So you're saying that you pull the lever and it goes straight to the grip w/ease?
And on the lever next to the oil level window, does that move?

Sounds to me like the clutch actuator busted off inside the case. Would not start this thing till I kknew 4 sho it was okay in there/

If you can move that lever on the right side of the motor by hand & you arent a huge, muscle bound kinda guy, its busted inside.

Dont start it.

Here's the lever, check to make sure the cables attached.

If it was, and you can squeeze the lever and nothing happens, then the cables broke.
If it does and nothing happens when the lever moves then a cam inside the clutch cover is most likely broke.

could be other things but you won't know till you go inside.
