Default Some Activity at the Barn

Not too much to report:

Bob is spending the remainder of his vacation splitting wood.
Grant is busy with his Mr. Manual duties.
Guy was away watching oversized kettles boil.
So I had the barn all to my self. After a quick brake bleed, a lube job and oil change, I moved the HUP out of the barn and back into it's shelter - which has dried out somewhat after our prolonged monsoon season here in Ottawa.

I posted a poor video on photobucket (http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r...SummerTest.flv).

You should notice a squeaking sound when I shift gears - that is the clutch pedal rubbing the foot plate which is just wired into place. As well, there is a grinding noise when I first move her out into the sun - that is the starter shifter knob wobbling around. The starter is causing some issues - if the knob is too far forward, the gears engage. Too far backwards and the grinding occurs. I hope that a thin spacer between the starter housing and the bell housing will fix this annoying problem - any other suggestions?
