Below are pictures of a clutch mechs. from a disposed HT by a frustratted ex MB rider, he simply had enough after 2 engines, both had clutch seizures, the 2nd was brand new 70cc engine.
He said the new engine ran for 1 minute and the clutch seiezed.
I have that engine, it certainly looks new.
In the pic on the right is a brand new clutch assembly that's never yet been used.
It's useless, because the shaft is buckled, the large gear wobbles.
There is no exchange or refund, so I'm stuck with it as a paper weight for now.
Next to it is a dismembered "seized" clutch assembly from that brand new HT 70cc
The lack of qaulity on these components where it matters is beyond comprehension.
It's as if they were machined with a blunt lathe tool and assembled lightly with grease.
Meaning the slide mechanisms feel as if it's full of sand and actually jam up
Some HT clutch operations are smoother than others, this is probbaly the reason why.
The bit next to the tip of thje screwdriver, I don't know what it is, it had to be lightly tapped out.
It could be a spacer between the bearing and the push rod.
This problem of seized clutch operation can be fixed, all you may need to do is smooth it all out. Very simple to do.
