Will see this weekend), and was advised to block the clutch whilst performing the checks to determine the problem. How exactly do you guys "Block" the clutch? A ratcheting tie-down around the whole footrest? Maybe an old coat hanger straightened and fed around the petal and through the holes in the footrest? Just curious... Tommy D. [Reply]   [No Email]

One of my 8Ns has one sitting on it right now and it has been there for over 6 months [Reply]  [No Email]
