That explains it. You'll need to get a special tool to remove the centrifugal pickup (which is just above the clutch in your pic, secured with three Phillips screws) and the clutch. This tool will remove both parts for you: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Motorc...909af6&vxp=mtr

When you remove the cover from the centrifugal pickup, you'll likely find some silver sludge inside. Make sure you clean it all out. It's a good idea to replace the gasket that is under the cover as well. If you have access to an impact wrench, it will make removal of the three Phillips screws much easier. They strip easily.

When installing the bolts that worked loose, clean them well and secure them with blue Loctite 242 or red Loctite 262. Use 242 on the Phillips screws.
