Is it normal for the clutch on this thing to go "ticka-ticka-ticka" all day? I'm just waiting for it to grab & take off somebody's finger.
I know it is capable of not ticking -- after I accidentally ran the motor backwards, when we ran it the right way, it didn't tick any more.
Until we cycled the clutch. Then it went right back to ticking. Seems to me there should be something adjustable but it is so wretchedly filthy I can't even see the clutch. Only good thing about the sound is it make the operator aware the flywheel is running. Should I try to adjust the brake?
