch and got everything back to together except I can't get the outside cover on. I have look at bigfitz clutch threadand the user Manuel and can't get it. I can seem to get the two bars and gears to line up. It seems like I have tried everyway possible. I just can not get it

 

did you remove the throwout lever and spring first?
is your pull rod at the 9:00 position? teeth to left?

someone with same problem as you and
Bigfitz52 stated in the after notes

Take the throwout lever OFF if it's still installed. It's nearly impossible (and entirely unnecessary) to reinstall the cover and get the shaft to engage with the pullrod in the same "mesh" it had before. The lever could be stopping the throwout shaft from rotating as it comes into mesh with the pull rod.

The other possibility is that one of your dowel pins (the short, thin "sleeves" used to help locate the cover) is hanging up. There are two of them, located at about the 7:00 and 4:30 positions on the cover. Make sure they're fully seated. The screws don't locate the cover, they hold it on; the dowel pins do the locating. Sometimes they stay with the bike, most times they come off with the cover. (Oh, and POs sometimes lose them.)

 

i did remove the lever and the spring. I had the pull rod at 9 and could not get the cover on.
what are the times in reference to on the cover.

 

there are two pins that should be on motor but sometines come out with the cover they are what aline the cover to case not the screws.
some times the recieving holes have a burr on them and need to be cleaned up to accept the pins.
did you try turning the clutch lever shaft as you install it to help it aline with the pull rod?

pin on cover

pin holes on case

 

Ok I have them two pins and fit good. I tried turning the clutch lever shaft and I can get the cover fully on but the clutch is not working the way I have the teeth lined up

 

My brother put it on today and I was not there to learn how to do it. I will ask him next time I see him. But I have not tested it out so I hope it works.

 

ok it tested it today and had the same problem before the rebuild. no matter how much adjusting the tire still spun. while it was in gear i took pliers and twisted the lever and once i got so far this weird ticking noise came. i dont know if i just turned it farther than i am supposed too or that's my problem. what are your thoughts on the noise

 

when you say the tire still spun what do you mean?
the clutch never really fully disengages.if bike is on center stand tire will turn, if you mean when sitting on bike it moves forward with clutch lever pulled thats a problem

 

The clutch plates will allow the rear wheel to spin when on the center stand, just from the hydrostatic friction of the engine oil. As XJ550H said, that isn't a problem.

 

I was doing allmy testeing on the centerstand i am gonna test it right now on ground
