I'm renting a trailer next Friday and taking it to a geezer in Ruislip. It could be so many things or multiples having sat unused for 35 years. I'll report his findings.
The clutch is the only job I didn’t diy on mine. It’s possible the clutch material aged and then disintegrated when you started using it. It’s a dry clutch so it could sound like an angle grinder.
I’ve been diy servicing mine for 20 years. There are great when you get them in good order.
My mate has all the relevant locking and dismantling tools to do the job, so I/we/he could remove the clutch and replace it but it is bound to snowball and then be beyond my pay grade. I'd like it sorted so I can ride until the winter, then I'll replace the pitted stanchions, dodgy silencer etc.
