From the good old days when you were always fixing a bike or car. Beautiful vehicles.

I have always used magnets for pulling clutch plates.

And they work just fine 9 times out of ten. But every now and then . . . .

How much oil did you put in the primary? The manual says only add 120cc's to prime it, don't put the full 350cc's in it. The bike will level it's self out. If you put the full 350 into it, the clutch can stick really bad. The clutch pull on the 78's is notoriously hard... that's why people switch to the 7 plate clutch conversion and 650 springs

Makes no difference how much oil you put in The 3 holes drilled from the chain case into the crankcase will level it off

On the later Triumphs with the tree holes, the manual says to prime it with 120ccs when changing oil. The first time I changed my oil I didn't read the manual carefully and I filled it with 350cc's (which is what the capacity is listed as) and the clutch was really sticky... I couldn't free it by kicking it and when I'd drop into first gear when cold the bike would stall out. I emptied out most of the oil in the primary and the problem went away. That was my experience with over filling it.

Clutching at straws?
