Sent the TO to Bowler- nothing obvious but rebuilt it anyway...
Clutch to McLeod..... disks were torched and the mid plate was heated and warped. They rebuilt it..... and all under warranty, despite this likely being something on my end... shout to McLeod for great customer support
Got it all back together... spending a ton of time of getting the TO air gap right at .125 per Tilton.
So it all back together.... bled the hell out of the whole system, both power bleeder and the old fashion way. And I still cant get the clutch to release trying to set the stop.
Plugged the feed line off the slave and the pedal is like a rock....so I don't think its the slave.
The pedal feels pretty decent and I can see it move the TO bearing forward. I just don't think its generating enough pressure to push the clutch finger in
All I can think of is the pedal throw. Its got an adjustable link, so I can thread it farther/less onto the slave rod and then adjust the how far the link its into the center piece to start, then tweak the pedal height.
Trying wrap my head around the physics to maximize the throw. The slave rod is essentially static, while I can make the heim joint that attaches to the pedal be in/or more on the center piece to start. Once its together I can rotate the center section to fine tune the pedal height.
If its not the pedal travel, I'm stumped on what else to troubleshoot at this stage
