Clutch finger adjustments

[Kodiak]

I just got my rear seal and reworked retainer back from Rick (great job Rick, Thanks) and installed it and the flywheel, clutch disc and clutch on the engine. I checked the adjustment of the clutch fingers and they were set at 15/16 on all 3 fingers. I have replaced the graphite clutch bushing since my other one was chipped and cupped badly, so should I adjust the fingers for 1 1/8" or 1 1/4" ? or leave where its at?

Ron - set them either to 1 1/8" or 1 1/4".

Thanks, That's what I was thinking but it's really nice to have someone to bounce things off of for confirmation. I hope to have time to do it tomorrow after we take the Grandaughter to see Thomas the Tank in Dillsboro, N.C. It may turn into a long day

Ron, did you replace the bronze bushing in the end of the crankshaft. Now's the time to do it while it's split.

Ain't that the truth Denny, the clutch pilot bushing is only about a $6. item that can cause you to split a cub back open sooner that expected.

Denny, Yes I did. I replaced almost everything. (clutch disc was in excellent shape) but everything else got replaced, and everythig was well lubricated where needed! I just neeed the time to get it all back together time is short right now.
