My recently acquired Comet has a clutch problem. First and foremost I am not a mechanic. However, I do enjoy tinkering. At any rate, after starting the Comet (she fired up after only two kicks) and putting her in 1st, she required a fair amount of throttle to get going. Applying more throttle, I could not keep the RPMs up and the engine stalled. Felt like the clutch was slipping. The play in the clutch lever while correct before I took off became completey loose. With no adjustment at the lever, I removed the small plate held by two screws on the clutch case and adjusted the nut removing the excess play back at the lever. Started her up again, and the problem repeated itself.
Am I in need of a complete clutch rebuild or is it something simple?
Thanks,
Chuck
