I took off my clutch earlier this year and decided it was still good, so I put it back in. Since then I have noticed that it now won't unlock up very well. It doesn't engage at idle (at least when the wheels on the ground) but when I lift the kart up the wheel spins relitively fast. Well, last time I used it, I probably hurt it more because I was going slow and stuff with alot of weight and steep grade and it ended up smoking. It still doesn't lock up at idle but it sorta sticks because when I let off the gas the cluch doesn't disengage correctly. I have to use the brake or the thing won't stop. Is there any hope with this clutch?
Clutch may be on it's last leg

Have you oiled it? Sounds like its oil staved. Get it nice and warm and put some oil behind the split ring. Theres a bushing in there that will soak it all up. Should fix it. If not maybe take the drum off and sand ur pads and the inside of ur drum. Might be rusty.
