OK, sounds like we had only two brake shoes expanding out so were putting undue strain on the clutch drum and bearing.

Hopefully your "interesting" setup should work.

As far as the carb goes, don't run it lean at the top end as it will really add to your woes

Good luck with it and the offer of a carb re-tune is still there if needed.

right il try to get it running better tomorrow top end, ive replaced the bits i think in the clutch that have caused the problem so hope i can forget that now and concentrate on the carb adjusting!
