Known Issues
|
Drive Belt Wear:
|
Drive belts can wear out prematurely if over-stressed, misaligned, or improperly tensioned. Regular inspection and replacement is crucial.
|
Carburetor Icing:
|
Carburetor icing can occur in very cold, humid conditions. Proper intake design and sometimes carburetor heaters help mitigate this.
|
Suspension Bushings:
|
Wear in suspension bushings and bearings can lead to play and affect handling. Regular greasing and inspection is recommended.
|
Clutch Alignment:
|
Improper clutch alignment can lead to belt slippage and premature wear. The manual will detail alignment procedures.
