Unconventional, but clutch is fixed!!!
I posted a problem last month about my clutch slave cylinder not having enough travel to work properly. I ended up going from a 3/4" master cylinder to a 7/8" master cylinder. And that DID NOT fix the problem. The slave cylnder would now move full-stroke, which it did not do before. But it still did not have enough travel to fully disengage the clutch.
I ended up calling the manufacturer, CNC Brakes, again. They advised me to unscrew the dry end of the cylinder and remove the return spring and put a return spring on the clutch fork instead. That ended up giving me the required travel! Actually, I think I gained about a full half inch of slave cylinder travel. The clutch now works beautifully.
So after all the screwing around, it turned out to be a five-minute fix.
I'm only posting this on the outside chance that it may help someone in the future.
