Amigo Clutch

[Kurt]

Hi all, iam back again.
First of all thank you all for your kind Help
So long time ago, i had again time for check the Amigo, yesterday my friends checked the engine again, the valve timing was not correct, around 3mm, now it runs.
But i have a problem, that there is no idle gear? i dont know if i wrote this right. i mean wenn you start the engine on the stand, the wheel keeps runing, no neutralgear.

Can something brocken, do i have to open the hole engine block on right side?

Hi Kurt and welcome back!

It is normal that your rear wheel spins when being lifted in the air since there is no real gear box present. The drive is regulated by a centrifugal clutch. Your amigo should not drive off on its own when it is idling with both wheels on the ground, though. If that happens, your idle speed is too high. Also make sure that you use the proper type of mineral oil, since it is a wet clutch.

It's a bit strange, i hope i can try it again soon.

Oil is engough, and fresh, but i dont remember the viscosity, i think 10W40 or so.

10W40 is okay and here is the centrifugal clutch I was talking about:

Thank you.
I think we have to open the engineblock/clutch to check, it seems to be the clutch is blocked..
