Sporty Automatic freewheeling hubs

Forum: 

The automatic freewheeling hubs on my 92 Sporty ELXi have recently refused to automatically lock! How can I convince them that this is very naughty (and inconvenient when approaching a rather slippery incline!!). I have fitted some rather effective 235/75/15 mud terrains, should size effect performance (of the hubs!!). Any workshop type data or diagrams greatly appreciated.
