stuck clutch doodle bug

#1
i have a stock doodle bug that i took the govener off of. today on a short ride my clutch seized about a mile from my house so i couldnt slow down below about 10 mph with out having to bump start it again. how many people have had this problem?

im getting a 6.5 clone soon what size clutch dose that take? 3/4 inch right

Thats common due to maybe a cheap clutch and a small rear sprocket. I bought a like new DB for $100 and it did the same thing but I was putting a bigger engine in it anyway. I sold the engine quickly for $40 and put in a 6.5 with TAV 2.

For the bigger engine you'll need a 3/4" clutch and stick with Comet or max torque @30-$35 then maybe think about a slighty bigger sprocket (like the new DB's come with) You will have to use the other engine mount holes and might have to open the slits up to the right so the chain lines up.
