So first some info before the problem.
HS49cc 4 stroke engine with EZ Qmatic drive
Engine has sat for about a year unused
gas is around a year old
last thing I did before not using it for a year was a valve adjustment
rear 62 tooth sprocket
just installed the flex pipe exhaust from Quenton
Just installed copper fuel line and sediment bowl
original spark plug
My problem is that the clutch does not seem to engage or engages very little. The engine runs ok from what I can hear but I have no way of telling the rpms. I took apart the clutch and every thing looks ok, but I'm no expert. spring was intact, shoes look ok, bell has a little/normal? wear but i dont think its significant. The belt doesn't seem to be slipping as it is turning the rear pulley. Only thing i noticed was the front pulley has a tiny wobble, not sure how it got there. I am leaning toward it not having enough rpms but not sure if thats the cause or how to fix it. Any help is appreciated, Thanks.
