I had an issue I just fixed. Bearing went out in clutch(?) (I guess that's what you call it) - the thing in the rear with the pulley that the center piece moves up and down to control speed....
Anyway; those two bearing in that froze up - and it wouldn't go forward or backward.
So I replaced them and now it does front and back fine...
BUT now my issue is it moves even without pushing down the gas. So what would make that happen...??
I first thought maybe it wasn't moving because the main drive belt was loose and didn't have enough tension.
So I bought a new belt and put it on. IT's the same length; but might be a tiny bit fatter. SO I didn't know if maybe if it "gripped" more..?? And that caused it to go faster or not stop.
I know before I changed the belt I usually kept the gas pedal close to wide open. If I slam it down now it'll almost pop a wheelie... Also now when I take my foot off the gas; it'll still go forward; not real fast; but it won't coast to a stop like it's supposed to
SO question is.....
Has anyone run across this problem; or what do you think or suggest..??
