Quick Question for you you guys.

Currently running an R-40 with a siro evo 2 motor. ow tha problem has just started recently.
The problem is after every run I make the engagment of the clutch always backs out causing a later contact and causing a heat rise in the motor.
What that said it is wasting my time each and every time I run again because I have readjust the clutch.
Now for the cause, I think it's the spring that is wrong out, but I would like to get some input from you guys about this or point me in the right direction.

thanks a bunch
I have had the same thing happen. I dont know for sure what was rubbing the adjuster nut, probably the clutchbell. You need to use loctite or teflon tape on the clutch bolt to prevent the adjuster nut from moving. Once I used loctite it never moved again.
