And how do I fix it?

Thanks in advance

Hey dave, run your clutch bell into about .4 and back off the clutch nut to just about zero and run a tank or two like this ( take it easy) dont forget to put oil on the shoe and bell. Then put your normall set up on it when the shoe shows some brown on the face.
Hope this helps ya
