hydraulic clutch pressure Jota

G'day brains trust,

My jota clutch lever just starting getting extremely hard and now its almost a 2 handed job to get it to engage... would it be a blockage or air lock? or is there an adjustment nut behind clutch cover?

dismantle and take out the pivot pin from the lever/perch, scrupulously clean it all, both the external surfaces of the pin and the internal surfaces of its corresponding hole (rifle cleaning brush does that bit) and reassemble with some grease, even a smear on the sliding end that engages the hydraulic piston, and see how you go from there. A new nyloc nut is a good plan, the pin tightens in the thread of the perch to control the slack, and the nut locks it all up, vibration wise.

No there aint an adjuster
do as Clem suggest first.
though could also be the hose collapsing inside, does it release OK or is it sluggy also.

more likely the piston seizing in the slave cylinder, an easy repair, but do the Perch first, it has worked in the past.
