Clutch off. They did not use the keyway. Which is what I expected from what the local said. Clutch disk was ruined though. It’s okay, wasn’t gonna use it.
Went to the current KT. I had tried with just a pry bar to get this one off at one point and couldn’t. But while we were messing with it the center disks just came out. To find this.
This person did use the keyway. I didn’t know the clutch could come out like that! I was about to put a puller on it and ruin this clutch.
Anyways. Disks looked fine. I oiled up a brass bearing. They recommend vaseline, odd but whatever.
I also put the original carb for the current KT on the spare KT as it was fine but the local put a brand new on on the current.
But the spark plug wire has a huge gash in it. I swapped out the spark plug as well. So if I need to swap motors I will also need to swap a coil and whatever it’s called that I use feeler gauges to keep it off the crank. Still shouldn’t be but a 30 min from start to finish if need be.
I just want this weekend to go well for my daughter. I don’t care if she goes fast but if her kart isn’t running right, it’s my fault. It’s on me and I hate that. I feel like I have all the bugs worked out but that doesn’t mean shit.
