Re: 1949? Ducati Cucciolo T2 - The clean up and dismantling continues
I finished pulling the clutch apart tonight as far as I need to and cleaned it up.
The oil on the plates has to be old... like 40 or 50 years I reckon. It's yellow and not so oily and smells wrong to me, so I gave the plates a good clean with the kerosene and will soak in fresh engine oil when it's time for them to go back in.
They all look used but in serviceable condition:
I wired them up in the right order so they can go back together in the same order they've bedded in and this way I know which way is up and down also.
I didn't see an easy way to fully dismantle the clutch assembly but I also don't see a need to as it cleaned up pretty well:
Then I pulled out the other bits and pieces that were lying loose in the crate:
Gave them all a good clean in the kero, but those spark plugs are very well used so won't be going back in.
The spanner has surface rust but is serviceable.
Two of the clutch plates look ok but the other three have surface rust also.
The spring is probably from a control cable and there's a threaded cable adjuster there as well.
I'm not sure what the round cover is for.
I believe this part attaches the crank that turns the counter sprocket onto the pedal crank:
