Welcome aboard.

Sorry I don't have any kind of answer for you. I'm not familiar with that motor.

But someone will come along with something.

welcome

well -- hope that your clutch is adjusted right
if not it's probably to late for that one

always when clutch is released -- should at least be a little slack in cable

as we ride those things

49cc sorry about that. clutch is standard centrifugal 49cc clutch no adjustment

49cc sorry about that. clutch is standard centrifugal 49cc clutch no adjustment

I am also sorry about that Roger
I just took it for granted that you had a standard clutch

anyway -- time to pull an inspection of your centrifugal clutch
maybe a spring broke -- popped off or worn someTHING out

I also at this time have a centrifugal set up
I try to go easy on it with the take offs from stop
and help it up hills
trying not to have excessive slipping

don't want to wear that thing out

just learned a stronger spring will make it slip less found a spring at scooter parts depot .com
