One of the most common problems on blaster cases. Has your clutch been a problem? If not run with it. Most times the clutch can be adjusted enough to run them broken.Jb weld will never hold that spring tension for any period of time especially with all the terrain we ride on.
 
Ride it like you stole it!!!! If down the road the spring looses some of its tension you can always just get a new spring.Thats springs main function is to hold tension on the clutch actuator arm and to help return the arm to its "neautral position". The spring also locks the arm to the cases. If it has been fine roll with it.

what do you mean if the spring looses tention get a new one i cant hook it to any thing
 
Then you have no worries. If there is no tention on it now then the clutch cabke is doing the work itself.I assumed the spring still had a little tension on it even though the tab is broke.
 
no there isint any tention on the spring at all but if it wont hurt it im not gonna bother with it but i may bull the motor out and paint it
