It’s difficult to understand what the problem is. Do you think with the clutch engaged it’s metal on metal or a piece of metal in the clutch plates. You know it’s unusual in having a car type clutch. The clutch cable could be failing slowly and stretching.
I'm renting a trailer next Friday and taking it to a geezer in Ruislip. It could be so many things or multiples having sat unused for 35 years. I'll report his findings.
The clutch is the only job I didn’t diy on mine. It’s possible the clutch material aged and then disintegrated when you started using it. It’s a dry clutch so it could sound like an angle grinder.
I’ve been diy servicing mine for 20 years. There are great when you get them in good order.
