So super reliable.
Or never used at night.

The latter I think - those are the remains of the original rubber coated wiring loom.
And it was still running when I bought it off the original owner, so electrics were not of much concern.
Flywheel powered lighting no battery model ....

That old and no chewed screw heads. Can't have seen much use.

Yep.  Pretty much did that.  And the "crunch" went away.
Thanks to all.

You could try giving the clutch cable a bit more freeplay, initially ?
And still get the clutch to free off enough.

Yes, simplistically, set the clutch adjustment up by the book. This happens when the clutch pushrod throw is adjusted to push "too far".

More researching leads me to believe that over ramping might be the problem.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Thanks.

Sounds like the balls in the clutch release mechanism are over-ramping.

A 'crunch' doesn't sound at all normal, or like any of the common ailments !

Have you checked for in-out movement of the basket, or up-down play in the shaft.
Chains that are overtight is another remote possibility. ?
