I was driving it on a dry lake bed going around 45mph and it starting bogging down like a carbureted atv and then i slowed down to a stop and it shut off. I tried to start it in park and it started and tried to put in gear and it grined the gears a bunch and it stalled out. Then i tried again and put it fast into gear and just grinded gears but stalled out after i let go of the brake pedal. Anyone know what the problem can be?

Belt/clutch? Just a guess...

 

[turboedsupe]

Yes you need some clutch work. Something is sticking and causing the secondary to spin with the primary. Pull the cover off and see what’s going on

 

[CrazyElecE]

+1 time to pull the clutch cover and see what's going on in there.

Without more info ( year miles hours, recent repairs, etc, etc) you will only get guesses and speculation.

I have to agree w / EricB on the clutch based on description of issue. Had similar symptoms on my machine. Bearing in primary seized.

I would agree also clutching-
Pull the clutch outer cover, put it in neutral, start it up.
Check to see if the secondary spins. It should not spin at idle unless you throttle up enough to engage the primary then it will engage the secondary.
If it spins ( the secondary) with no throttle then the primary bushing that the belt rides on could be bad, or belt alignment is off .
Remove the belt and see if the primary belt bushing is locked up- it should rotate back and forth with little to no friction.

great info on how to check if this happens. JMHO

Secondary does spin at idle. Will pull secondary off later today to see the issue

Belt is inside of secondary while vehicle is off. Should be on the outside right? And inside when clutch is engaging?

 

[ntrsandman]

If the pics of the clutches are with the engine off, it looks like they are reverse of normal. Belt should be down in the primary and out on the secondary. As RPM increases, belt goes towards the outside of the primary and toward the inside of the secondary.

You can see in your pics the weight is stuck on the primary. Your rollers and weights are probably toast. Might be a good time for primary and secondary rebuild/replace

 

[Rockymtn5280]

Something ain't right. The belt is way too far down on the secondary at stop.

Send your secondary to Premier Clutch. LINKY

He will make it right for 1/3 the price of a new one.

Primary sticking Just few months ago someone had this happen to them. Maybe @Aewbank can chime in on if any of those suggestions were his problem. As you will see from his photos his primary wouldn't fully disengage either.
Good luck and keep us posted.

 

[Highrider]

Yikes !! @elrzrxp
Take the belt off and check that primary- it should not have the weights engaged like that when it's shut off.
You can take the 6 bolts off and remove the cover & the spring in the primary and check why the weights are in the full open position. ( but after you remove the belt )

Remember to re-install with the X on the cover and the X on the spider aligned with each other for balance.

Alternatively, the secondary might have internal damage preventing it from closing any further, keeping the belt down in the secondary, preventing the primary from opening up. But a stuck weight/roller in primary could also be the problem; I agree with @turboedsupe , both clutches need to come off for inspection and rebuild or just replace the faulty one.

 

[ford4442003]

looks like the primary weight has overtraveled and stuck on the roller, most likely the roller is broke or badly worn most likley just need new rollers and pins that hold them in place seen this happen before if stranded hit the weight to get it back in plaec and drive back slowly so it does not come all the way back up to this position

 

[bigpapaparker]

Yeah the issue is the primary.. Likely could smack that weight with a small hammer or whatever, it'll most likely slam back into place releasing the belt and allowing the primary to separate. Which should allow you to gently drive it a little. If not, you'll probably need a clutch puller to get it apart without cutting the belt
