Yes, a little clearer perhaps - if looking through muddy water is clear. Let me say what is getting me.

LOL--OK you did good in holding the black gear ----------- Ok, I am holding the 2 gears from the bottom that are part of the clutch I think
Now look at the end of the engine--there will be a big gear closer to the engine--that is the flywheel
Look further to the end of the clutch bell-the silver thing--you will see smaller gear ( or 2 if it's a 2 speed) this is the gear/s you have to get your finger on to check the mesh--any clearer LOL


And the rest is like - ok the 2 I am holding are the 2 speed gears/clutch gears - but the rest here is blah. I am sitting here looking at it, and had my friend read it - we are not even getting it fully. Not stupid by no means, but I have been told in pm's and post so totally different. Does anyone have the correct way?

Here is what I have beenn told 3 out of 11 post or pm's -

On the bottom there will be a single, silver gear. This is the spur gear.
Now to the right of that will be 2 black gears. Those are the 2 speed gears/clutch.
Hold the 2 black gears snug. with this done, move to the silver gear and check for play left and right.
If it moves more than the thickness of a hair, it is too loose. this means as you turn it, it just barely nudges.

If this is correct, please tell me so. Not to sound in any way rude, but these pm's and post of "here, there, closer, farther, just push it around" is confusing, and completely worthless to me as a beginner - I try to comprehend and half of the time with these instructions yo are holding and pushing the same gear at the same time.
