Hey everyone,
This is my first post and I'm looking for more information about clutch interchangeability between '75 and '76 sohcs. I have a 76 cb that I am trying to rebuild, but it came without a clutch (except for the outer basket). I have a clutch from a donor '75 motor but the plates don't appear to fit the 76 basket. Should I be able to put a clutch from a 75 into the 76 basket or can I buy a 75 basket and install it in my motor?
A related question has to do with testing the compression. The motor is not seized and the transmission/final drive is fine (I can shift between neutral and other gears). I can also rotate the kickstarter with the clutch basket out. However, if I put the outer clutch basket in, the kickstarter won't rotate (this is with no sparkplugs, so if its in neutral I believe this should rotate). Does this have something to do with the clutch being disengaged (ie the clutch not being in is the same has having the clutch lever in)? Will I have to fully install the clutch and "engage" it while in neutral to test the compression?
Thanks for the advice.
