Ok, I recently picked up this tiller for my BX1860. The dealer said it was used once by an employee and he would give me a good deal with full warrenty.
I thought great, it's been used, tested, etc.
Well, I was doing some light tilling and must have hit a root or something and it basically killed the engine. So much for the slip clutch I guess. So I get out the manual and see the "run-in" process and do it.
Lets just say the clutches didn't move then either, and the line you draw was still there across the 3(4?) plates. So the manual says to take it apart and clean. They do look seized together, so it will be an issue of breaking them apart them probably cleaning them with something (brake cleaner? Carb cleaner?)
I would call and have them fix it under warranty, but that's a hassle and it seems like a project I can handle (I've done far more and fancy myself a shadetree mechanic.. lol)
I'd like any pointers along the way if possible. Things to do, things not to do. And what if it doesn't slip once I get it back together.
