Getting closer to getting the Zook ready to go. Blasted up and down the driveway a few times today, little surprised it didn't want to lift the front wheel. Assumed it was wheelspin.
Just for gits and shiggles, toddled over to the paved parking lot across the street and nailed the throttle. Aha...clutch is slipping. Notice the lever was all the way out at the end of the travel but some people like it that way so didn't think much of it. Adjusted what little adjustment was left, still slipping under hard throttle.
Sooooooooooo, in addition to everything else, it needs a clutch. I'm thinking springs, fibers and steels will get 'er done. I'm seeing some kits in the $50-$80 range and some others with the super techie carbon fiber and unobtainium components for North of $400! GAS-puh!
Don't need that, won't be pushing it that hard. Stock or a little stiffer is fine. Who do we like? I know Barnett used to be a big name.
