Two part question:
Can the brass bushing on the jackshaft clutch be replaced, or should I just be looking for a new clutch?
I ask because after putting this project back together, the clutch bell makes the same noise when freewheeling that it did when I was a kid (it sounds like it spins to the point it starts to exceed its stability limits, then starts to squeal. i assume it's wobbling a bit on the shaft).
As soon as I heard that awful noise from my past, i disconnected the '2nd gear" chain.
Does anyone know what speed the secondary clutch normally kicks in? Depending on the speed, question #1 may be moot since my son is using this to putter around and learn to ride and respect motorized bikes.
I'm limiting his top speed for a while...
