Hey bro I’ve just rebuild dt50mx same engines but the clutch was working before just wasn’t great but was defo work now I’ve replaced crank etc ( yet to fit top end but refitted to the bike to test and have no clutch )

[@VintageGarageYT]

@@Tizzy_p did you put the little bearing bal in front of the clutch pin back in?

[@Tizzy_p]

@@VintageGarageYT yes mate 100% and I have literally just checked to see if it fell out definitely not is the answer I’ve just popped the seal and was trying to fish it out with a magnet but it’s not having it so gonna make a tea and start pulling it open I have feeling at the lever but it just won’t engage

[@VintageGarageYT]

@@Tizzy_p hmmm. Seems strange. Did you change anything to the clutch or worm gear? What was the reason for the rebuild? I would check everything individually. Does the worm gear reach it's full stroke when pulling the cable? (Perhaps the cable is too short?) The rod and ball are in place, so is the clutch plates in the correct order? Is the 2nd pushrod in place? Are the clutch springs too strong? Perhaps loosen the screws of the clutch cover, which hold the worm gear. If you pull the clutch, does the cover get pushed out?

@@VintageGarageYT the crank locked up due to the piston breaking down and falling in there, I only took the tension out the cable and popped it from the lever itself left it with the case it was working fine before was very sloppy at the lever but was working now it won’t engage, there was only 2 fiber plates 1 steel so can’t be wrong the same springs used I have changed a bolt but I highly doubt it’s that mate as same length etc as the other 3 bolts mate, the 2nd push rod is fitted into the outer basket and outside the nut, just stumped as everything is as it was mate but I genuinely appreciate all of your time and advice there’s a lot of pics and a vid on my Chanel of the bike if interested in looking your likely see how I stripped it but I’m going to tear it all back down shortly and see what I’ve missed or isn’t right lol

[@VintageGarageYT]

@@Tizzy_p yeah no worries. Wish I could give you a better answer, but without seeing it's hard to tell. It's totally possible though that it barely worked before, but for example the worm gear was on its last legs. Removing or disassembling caused it to die. Sometimes these things fail in a way it's hard to see or know where exactly

instead tapping just put a gas weld for few bucks, it will more regid

[@VintageGarageYT]

On the lever itself or what do you mean exactly? Might be worth trying indeed
