Stihl FS 80 Clutch Replacement

[INDENT]This one is for anyone who dove into the internals of a 179CC engine on a Cub Cadet push mower. My neighbor gave me his mower that appeared to have a bad valve or broken ring. It smoked and stalled among other things. I told him it was all or nothing and I was going to take the engine down to see what may be wrong. He abandoned it anyhow so there was nothing to loose. I have rebuilt motorcycle engines before and I can get by on what I have picked up over the years but there was something in there that I can't figure out. The crank shaft drives the cam shaft but off the cam shaft gear there is a smaller plastic gear that has what looks like a centrifugally operated device in the middle of it that is associated to a lever that comes out of the case and has a spring connected to it. I can only figure this may be an engine load arraignment of sorts that increases engine speed under high load conditions. That is only a guess but I am curious as to exactly what it is. Has anyone dipped into a Kawasaki engine that deep to know what this gear set up is all about? Thanks for any assistance. [/INDENT]

Am helping a friend with a Generator Problem. It's a Chineese Honda Clone. Nikota 3500. The problem is the unit will make stated voltage of 115v and 230V in a no load condition but will only handle a load of about 200 watts. Anymore than that and the power will go out. Test this with a adjustable flood light. Works on low fine 150w medium 300 watt starts to go dim 500 watt goes out. bring it back to 150w and the power comes back up. Tuff to figure out. Any clues?? Thank you
