indicates a broken wire at the steering head and any movement is breaking contact

Check the switch and if that is ok then check the solenoid

More than likely to is the bearings on the front drive that are out, that would be why the track came loose in the first place.

Clutches can be easily disassembled using the proper puller and spider removal tool, you will also need a holding fixture as the spider can be very tight.

You will get engine specs from the engine tag serial number does not provide this.

No too old

Check the diaphragms in the fuel pump most likely flooding through the engine pulse tube from the crankcase.

Valve is bent, stuck open. Pull the heads.

Sensor thinks it's still in reverse so engine is limited.

Before you do any of that check exhaust for restriction.

Remove the clutch cover then the spider (special tool required) there are some washers to add between the spider and engine side of clutch shaft to set pulley width. But before you do that when engine is off does belt have side clearance? If the answer is yes, you may only need a new clutch spring as they loose tension with time and idle speed may be engaging clutch

Stator behind the flywheel, using service manual test stator output.

When in a pinch I have used a business card to set the gap, remember close will advance timing further will retard timing, unless you are a long way from the flywheel gap most likely not the issue but will affect spark intensity. Most likely bad pickup coils or weak magnets which requires flywheel replacement.

Service manual give complete details in testing CDI unit

Sounds like you have a wire shorted in the stator , it may be pinched to ground.

It's not the chi it will be the pickup coils behind the flywheel that are breaking down when they get warm.

Sounds like fuel supply, most likely bad diaphragm in fuel pump. Start by making sure gas free flows from tank to filter, I would replace filter as it gets overlooked then it should go to fuel pump then carbs. Good luck!

Most likely floats are stuck and carburetors need cleaned.
