It needed a head gasket which I replaced and the engine now runs good. However, I am having problems with its moving and turning. I noticed that when running, none of the pump pulleys are rotating... however they are engaged off the pulleys on the engine crankshaft must not be working. I see an electric clutch on the very end of the engine crankshaft which I thought was for low gear engagement Should the pump pulleys be turning when the motor is running, both at idle and operating speed? What causes the pulleys on the motor shaft to engage and turn... centrifugal force clutch? Can someone explain what the electric clutch does (actuated by button on left lever) and how it works? Thanks from a Newbie.</p></blockquote><p></p>
