Sounds like clutch one way bearing wear or alignment/belt problem on creeping issue! 01 and 02 models most prone to this problem. Stalling could be clutch related also,doesnt sound like carb problem. good luck

 

Thank OPT! I always do appreciate your input.

I managed to tear the clutch cover off and observe the primary and secondary during idle. The secondary spins, and I'm under the impression that it should not.

Would it be safe to say that I need to replace my one-way bearing? Does anyone know if there is a "rebuild" kit for this problem?
