i was riding out in the back of my house when i heard a horrible squeeling noise ( had my head phones in and still heard it) i secured it immediately. when i check my new belt praying i didnt just go through a 50 dollar belt it was fine. i went to start it back up but the pull cord was really heard to pull i muscled through it and i heard a weird grinding noise. with further investigation i manually put my hadns on the primary clutch and turned it. i heard a grinding noise metal on metal there were also light metal shavings under the primary clutch with these two sympthoms. does anyone know how deep im in? its an 86 phazer would it be cheaper to fix the problem or am i better off just starting over with another sled?


thanks, Jeremy
 
not at all what he was asking.... lift and wiggle the primary clutch. is there any vertical or side to side play? how about in to out play?

on a side note... i could also upgrade to a 2000 sled fairly cheap, but some of us like the old stuff. they are much less complicated to work on, dont break the bank when you have to fix something, much lighter than the 2000s and great on gas.

but if you feel like spending you next paycheck or two or three on a newer sled be my guest.
