can anyone tell me if the large nut outbound of the oil seal (behind the stator plate) on the RHS of the crank is LH or RH thread?..
TIA

Thanks Grant: I have the starter clutch back together (4 out of six springs were bladdered / broken) and got the ignition trigger sleeve the right way around on the second attempt ::) ::) .
I've got all 5 gears back too (after ensuring the marks on the selector drum(s) were aligned (they weren't after the first reassemble): selector action is rather stiff/notchy though. Does this 'wear in' or do I need to slacken the cover and tap it about a bit (seems a bit vague): any guidance/recommendations here?.

TIA

If you have rearsets mine need pulling apart annually for a grease where they pivot on the footpeg or it will seize. Sounds like you still have some drag from the cover still, mine has a longish throw but the lever moves easily. Mine either loses a gear or works great, so not sure about yours
 
I think you're right there, Vince: gear action has improved after readjusting the clutch at the cover and eliminating some of the drag. Hadn't thought about rearset action drag.. will look into that presently too.. :D
