Was a minor pain in the ass, not as bad as I had expected.
Flywheel O ring was hard as a rock (probably my source for the leak), and the felt pilot bearing was deteriorated. Clutch disk was disintegrated but it came out fairly easy and went back in with minimal amounts of aggravation.
Once it was installed, the Thingamajigger would not start. Could not figure it out and it was pissing me off, then it started raining, and I needed to walk away.
I went through a bunch of tests, then did them again. Fuel pressure and delivery is good. Sparks was good in the morning, but not good before lunch, and then good later. Figure there is something funny with the coil due to intermittent issues with spark. Read on The Samba about some having problems with coils in cold. Guess that is as good a place as any to start ruling out options.
Got it going again about 4pm. Started right up and ran great. Turned it around so that I could install the new horns I got in the mail today.
Clutch is great. Shift out of reverse was a bit funny, so I will need to get back under and readjust.
