override tranny problems or just mucked up tranny?

[nvr2xtreme]

i just bought this sweet banshee drag bike. stretched front and swingarm w/ wheelie bar, 421 ect.

supposed to have straight cut gears and override tranny. my 1st override, 1st time bringing it off i screwed up

n downshifted, didnt know about back load overload or whatever, anyway, i didnt realize what had happened, so after i taped

on the end of the sfifter a few times it fell right into place and was back to running. then the next day, i was testn again, didnt down shift underload

but it still hung up after 4th and it was like the motor was locked up, the kick was solid, no moving at all. i rocked it in 6th a few times to turn the motor over and tapped on the shifter and bam, back to new again. but im startn to wonder if it just has straight cut gears and has other problems due to i was coming back from a race and fired it up for someone to hear and she was purring then the motor just stopped, no loud clanks or noises and the kick is locked again. it seems like somebody may have put the cut gears in wrong and somethin is binding up. but im not sure. i guess the only way is to tear into the bottom end(tranny) and look for any unusual marks on gears or missing teeth.

anyone have advice or had a similar problem?

any and all help would be greatly needed and appreciated.

thanks

what kind of override? you mentioned you "rocked it in 6th." you either have a full override which means you have to come to a complete stop

to downshift or you have a manual 5th and 6th gear which means you can only bang the gears 1~4 then clutch it to get into the upper gears.

this may be the reason it hung up after 4th?

pull the clutch cover and check the adjustment on your shift shaft and also see if it is bent before you split the cases.

i havent operated on a manual 5~6 override but i do have a 1~5 duneable in (2) of my bikes and had problems shifting on one of them

due to a bent shift shaft.

when you had it running, did it make any odd noises?

no noises. was sitting on the trailer strapped down. but i think it has something to do with the clutch. i checked it out today and put it in 6th with motor off and just

tried to roll it and same results with clutch in or out, motor tryn 2 turn over but it acts like something on the clutch side is jammed and it will roll in gear with alot of pushing but the motor isnt turning over, like the cluthch is slipping. its supposed to have hinson clutch ,

so im thinking the basket blew, well hopeing...

and i think it a 1 thru 4, due to had no problems as long as i was in lower gears.

gonna pull the clutch cover and check it out.

thanks

ALLRIGHTY THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was reading a topic on here about clutch baskets and how to modify the basket because of screws backing out or something,

but anyway, i pulled the cover and yes its a complete hinson setup, but guess what else i found 2 lil allen wrench panhead style screws laying

in the bottom. are these stock?...lol.. good idea to put screws in oil on clutch side to help balance at high rpm..lol.. well now im going to tear her apart and see

whats behind door #2.... so ill let ya know.

any bets on ideas wat the screws are from?..lol

i did however find some good news...... i switched to geico..lol..no for real though, it means so far the guy hasnt lied to me yet about whats in the bike.

one more question, how do you tell what carbs you have and how can you tell if they are made for alchy or not? he told me 110, but it didnt smell like 110

smelled like alchy and i used 114 and it smells like race fuel should?

Probably from the back of the basket when they did the gear swap onto the basket.
