Sticking Clutch - 2pg
hello everyone, i am the new proud owner of a mismatched (pre 80?) 3 wheel ez go, the one with the internal starter/generator
after messing with a hairball of previous owners wires it seems to run great, Now onto the Problem! when accelerating the clutch generally works fine, but it does not release when decelerating & when you try to restart the belt tension prevents it from starting ( if you give it a push it will get up to speed and start.) once and a while it will snap free and work fine for awhile, then it will stick again is there a simple fix for this, replacing the clutch is not an option, the cart was free and im willing to put time into it, but not much money. |

Re: Sticking Clutch - 2pg
Witch clutch is sticking drive or driven?
Drive you need to remove the clutch, takes a special tool witch can be purchased or improvised with a bolt and a spacer, and clean it and check for broken bits and rust. Last one i saw doing this was rusted badly and the after a good cleaning it worked great for awhile. Then it did it again. The return spring broke. 15-25$ on ebay. Have read on this site about some driven clutch issues. Almost all exposed so you can usually see the issue. |

Try dry lube on both clutches (graphite) and it will work for awhile.

clutch attached to engine is drive or driven?
thats the one acting up, i pulled the main bolt and it revealed a copper colored spacer shoved in there, which is shredded, im going to look for something to replace it and see from there. |
