what Barnett part are you talking about? I just got a 96 F3 and the clutch lever on that ***** is hard to pull in There's no way I can pull it in with one finger, which is what I'd like to do. Do you think it's the clutch cable or the clutch springs? I don't think they're stock springs.

Re: Clutch 2 fingers or 1?

use the leverage affect, find or make a longer clutch (lever) actuator, this is the piece where the clutch cable conects to the clutch. That metal piece that it is conected to. If you make this longer it has a leverage affect making the clutch easier to pull in. you may hve to modify your lower cable bracket.

1 finger on stand ups and 12's sit downs two don't ask why thats the way it works for me. I've got after marke clutch springs. After doing 12's all day I have to pull it back with two fingers and switch to one before I clutch it.
