Pete,

When I installed my motor last weekend, I had the same problem with the last 3-4mm. It would not seat so I took the motor back out and loosened the clutch cable all the way.

That worked for me. Have you tried it with the clutch cable totally disengaged ?

Nope, never tried that. With the 2L never did either. Never adjusted the clutch. I will try it. Probably be out Wednesday and hope to be back in and driving by next Sunday.

Motor runs and have driven around a bit close to home. Carbs are running rich, so it has what i think may be a flatspot. I don't know, seems like carb lag. Can't find the port to plug the laptop into these Dells. I'm gonna try and bump the timing tomorrow.

Still have to unbolt the towbar plate. It has bottomed out a few times, scaring the crap out of the pedestrians.

Rear carpet, rear seat, gen idiot light, a quick detail, and she should be ready to cruise/show this weekend.

Nice to hear you are so close to driving an air-cooled again. Hope you make the cruise out to Kitchener with no problems. :agree:
