Took the primary clutch of my sp500 and found this
I have a 2000 sp500 with 1200 miles. I have been having some creeping issues, so I decided to by a clutch puller and remove the cluch. The first thing i found were two 3/8" cracks on the sheaves right above the one way bearing. The second thing I did was to push down on clutch to compress the spring and noticed that about 50% of the time the cluch would get caught and would not spring to its full open position. I held the clutch in the compressed position and cleaned thoroughly with break cleaner. After that it springs to its full open postion all the time. Could that be all that was needed? Sould I worry about the cracks in the sheaves? Also, how much play should there be with the one way bearing (in and out to and from the crank? The belt is realativly new and the idle and motor mounts are fine.
Thanks,
Jim

After work today I was going to put the clutch back on when I decided to push up and down on it again. After I initially cleaned it, it worked great. Now that the brake clean dried out one of the weights gets hung up on the "center bushing" causing the sheaves not to open up. What to do next? Should I just by a new primary clutch? Should I rebuild it with the small cracks in the sheeves?
