on my skyhawk 66cc motor am i able to use the clutch like you would on a motorcycle and let it out slower or will that damage the clutch? or should i just dump it every time?

Thanks,
Dan

Slipping the clutch instead of pedaling up to speed will decrease the life of the clutch pads. Don't be afraid of pedaling. It's still a bicycle and that little engine needs a bit of an assist when starting from a dead stop. 10 mph is a good rule of thumb to attain before fully engaging the clutch.
