kerosene to make it hold when en-

allow it to slip.
The theory is that kerosene reduces

proportion to the quantity used. When
released there should be sufficient lu-
bricant between the plates to prevent
u metal to metal contact, which would
cause dragging. while the clutch spring
should be sufficiently strong to squeeze

renew your clutch spring. should the
