i think my clutch went out

sounds like spinning metal and no tire movement. can clutch springs be found at Lowes? i hope its just the spring and not the whole clutch.
any special tools needed?
how hard is it to fix?
pics and video links would be awesome

thanks

Im not sure but a new clutch is like $20 at monsterscooterparts.com but i dont recommend buying thier pullstarters, i went through 2 in three months
Its not hard to do,,,you do have to remove the transmission to get to the clutch.....Id pop the flywheel,,lighten it and add a rocket key while youre opening it up..You could also mod the clutches foe performance...Cheap clutches can be found on ebay.........Good Luck

thanks i was wondering about what else could be done while i was in there. haven't taken it apart yet so I'm not sure if i have to buy a whole new clutch or just the spring. so i just ordered the HP spring for the time being.. ill update you guys tomorrow when I've had time to look at it.

quick question what side of the motor is the clutch/transmission on?

its what the chain is hooked up to coming from the engine.......
Sounds like your clutch shoes have worn down to metal, a new spring won't help that at all.
How can you mod a clutch for performance?
crossdrill the pads to lighten them and add a stiffer spring so the clutches throw out later at a higher power rpm.......
Here is the clutch on my Hot Rod engine.

Look at the clutch EPR its a gonner too....That thing sat outside
After seeing that bell I was afraid to look,lol. ADA racing online line has some pocketbike clearance parts I got in the mail today, billet fork tube top caps , small and large w/ O ring, $3.95 a set. Got a Cag clutch bell w/ 10mm threads $3.95, billet WA/WT throttle arms for Walbros on a Cag engine $2.95, big hole billet cag V-stack w/ SS screws $4.95. CAM2 better go check it out.
The best clutch mod I done for my X1.............The bike takes off like a slingshot........

LOL youre not tripping,,,the pics of the process werent quite in focus and when I gotta do a pad change on the clutch on the x1 Ill take clear pics of how its mounted..

Its not that hard to figure but Ill just say you cant go back to a normal clutch again unless you buy a new flywheel.....LOL

The main clutch arm points are the new mounts via some fabricated posts out of grade 10 studs from streetbike caliper slider studs,,retapped and cut down then grooved for the clip.....The original clutch bosses on the flywheel face were shaved off flat because they were in a bad spot...

You seen this one too right..........I got this setup in my stand-up scooter but with crossdrilled shoes and another engine aswell...





I had to get rid of this problem......
