    FL250 Oddy drive clutch problem

    Salsbury clutch The Salsbury, after research, was made in the USA! SAE bolts. Out of business. Comet had bought them. Comet too is out of business.:surrender: Got the bolt removed from the clutch. Removed the cover. Didn't see anything broken but it seems to be "stuck". No amount of...

    FL250 Oddy drive clutch problem

    Thanks again bighead. I'm going to start by making a makeshift tool to hold the clutch. I'll then use that to hold the clutch while I try to thread it in, in case my problem is simply that the bolt backed out a little. What size socket will use on the bolt? It seems to be ~17mm. I imagine...

    FL250 Oddy drive clutch problem

    Wow! Comprehensive information! Can't tell you how much I appreciate the information bighead! Thanks so much. I was feeling pretty confused about this problem. I think it's stuck open like you said. I plan to remove the outer half as suggested and see if I can get some results there...

    FL250 Oddy drive clutch problem

    Drive puley I guess I'm going to have to take the pulley off as bighead describes. Drill a hole in the frame. However, looks like I'll need a couple of tools, a puller (available on Ebay) and a tool to hold the pulley while taking it off (haven't found this anywhere). Once I get it off...

    FL250 Oddy drive clutch problem

    Special thanks for the manual link Bighead. Good diagrams of the parts I'm talking about on Page 8-25. It's the drive pulley that's the problem of course. It's stuck "open". The fixed and moveable faces are maybe 6" too far apart at rest so they don't close nearly enough to grab the belt...

    FL250 Oddy drive clutch problem

    No, the weight assembly seems to be OK. It moves in a few inches when engine is revved. I think that the weight assy. and the bolt thru it have come backed out. It's way too far spearated from the other clutch half, maybe 4-6 inches too wide. Belt is nowhere close enoungh to engage when revved.

    FL250 Oddy drive clutch problem

    Newly acquired FL250 runs good. My son had it out for the first time yesterday and had a problem. Was climbing a hill too steep; rolled backwards quite a distance before being stopped by branches & bushes. I think the brakes need work. Anyway, after stopping and digging the buggy out, it...
