I've taken an used clutch out of a spare motor that I want to sell. My stocker is slipping badly and this will fit it.

My questions, the spare has been sitting for probably 20 years but was clean and oily when I took it out of the engine. Since these plates are made to go fast and be hot they should be ok.....

Any concerns on using a clutch that's been sitting that long? If it slips also then I'll have to buy one.

I did check the adjustment on the left side cover and it's good. Also checked the cable. I suspect mine slips because the PO probably put some kind of anti-friction coating in the engine. I've since changed the oil and run it for a while.

Check the fiber plates do not have any cracks in them. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. www.z1enterprises.com Z1 Ent on Facebook,
