Ha, you were spot on. I never loosened the nut holding the clutch when I replaced the starter plate, but sure enough that’s exactly what it was. I pulled it anyway just to check to make sure it looked alright. Just put it back together and took it for a spin. This General only has 63 miles on it. I gave it to my son for his 16th birthday. Now after he rides it a little I’m going to put the polini kit I got him for Christmas. Thanks for getting back to me
