clutch adjustment question

[VictorK]

I installed a new clutch kit and lined the arrows up and adjusted at the pressure plate,I then installed my new terminator clutch cable but there's too much slack with the arrows lined up so I had to adjust it so the arm is out beyond lined up(arrows),my question is do the arrows have to be lined up because there's too much slack when they are?

No, don't follow the arrows. Adjust it till you can feel the pushrod touching the ball slightly, then go 1/2 a turn more, then tighten the jamb nut. Also make sure while you're doing this the cable is all the way loose on the lever. The arrows might be accurate for a brand new cable but one that's been used and stretched out will be different than a brand new one. I have chain whack on my cases so there ain't any arrows so I looked at the Clymer's manual and found that procedure. Hope that helps!

That's pretty much what I did,my clutch is a new EBC and a new terminator clutch cable,the damn arrows can't be lined up whe

n the slack is out,but maybe the different clutch lever is the cause
