2. Remove 1 set screw holding upper shaft to black clutch cover, loosen bolt and nut holding upper shaft to clutch cover, slowly pull shaft from black clutch cover.
3. Remove 3 screws securing the black outer cover and gently remove cover.Use care, wires and throttle cable remain attached.
4. Using Allen wrench,remove recessed screw holding clutch cover (silver in color) and pull off.
5. Clutch is screwed onto the shaft, left to loosen, right to tighten. I use a large Crescent wrench and a small screwdriver inserted in to the pull rope assembly to prevent the shaft from turning while loosening.
5. Reassemble in reverse order.
Note: When reinstalling the black outer clutch cover, look at the position of the wires and throttle cable, make sure they don't interfere with throttle handle, squeeze the throttle handle several times to insure smooth operation.
