I have never worked on one but they are very much like sled clutches.

I went to take it apart when I was trying to hold the movable piece down it rotated in to the correct position. I tried it and it is much better. The belt on the drive is almost to the top (1/8"). It will cruse at 23 mph @ 3900 rpm which is as fast as I want to go. It was almost like it was dry so checked and by grease gun was not pumping so I fixed that and gave it two squirts.

Thanks for the help.

ETA you can not preload the power spring. It is a compression spring.

As I said no hands on, you say there is not a tang on both ends of the spring?
