Is my Clutch broken?

[GokartMan]

Hi
So i have a centrifugal clutch. But i bought it on a engine. I have no idea if it is still working. Here are some pics. Or should i just take it to my local mower engine store service place.

Bit of surface rust.

The best way is to reassemble and try it running for 10-20mins.

without a chain

You took it apart, yes?

Another lesson learned...
Take pics DURING dis-assembly...not after.

without a chain

erm;

1. Get/buy chain

2. Reassemble & install clutch (see brendonv's post)

3. Install chain

4. Test clutch

If Works? = OK, you're done!

if Not works? = Get new clutch, goto step 2.

Id suggest some sandpaper to make clear the rust off the shoes and inside of the drum.

some pb blaster and youll be good to go..

looks fine just sand most of the rust off the drum so the pads can ride smoothly. And keep the bushing lubed with a bit of greese. Those hillard bushings tend to explode when theyre not kept lubed

Any clutch will suffer from lack of routine maintenance. Oil is recommended...Not grease.

WD40 is NOT a lubricant. Its a water displacement, hence the name. Use engine oil
