Default Re: bicycle engine clutch.

I have had to clean my clutch pads about 5 times after almost every 20 minutes of riding. I tighten the star nut till it will not tighten more and it slips until I clean the pads. The system would not start and still won't as the slippage is so bad until I clean the pads. Will I get past this? Am I doing something wrong? This thread documents my build.. 1970 Schwinn Heavy Duty Oh yes the screw that locks the star nut is scouring a line on the cover that I have enlarged with my Dremel Tool.
