Is the clutch fan supposed to spin all the time? Are there times when the clutch is fully disengaged (not spinning)?
Sorry figured Someone would post by now...
When cold it should be fairly easly to turn but there should be a little resistance. Older ones do get loose. When it get's hot then it's supposed to engage the viscous fluid in the clutch...
Frankly I'd lose it and put an electric fan on.
I have a smaller used Flexilite off my car as I put in a honkin big one for the track car. Should be adequate for street use and moderate thrashing. You can order a sensor probe to automatically turn it on or put in a manual switch. Let me know if interested.
Stay cool!
