Ahhhhh..... the orange colour is rust......

Rust grows like 'crystals' on the surface of bare steel/iron and could be interfering with the free movement of the disk. It is likely that the rust is your problem.

Go to a hardware shop and buy a sheet of EMERY cloth. (Make sure it IS emery cloth, it's like sandpaper for steel but is the PROPER tool for this job). Tear off a square and rub the surface of the disk clean on both sides. Wipe away the dust and then see if the axle spins freely; ideally remove the chain so it can spin freely.

Ideally, rub the disk 'radially' (from the inner to the outer edge or vice-versa) and NOT 'circumferentially' (round and round).

BrianP's views are SPOT ON on this one. Chcek those things!

Finally, you can always call Simon Wright's team (SWRD on 01353 648648) and ask for Nick who is is simply the NICEST bloke in karting!
