As far as I've read, the drive clutch(on the engine)is not serviceable.I mean you can get that cover off and blow air in it and whatnot to clean it out, but if you've got stuff falling apart, you're pretty much going to get a new one.Can you put up some vid of what it's doing?I don't think I can help but I'd like to see it.

Thanks

With the cover off and spring removed move the clutch open and closed by hand. You'll see the arms with the rollers attached moving up and down ads the slides that holds them in place. If I remember right where these buttons go is on both sides of the slides. I think you can remove the arms and replace the buttons. A small bolt and nut holds them in place.As for as the clutch continuing to turn after the engine stops that sound like the clutch was loose and spinning on the crank.
