Bought a Hilliard Extreme centrifugal clutch for my Sundowner project and it seems like it was soaked in oil before shipping. It just will not engage. So I have cleaned it thoroughly with brake cleaner and oiled it per the Hilliard instructions. Haven't tested it yet.
Question is two fold.....Am I correct to assume that a "fair amount" of oil would cause serious slippage? And two.....anything else I should do before I try it again? Scuff the drum? The engagement shoes?
