I went with just one gasket. The motor starts on the first crank. Its really unbelieveable. 1/2 a pull on the manual starter as well. After having 250's and pulling my guts out -it truely amazing.
Only issue I am working on now is why the clutch doesn't engage sooner. I have to revv it pretty good before it engages - any advise - Can I adjust it?
There is no adjustment on the stock FL350 drive clutch...
How new is the belt
How high do you have to rev it to get the clutch to engage ?
(Shouldn't take much over 1/4 throttle)
If the stock clutch is not shifting smoothly it could have warn or bad spots on the rollers not allowing it close without excess force...
Take the belt off and see if you can push it together or if its hanging up in the open position.
If you lubricate the rollers make sure you use a non dust collecting spray (ie not WD40 or oils) something like Comet Clutch Lube.
If you replace it I'd highly recommend the Comet 94C (Great Clutch)
but as others have said - getting works rear shocks should be one of your top priories.
Keep us posted
