Steering clutch adjustment

[grumpy]

Well it seems like I got all my other problems worked out for now.
Anyone got any exp. adjusting clutches on a D3B 1986 model.

I contacted a man who said the spongyness is them was from fluid that had leaked by . He said there was a way to dry them out? any one got any idea about that.

Steering clutches and brakes replaced a little over a year ago. So i am hoping all they need is adjusted.

Again, any help is appriciated........

We had a D3B once. It seems to me that the steering clutch & brake compartments are dry, is that right? Are they wet from oil or water? Either way, I would put it in the dirt, ride the brakes a little to generate some heat and work the pi$$ out of it. That might dry it up. Also, there are probably weep holes in the bottom of the compartments, make sure they are clear to prevent future problems.

Good luck......

if they have moisture in them????
