Its ok your clutch is just getting hott, make sure your idle is set right. if the shoes are always grabbing its gonna get real hot and go bad. make sure the shoes arent engaging at all

your low speed needle may be to lean and your idle may be too high just turn them counter clockwise

very possible that the nut that hold the flywheel and all that together is loose... might want to give that a look.

the one on the end holds the clutch bell on, but if u take the clutch bell off, there is another screw nut that holds the flywheel on, u should be able to tightin it with the 4 way wrench that comes with a start up kit, check and see if thats tight.. let me know how it goes
