This is on a '65 CL72 with a 305 in the frame.
I replaced the friction disk's in the clutch pack, cleaned everything up and put it back together.
Waited 24 hours for the gasket seal to do it's thing, filled it with oil and got ready to take it around the block.
Put it in Neutral and the the kick start lever just spins freely. The spring is there and it is keeping tension on the lever but it's not engaging the motor. When I put it in 1st gear and push the kick starter the bike will creep along, so it's doing something.
Also of note, when in 1st gear (any gear really) I can roll the bike and not hear the engine turning over at all. Forward or backward makes no difference.
Things I have tried:
1. Adjusted the clutch cable adjusters, to both fully out and then with tension. No affect
2. Adjusted the Clutch engine case adjuster, nothing.
3. Sat and stared at it for a while
4. Called a friend for advice, nothing.
5. Drank a beer.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
