I'm into old stuff, esp vehicles, and in February I wrote you guys about my proud purchase of a 750 Tote Gote. It's running great now, I live in the mountains with challenging trails, and I let it take me wherever it wants to go. I'll be 69 next month, and I'm talking some steep, twisty, narrow, rocky, dusty passages (feet off the pegs), and it's been a long time since I've been on a scooter, so it ain't long before I trade in rubbernecking for extreme concentration. The gote is ALWAYS in its element, showing off, and I just hold on in amazement. BEST entertainment dollars I EVER spent!!!! Rear brake only, works good, but complete stops are a problem and kill the engine (an 8 horse Tecumseh). The clutch sticks when it's supposed to release. I took it off, squirted some carb cleaner inside and blasted with air, it worked great for awhile, now it sticks again. Whoa, WHOA baby!!!! Plus, when I kill the engine, then pull start it off the stand, I've gotten tired of chasing the bike through the trees before it lays down and grudgingly waits for me to catch up. I would take the clutch apart and attempt servicing, but can't figger how it separates to get inside. It's a Comet clutch with a 1" shaft, 5 1/2" outside bell with 5 1/4" inside spool. Does anybody know where I can buy a new one or how to fix the one I have? I'll try to attach some pix, and thanks for your help. Later, Rick p.s. fergit the photos, I'm having as much trouble trying to attach them as I am getting my gote to quit churning!!
