Default G2 metal clanking sound when running

Howdy everyone,

I just picked up my first cart. A G2. The engine runs, but there's a sound coming from the clutch that sounds like metal hitting metal while it spins. Could the clutch cover be causing that or could it be something more serious. I'm just learning about these golf carts, coming from the Jeep world, so any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks!

Broken weights in the clutch. Time for a rebuild... or replace...

Thanks Dave, I'll take a look at that. A clutch rebuild should be easy enough.

Should be able to tell just by taking the cover off.

Also possible is super sagged-out motor mounts, allowing the motor to rattle in the mounts.

Can also be the secondary movable sheave is messed up, it should not wobble around. My broken primary weights didn't make any sound it just didn't shift and went slow. They do crack the cover usually.
