    bummer...

    my motor finnally killed my clutch... i think....

    when it starts, i can rev it up, but neither the clutchbell or spur gear get moving, unless i give it a good solid wack...

    and when i TAP the breaks, or otherwise slow it down, it dies...


    bad motor (not suprizing, with my tendinceis...) or bad clutch (older than dirt)



    good night

    Flywheel. Turn your idle screw in a half turn until it doesnt die when you hit the brakes.
