    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Where to weld starter clutch to rotor?

Ray sent a picture to my android phone, don't how to load that. It was basically outside of where the three allen bolt are. The outer circumference of starter clutch where it mates to the rotor. He said to mig weld a 1'' bead outside each bolt, and make sure it's free of oil residue. The picture actually showed a pencil pointing to where the welds should be.

Would it be possible to send this picture (email, etc.) to another member of this forum who could then upload the picture to this thread?
It would certainly help more than a few people (myself included).
Thanks!
 
I am going to chime in on this since the pics of the one welded is in my bike. I had the welds done because I could not stop breaking the bolts. The 3 bolts heads were welded as an afterthought. The other 3 beads is what I think keeps it from breaking the bolts. Since welding it up like that, there has been no breakage. I am not the expert, but this seems to work for me. I raced a lot last year. The bike is running mid 9.20's with me at 210 lbs on it. I get 1.30's to 1.40's for 60 foot times. The only problem was the nut holding the sc to the crank backed off a little. A big splash of red loctite on the taper and crank the nut on tight. If and when mine scatters or the welds break, I will weld in the same place since it works for me.

I have never welded a starter clutch together. I do replace the bolts with grade 8 alan head bolts and red lock tight them in. Never had a problem yet.
