I'm new here but have been reading post for a couple day...I picked up a 2007 model Whizzer the other day a little over 200 miles on it....I'm confused as to how the auto clutch works....I have rode the bike....sometimes you can push the bike around with no problem and then other times it wants to tun the engine over....I've had the clutch apart but am puzzled as how it operates...thanks in advance...

It has a one way bearing in the clutch. It should push backwards freely & turn the engine over when you push it forward.

Well thats what it does so i guess it works right...just seems strange that you can't push the bike around without the engine turning over...

When you're going forward pull in the compression release & it will go forward easier. I usually just pick up the back wheel when I want to push it forward.
