so i'm fixing up this old sled to sell for my quad parts fund, and i have the primary clutch half-apart to free it up (wasn't fully disengaging). i think i know why, but i want to make sure my thinking is correct.
the centrifugal weights that spread out when the clutch spins (making the clutch squeeze together); should they move freely when i have the outer clutch half off? see pics:
here is one weight all the way in:

now it seems like i'd be able to swing it easily on its axis... well it won't move unless i move it with some leverage, as seen in the next two pics:

should these weights move easily, or is it right that i have to use tools to make them move?
