Default LT 80 clutch issues

How much grease should be in the primary clutch on a 1997 LT 80? This is what I found on the one I just bought and got running. Would not rev up and take off when accelerating. It also creeped or moved while idling. Should the rollers be plastic covered? All the ones I see on this site appear to be metal? Also I think the crank seal is bad also. Seemed wet around seal area. I'm going to change both of them while I'm at this this point. Thanks in advance. Bought it for the grand doughtier for Christmas and she hasn't ridden it yet.

Thought Jack would have been here by now, but that grease is both a bit soft and there is far too much. I put just a smear on the parts that actually move. Can't remember if the LT80 rollers are all metal or plastic covered. Bigger Suzuki autos use plastic covered, but they run dry, no grease in them at all, except in the centre of the sliding pulley.

I only use a dab of grease to help hold the roller in place during installation.
Older LT80 had the grease like the one in pic. Like mentioned, way too much. The 2002-2006 LT80's Suzuki used no grease..
