looking for some help here. did a search did not find any info on this. installed my engine. everything connected properly. removed clutch cover and small drive gear to install auto clutch. and I figured while I had this apart and no chain connected I would start it up it see how it runs. I had already installed a pull start. started it and it run great. just took slack out of throttle cables. and it was perfect. went to install auto clutch. went to put on the first clutch cover and it would not go on all the way over the clutch. surfaces were to far apart. looked around, found the clutch and drive sprocket shaft moved about 1/8'' back and fourth. so anyone. what 's the fix for this? any help. message me if you want to respond that way. thanks. looking for help.

that was for manual clutch & pics have disappeared now - I've no experience with cent. clutch as OP is asking about - they require reg & license in CA, so in 6 or 8 years of repairing I've just seen one & it only needed ign work

He said the shaft was moving in and out, that's why I posted the link. I thought the pictures would help him to learn what's involved in a clutch on a standard engine.

maybe you have the anims in your cache because all I get are 'photo not found' placeholders

checking page further shows 'James Swarthout's library is empty'

anyway, the problem with that clutch sounds like the added parts are loose on the shaft rather than the standard clutch failing

I believe the animation no longer works. The OP has removed the animation from Photobucket so all we have on our forum are the photos that was posted of the animation.

There are I think 5 pictures so maybe they will help someone if not the OP, I found that thread when I first started building bikes and it helped me. I download all the pictures so I would have them as reference.
