A new clutch along with some other parts are on their way.
Today was spent mostly cleaning parts. I had some success using oven cleaner, but the majority of the work was done using kerosene and a small paint brush.
I also disassembled one rocker shaft and cam. Luckily very little wear to be found.
On the other hand on 4 out of 6 rockers the lubrication hole was completely clogged. One was so bad that I struggled for a long time getting it open with a needle. There’s no way that one would have come open by itself! On a different one I managed to pull the clog out with pliers. (See photo).
