Cleaning up clutch plates

The clutch was not working very well in my 86 after I got it running so I tore the drive line down to see what needed to be done...The Clutch plates were in pretty bad shape after sitting up for 3+ years. I decided I would try and clean them up a bit. DISCLAIMER: Try this at your own risk. I am not ...

I made the water mark with a transparent background, I then copy it and paste it into a new layer and adjust the opacity of that layer for the way I want it to look.

Re: Help with K181 Kohler

Goat I dont now if the 8hp is like the 7hp to set the air gap, but if they need adjusted, you may have to take them out and grind them. BUT The problem you are listing sounds like maybe some carbon in the guide or on the valve. Are you running the MMo in the fuel? Geezer or Paul B would be the ones...
