Hi Everyone,
I want to make this as to the point as possible for a hopeful quick fix!!!
I have a motorized bicycle a friend asked to repair. The problem is the bike won't start because the clutch slips.
I took off the head at first to see if the piston was seized, but when the head was taken of the clutch caught on and the piston moved with ease. I ruled that out.
But when the head was placed back on the clutch would catch on for the piston to move around 1.5 times then the clutch being slipping. Take note, I tried using a flat head screwdriver on the small gear (behind the clutch cover) and the piston would not move even then while I turned the gear, I have a feeling something is jammed...
Lastly, the large gear is loose when the plate is taken off. I have multiple engines in my garage and not one of them has a loose large gear.
Would appreciate any help/tips on how to go bout solving this.
Attached a few pics too.
Note: Please assume I have a poor knowledge of the terminology.
Thanks in advance,
Vinoy
