G22 Clutch rollers

[skip425]

I am replacing the clutch rollers in my G22 because a flat place
had been worn in two of them causing the OEM clutch to lockup

My question is when I replace them with new rollers should some
type of lube be applied to them where they contact the weights or
are they designed to run dry

There desighned to run dry, you only want grease on the floating flange bearings.

Thanks for the help I got some new rollers from cartpartsplus.com these were solid steel not like the rollers
I removed from the OEM clutch which had steel wrapped around nylon and the new rollers came with new pins also
there service people said they should be sprayed with chain lube anyway I installed them and a new drive belt

After looking at the new belt along side the old one the old was about 3/16-1/4" narrower and I think
part of the reason the rollers wore flat spots

Anyway the G22 now runs like new

That's great! Glad you got the clutch worked out, they can be tricky....drive belts wear or get contaminates, good idea to keep a spare. Post some pics of your cart!
