Hmmm, my Grubee came with good quality Allen Head bolts.
Crassius is right, tightened (torqued) properly, the clutch cover has some of the least problem bolts.
Under tight they fall out. Over tighten them and you strip the case. You need a torque wrench.
The right bolts should fit down in the holes, not sit on washers over the hole. The washer loses tension.
If you are using hex bolts over washers over the counterbored holes I can understand you having problems.
Some grease on the clutch shaft and no cable mounted spring will have the clutch pull in easier.
The case is slightly softer than most Japanese engines, but I have hundreds of miles on my Grubee, no problems.
