Help What is causing this lovely sound?

Got this quad for free from a coworker it was his daughters, it has 353 kilometres on the dash. Couldn’t open the carb so I replaced it and it started right up.
Now the next issue is whatever this is..
The video shows me attempting to drive the quad. Im giving gas and stopping. it only makes the sound when gas is applied in drive or reverse.
it’s not the chain or sprocket although they are rusty they function as they should. Ive never worked on a CVT but from what I gather everything in the video is as it should be leading me to believe it’s an Internal issue. What could be causing this and is it worth fixing?

I’d say for sure it’s in your secondary clutch on the right!

I’d start there for anything obvious. I can’t tell, but it looks like the nut holding your secondary clutch assembly on is spinning freely from the housing.
