Clutch problem?
Could be. That was the last part I messed with, so it's a logical place to start.

Cheers fellas but I think it's bad. It's certainly not a simple fix anyway.

The oil had lots of metal shards in it and some of it gold coloured. I couldn't put my finger on what those would be until after I'd pulled the clutch cover off and head covers. The clutch looks fine and I had staked the centre nut, which was my best case hope. The cam gears don't look like they've moved in their slots so the heads are probably OK.

Then I remembered what the gold metal was from since it had a curve to it - oil ring. So it's lunched itself and eaten a ring or ten. Next time I have the inclination I'll be pulling the engine out and stripping it. Season over before it started.

Nice find......though if you have too much extra cash lying around I know where there are a few (though not from Sigma) still around :wink:

You'll be pleased with that, I never felt I needed it on my Storm but it's essential on the SP2. I chose a Sigma as well.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

TSS still have slipper clutch on their website, not sure about availability. Quality is good.

Not yet but I have all the bits to fix it - I found another modified engine. I don't know what the cause was but it's likely there has been an oil starvation issue. When I've swapped the engine over I'll strip the broken one and see if it can be salvaged.
