G80 / Model 18 • Burman B52 moving backwards

As section of my prep for the IJR Luxembourg I have been heading above the Matchless. I posted on the IJR 2024 thread about modifying chains. I went for a shortish operate out, 10-12 miles, previously this afternoon just to be absolutely sure that all was effectively.

On return I seen that the gear transform experienced obtained clonky and believed about the main currently being quite possibly being way too limited. On inspection it was seriously quite limited inspite of me leaving it in a pretty marginally slack situation as, from encounter, I expected a little backwards motion.

I recall that the instructions I don’t forget on this job bundled easing the bottom pivot nuts and retightening them but I in no way do this as you will find no way to get to them With the AMC box in area I utilized to use equally the “between the engine plates” mechanism and a edition of the Burman set up but then again in the working day I was pulling a sidecar.

I also. owning made use of the Look for and observing a pic from Spriddler, realise that I equipped the adjuster in the suitable position but with the positions reversed but don’t see how that would make a difference even though I will swap spherical so the two modifying nuts are at the rear and not the entrance, as I have them. Probably the torsion/compression issue tends to make a variance.

Cheers
