"It's something I'll have to remember while using the machine."

It's NOT just "something to remember"... It's downright DANGEROUS! In a panic situation, you will depress the clutch all the way, and the clutch won't release!

That was a favorite "trick" of the "Johnny Poppers"... if the clutch brake was not set up right. When the operator pulled the clutch lever back hard to apply the pulley brake, the clutch would be re-engaged. NOT GOOD, when you need to stop in a panic situation!

SERIOUSLY, you need to find out what is wrong NOW, and avoid a disaster later!

I agree. What is wrong is that the previous owners have removed yet another part of the machine I wasn't aware of. This has been a plague since I bought this thing. The foot rests that are supposed to be on this machine are gone but on the lower rails of the subframe are another set. I had assumed they were gone because of the set on the subframe but after some consideration of the present circumstance I've come to the conclusion that the former owner removed them for "convenience" when he changed the clutch the last time. The stop for the clutch pedal would have been on those foot rests. I would love to have a series of good images of what this machine should be equipped with so I could go get the missing parts.
Anyway, I'll be making my own foot rests and stop for the clutch this weekend. The last thing I need is a trip over the side of an embankment on a five thousand pound machine. At least I know the clutch works.
