That answered my question. No worries about the clutch bolts continuing to back out then

Did you use shim stock or washers, or just leave the bolts a little loose.

Ancient thread I know but... A couple mentions of lighter clutch springs. @woody do you have a source or part number? I'm planning the Barnett clutch and definitely lighter springs along with a fresh cable on my 1976 MAR 350. I competed on it this past weekend for the first time and had a blast. I have another vintage event coming up at Laguna Seca in 2 weeks, so I want to try and get the bike sorted a bit better.

I would be surprised if socal didn't have twinshock classes for their "normal" events. Sacramento PITS (Northern cali) runs twinshocks with modern bikes at all of our events. They get their own class per line so you don't have to compete directly against modern equipment.

Gonna take a while to get used to Norman's new (old) name.

Reviving an ancient thread. @charliechitlins that was exactly what my issue was. Crummy, sloppy kicks, felt almost disconnected... wouldn't start. I was able to bump start it, but no joy with the kicker. I disconnected the clutch cable at the bars, stroked through the kicker twice slowly (with the de-comp engaged), and the 3rd kick it fired like it was brand new! Thanks for that!!! Saved me an enormous amount of wasted time, and probably a bit of money chasing non-existent problems.

Thanks.

Revival of an old topic. How did it turn out leaving the retainer out. I have a 2015 280 pro. I was trying to learn how to get the clip back in all the way correctly. But if I don't need it in there at all, I won't bother with it.
