Re: Foot clutch
It sounds like your clutch springs are shot, but that's another matter.
There are two basic "stops".
One is the footboard.
The other is a pin located on a hole in the pedal below the stud for the clutchrod. It extends inward to limit travel between the two "lips" or turned out edges of the bracket (36842-41)
I have never seen it in the books, but my first Police Special came with one. It's great for keeping the primary chain from wearing out from excessive side travel.

Re: Foot clutch
Cheers for that, a pin should do the trick! For some reason the footboards do not stop the lever,they must be set too low, but thats a different problem.
