Hi Paul. At the moment I am awaiting the return of the Silks owner from down under before responding to Gasman's kind offer,
The Silk is currently in the corner of my garage in 1 piece baring the final drive chain awaiting a decision on either its return to long storage or engine out again.. But I am reluctant to pull the engine as putting it in is what broke (excuse the exaggeration) my back & my original remit was to get the bike (that had stood in pieces for 30 years) into one piece.. It now stands in one piece & has ran all be it very briefly I think getting it 'rideable' given the marques history may be over egging the pud.. But If you think adjustment and a bit of effort may suffice to free the clutch.. So I am thinking its been under compression for 30+ years so the 'oil mist' is going to be pretty resinous gummy... If I make a best attempt to adjust the clutch as per the instructions then pull the lever to the bar with a cable tie.. Mist it with WD40 & give the plate an occasional 'tap'
what harm can It do..
