When the vehicle is fitted with an auxiliary centrifugal clutch, the engine cannot be started by towing or running downhill, whatever gear is engaged. It is impossible to do so, as the clutch, which is disengaged from the transmission when the engine is at a standstill, will not re-engage. Should this procedure be attempted, it could lead to serious mechanical trouble.
