Clutch
The free movement at the clutch pedal pad
should be about 12 to 15mm (.48" to .6"). The
readjustment of clutch pedal clearance takes
place on the clutch actuating lever at the
transmission case, and is - like the chain
adjustment — achieved from the side
opposite the engine. This can be done with
the vehicle supported at the rear, entering the
spanner from behind. Turning the adjuster
screw clockwise increases clutch pedal
clearance, and contrary adjustment
decreases it (figure 70).
Chain
The power output of the engine is transmitted
to the rear wheels by means of a chain
running in an oil bath. Owing to its complete
protection this chain has quite a long-lasting
life, but it must be adjusted from time to time.
By the chain's striking against its case one
easily notes when the chain has lengthened
and should therefore be adjusted. This job is
done by means of a perforated adjuster plate
on the chain case (figure 71), which is acces-
sible from the side opposite the engine.
Remove the adjuster plate locating screw
with an appropriate spanner (figure 71) and
then raise the adjuster plate with a screw
driver from bottom upwards until strong
resistance forbids further movement (figure
72). This re-establishes the proper tension of
chain and now the question is to get the drill
holes in adjuster plate in correspondence with
one of the 2 screw holes in chain case. This
cannot be done by forcibly lifting the plate
until the holes meet each other (figure 73),
because this would result in excessive chain
tension. If the hole in the chain case happens
to stay between two adjuster plate holes one
recedes accordingly in order to get the
locating screw info 'its hole.
