Clutch problem

[steveh]

My Gz starts by pulling the clutch in and hitting the starter button, now its not starting very well, i have to pump the clutch in and out about 3 -4 times and it starts, has anyone else had this?

Please help, Steve.

It's probably the safety cut-out switch for the clutch lever. There should be some electrics going in the direction of the clutch lever, and a switch which you can short out to get it to think the clutch is pulled in all the time. Alternatively, strip the bugger, fill the area with WD40, work it about and hope. (Or just get a new switch).
