What are the signs of a broken scooter clutch shoe?
1 Answers
If the spring of the clutch shoe in a centrifugal clutch breaks, the clutch may engage at very low RPM after starting, but the engagement won't be tight. The scooter may exhibit noticeable jerking or shaking, and the clutch won't disengage cleanly. However, this generally doesn't affect ignition - failure to start is likely due to other reasons. The common causes for a scooter frequently stalling during deceleration are as follows: 1. Clogged fuel filter screen: Insufficient fuel supply when throttling up leads to stalling. After stopping, gasoline flows back into the float chamber, allowing restart. But when throttling up again, the carburetor fuel level drops and the main jet can't draw fuel, causing another stall. 2. Clogged carburetor main jet: This may be caused by dirty gasoline or fuel deterioration from long-term inactivity, forming gum that blocks the main jet. 3. Engine overheating causing slight cylinder expansion: For cylinder expansion issues, you must visit a repair shop to replace the cylinder block, piston, and piston rings.
