Your answer sounds the closest to what I think I've got. I have turned the auger by hand and it moves freely. I'll need to do it again to make sure I have gone a full revolution though. I'm guessing though (and I'm no mechanic) that it wouldn't turn so well once it gets turning with the motor if that was the issue. It turns smooth once you add throttle and get past the initial roughness. It seems to me that you nailed it with the clutch issue. Only problem with that is that I have no idea what a flyweight/clutch pad is, or how to spray carburetor cleaner into it.
