Common problem
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=190917
Usually self inflicted during re-assembly

unfortunately i never found out what the self inflicted bit was. obviously something wasnt quite right

I tried numerous times over 2 days to get it right, with various combinations of clutch parts and even the old clutch back in and it still wouldnt work!

eventually, by luck i beleive, it did work. so i just left it as i didnt fancy another 2 days of poo

good luck

can you be more specific about the clutch pin locking up?
Do you mean that with the cover and lever back on the arm wont pull it?

Did you definatly put the small plates in the right place?
Can you lever the top plate with a screwdriver and it feel springy or is the whole clutch locked up

When the cluch cove is bolted tight I carnt move the lever but loosen the cover of abit and feel like it has operation

I got hold of a Haynes manual today and looks like I have an extra washer behind the locking washer

You need to pull the cover tight with the clutch lever to ensure the pawls locate in the slot in the pin correctly

Well got a Haynes manual today and look like I had an extra washer behind the lock washer removed that it allowed the nut to sit on more i think, got the cover on and cable but carnt change gear so somthing still not right

Defeated! Managed to gain a cluch pedal that was great but then I couldn't select a gear so removed the clutch again put it neutral and lost the pedal lol good thing tho I can change a clutch 2 mins! But going to see what a bike shop can do

They can be difficult to select neutral at he best of times, but presumably the engine is not running if theres no oil in it. More often, filling through the clutch side can flood the clutch wit oil and cause it to slip temporarily.
What changed to "get a clutch pedal"?
You should be able to (just) push the engine lever by hand with a rag and certainly with a big pair of pliers and it feel like it's working. Are you getting this?

Sorry it is dry and the clutch its working I think it was when I was trying to move the leaver by hand and couldn't I thought it was locking up but when I put the cable on it it had operation but not I carnt select gear now wondering if I put oil in it would be fine

ReMan - 9/8/14 at 09:58 AM

How do you mean you cat select a gear?
You should be able to do that without the clutch, just rock the car back ann forward slightly?

Well I found its the selector shaft the dog drive bit has bent and locking the box up so need to sort a new one just not 100% what year my engine is its a 919 carb with 8 clutch plates not 10 I have seen a cbr600 shaft that looks similar not sure if it will fit
