Yes I removed the seal and got a new one today. I got my at NAPA part #17387. I found them on amazon part # 472164. I just went with NAPA so I could see it in person. Knowing now that it is the correct seal I could have saved 10$ on amazon.

Nope. I guess i dont know how loud they normally are. When I removed the muffler I thought it was extremely heavy. So I started another thread looking for instructions on how to clean it out. If my cart is quieter then most i will just leave it.

Would someone please watch the video I posted earlier in this thread. My question is if the drive belt looks to be in the right position on the drive clutch. I replaced the driven clutch and it fixed the funny noise. I wasn't sure if the belt is riding high enough on the drive clutch. I lack power up hills. I have 125 psi compression. I have also sprayed starting fluid all over the engine checking for leaks. Thanks for all the help and replies.

The camera pulls away too soon. You can't see anything.

It's the same old video with your original driven clutch.

I would like a better look at the drive clutch. So far, it looks like the belt is not climbing all the way to the top.
