My clutch failed to engage today when I activated the switch. I have confirmed that the switch is in good working order. I have 115 hours on the motor. Increasing RPM's did cause the clutch to engage. Any help would be appreciated. |

might sound silly, but might be a bad battery connection. take wires completely off battery, clean the posts, and reinstall. a bad connection with a voltage drop will play hell on that clutch, especially at low rpm's. good luck!! |

Check the red wire on the key switch... its not in the main harness... it comes from the voltage regulator... I will say it came unplugged. Exact symptoms of what happens. |

The retaining ring on my ignition switch vibrated off, and I just re-installed the ignition switch. I may have loosened that wire in the process. The motor is a couple hours from my home, and I am going up to check the things discussed here. I will report back on what I find, so others may benefit. Thank you for responding and offering me the help. |

I'm having the same issue. can you post a pic of the piece that came loose? I don't know what I'm looking at electrically. |

I just got back from working on my motor. I polished up the battery connection, which looked fine, and I could see the red wire on the key switch (mine is on the top, slightly to the right when looking at the switch from the rear) so I reached in with a needle nose plyer and wiggled the connection. After that I could not get the clutch to fail, even one time. I realize that I need to take that switch out and clean the connection properly (all connections on the switch), but for now I think problem solved. I am a long way from most of you guys and I am the only Gator-Tail guy I know of around here. so being able to come here for solutions is much appreciated. |
