hello,
i have ridden my chinese two stroke bike about 150, just gotten her broken in when my clutch went out. i was riding along and suddenly it was like the main chain drive gear disconnected from the engine. i think i may have found the problem. i think i sheared the woodruff key on the small pinion gear on the right side (from the rider's view) of the bike. it is the gear that engages the larger clutch gear. also i don't know where the key might have gone. i could not find it when i removed the small pinion gear. my first question is where can i find a replacement key?
my second question is, in investigating the problem i completely removed the pressure plate cover by undoing the tiny screw on the plate and the flower nut in the center. i'm now not sure how tight i should tighten the flower nut so that the clutch works right.
also what in the heck is that little screw on the cover plate for? i don't see how it holds anything in place.
thank you for any help in advance
