Clutch questions

there should be a notch located on the engine side of the fixed sheave and an arrow on all of the movable sheave parts-just line everything up n bob's your uncle... for a light dusting of crud ya can pressure wash the clutch out when washing your ride-NOT ON THE WAX SETTING-LOL! (or an airgun-just don't breath the dust ....who knows what's in that stuff!) if you need to clean the ramps,arms, clutch faces just use good old soap and water and an old tooth brush etc...or...spray some brake cleaner or acetone (something that won't leave a residue) on a rag and giv-er the old elbow grease treatment.try not to contact the bushings (+ belt etc) with whatever cleaner you use or you may damage either the bushing or the locktite that "glues" them into place (DON'T JUST "HOSE DOWN" THE PARTS).the nice thing about doo clutches is you don't need a spring compressor unless changeing the springs...if you take care when dis/assembling the movable parts you may not even need the special tools for holding the buttons in place- but they definitly are a bonus when working in the field.if you feel the surfaces of the ramps or the clutches are too oxidized you could give them a LIGHT scuff with a fine scotchbrite pad or REALLY FINE emery cloth (but do not to remove a ton of material)....on a related note-i've got a buddy who has an old dishwasher in his shop for clutch/parts washing that works decent.... but i wouldn't suggest it unless ya check with the old lady first
