Clutch Spring
The clutch springs are responsible for providing the centripetal force required to keep the clutch shoes retracted at low RPMs. If a spring fractures or loses its elastic constant due to heat fatigue, the shoes will drift outward and make contact with the drum even at idle speeds, causing the drive shaft to rotate.

Clutch Assembly
Over time, the pivot points where the clutch shoes rotate can become fouled with debris or oxidized, causing them to stick in an expanded position. Replacing the entire assembly ensures that the friction material, pivot tolerances, and spring tensions are all restored to factory specifications.

Carburetor
If the carburetor's throttle plate fails to close completely or the idle circuit is running lean, the engine's 'idle' RPM may stay above the 3,000 RPM threshold required for clutch engagement. A replacement carburetor resolves internal blockage or mechanical linkage wear that prevents the engine from returning to a true low-idle state.
