WELCOME to LMF...

On some of the lighter lawnmowers it is difficult to 'feather' the clutch for a smooth engagement...
Likely it is not an actual clutch but rather just an idler pulley tightening the drive belt... Check the pulleys to see that they are still in good condition... :smile:KennyV

Some have a little adjustment in the link rod to the braking/ clutch rod.. If you have a manual look under "Parking brake adjustment"..

Belt could be a bit grabby also - has it been replaced recently?
