restored now lubrication

[biddie_gibbs]

i resently got a second go kart and it was a Manco stinger. it had a big bulky roll cage. and a engine that did not turn over. so i swapped engines from my first engine. i had to take the torque converter off and put a centrifical clutch on it. got it to run first try. BUT my problem is as soon as i crank up the wheels move. i have tried to adjust the idle but the problem is still there. so i am thinkin i need to lubricate the clutch. but HOW??? people say don't take a centrifical clutch apart cause you will never get it back together. and can you burn up a centrifical clutch? please and thank you for the help!

Yes you can burn them up and yes you cn take them apart, just not fully apart. On the sproket theres a snap ring if you take that off you can pull the drum off. Then you can lube the bushing in the drum and that should help.

Is it a high idle?

An engine i has was locked up and it was a bold that wiggled loose and was rubbing the flywheel, i got lucky.

You can spray oil all over the clutch.

You can spray oil all over the clutch.

NEVER DO THAT, if you do that the shoes wont grip and no moving. I dont understand your problem. Whats locking up? How high is the engine going when its locked up? And yes you can burn up clutches.

We sprayed oil on the clutch on my friends minibike because it wouldn't let go and now it works good.
