When riding my newly purchased 1974 Elan 250 single I noticed the clutch seemed to engage late and sometimes made a small screech sound right after take off.

Removed the drive clutch to do maintenance and noticed wear on the arms inside the governor cup. Also noticed the arms made marks inside the drive pulley inner half. Not sure of the term, but where the arms engage seems also well worn down.

Is this clutch gone or salvageable???
Any input appreciated

Pretty amazing these things running 50 years later. Hard to find one that doesn't look like that. If it were me I'd clean her up, lube per manual and ride it till she won't.

I just might but was hoping to get it running better. Also found a washer that was installed between the governor cup and the clutch outer half. Almost certain it fell out of there when I took it apart but could be wrong. I also had 2 washer spacers between the clutch and engine on the shaft which I left on the sled. The parts diagram doesn't show the washer I circled bellow in red. Wondering if it has added to compensate for the wear.
