I'm in the process of rebuliding the 89 Marathon I just picked up. Runs okay other than it wont allow me to take off slowly. Seems like the motor has to rev a bit then the clutch will grab and spin the tires! I did some searching here and have come up with 3 ideas.
1. Clutch is bad? Which one?
2. The drive belt is the original! It's VERY loose and cracked. Mabye it has just stretched? Either way it is being replaced
3. Micro switch that is activated by the pedal needs to be adjusted to be "in time" with the carb
The entire cart is apart now so if it is the clutch I'll do it now. Just want to be sure first. Thx
