200 PV adjuster not adjusting

[kenr74]

I had my clutch side cover off and now can't seem to get my PV working correctly. It does open but the notch is way to high in the window so it opens very late. I can move the adjuster but it is very hard to turn and doesn't seem to actually move the PV.

I have had the cover off and on a bunch of times with the same result. Do I need to take the jug off to put this together correctly or can it be done the way I'm trying??

there is a fork n ball from the top to bottom that need to go together. You can see them by removing the small inspection cover on the right side of the cyl and with the exhaust pipe off. If the adjuster is moving too hard, did you loosen the 4 oclock lock bolt for the adjuster? Or its put together wrong or in a bind inside. It should turn fairly easy and should move the PV when you do so.

I took it apart again last night and the fork/ball were not together. Is it possible that they can come apart once assembled? I thought for sure that I had it together and working correctly the last time I put it together so I'm trying to figure out how they came apart between then and now.

no, they can not come apart unless something is bent or out of wear tolerance. Ive had them together right too, but didnt really, I was just sure it was tho.

i found it easyer to remove the exhaust and the front manifold off the cylinder then put your clutch casing back on making sure that everything is in place then replace the manifold and exhaust

I forgot to update this but I was able to get it all back together and running fine. And by fine I mean hang on for dear life!! ?

I'm still not convinced that it didn't magically pop out by itself but I may have assembled it wrong the first time.
