My suspicion is that the disc is contaminated, rusted and generally damaged
due to the decade of disuse. At least, that's what various writings online
and in magazines had led me to expect. Even with the pushrod adjusted for
maximum travel I can't get it completely disengaged. The slippage is
probably due to the clutch heating up while dragging - that's my guess,
anyhow. I'll see if I can inspect the linkage tonight. Thanks for the
suggestions on the other bits.
