MOPED ARMY

I have a a little trouble in the starting end. Had to play with the throttle adjuster on the handlebars side from time to time. The center stand is half busted so I have to run start it. I pulled out the clutch pad. To be fair, not sure what a swollen or fouled one would look like but it seems pretty pristine in there. I’d pulled it awhile back also to check the bushings. Not sure what to make of all that. Should I just go ahead with a new pad? I was gonna make a treats order anyways. Thanks!
