I also find blue locktight works best for holding the clutch nut in place (you can skip the goofy washer and just use a lock washer with the locktite too if you don't have one) - its easy to determine if the nut comes loose while motoring, which i had happen before the suggestions above with the locktite - your clutch will need constant adjusting, and if you pop off the inspection cover you'll see the clutch assemble rise/move off the shaft when the clutch is applied -
