I've never had to remove and re-install a clutch actuator before, but I'm noticing that its not engaging the clutch now. Of course, it has to be clocked in the correct position otherwise it wouldn't go all the way inside. Its on that old IT490 I'm working on, but the basic design is no different than most (if not all) cable operated dirtbikes today. If I'm not being clear enough, its the shaft with a flat on it that comes in contact with what I'd assume is a push rod. Has a return spring and lever on top that is connected to the end of the clutch cable.
BTW, it hasn't been started after re-installing the actuator. Actually, the bike hasn't been started now for 3 years, and that's how long its been since the clutch was known to be functional.
Is there pressure placed on the rod to reset its position when the engine is running? that's the only thing I could think of... Or maybe the push rod is stuck in the engaged position?
