    You might want to disregard his recommendation of Chain Wax as the lubricant for the "Oilite" bushing in your clutch and go with a 30 weight non detergent oil or any specialized bushing lubricants.(light machine oil, etc.) Remember the rule of thumb, normally bearings require grease and bushings require oil.

    I always lube up the inside of the clutch, it supposed to help the clutch live longer

    It's interesting that you mentioned that 1" clutch for 18hp engines. Your website says it's "rated for up to 7hp".

    • @GoPowerSports
      @GoPowerSports  Рік тому

      True, the factory will have it only rated up to 7HP. But we have seen Stage 1 Predator 420 Engines on Coleman Minibikes that use this 1" Bore 1041 Heavy Duty Clutch. The lighter the rig, the longer your clutch will be useful. I definitely would not recommend this set up on a Live Axle Go-Kart.

    Thanks Jason! quick question. Would a flathead motor use the same clutch/torque converter as the OHV shown?

      Centrifugal clutch will be easier to use and still hold up, but that 40 series torque converter is a great upgrade if you can fit it.

    I have just built a gokart with my cousin. All is good except the clutch. Its not engaging 😢 its a 13t 1" bore, 420cc 15hp. When the engine revs it doesn't engage. All we hear is the clutch rubbing off the metal. Any suggestions would be great. I have video if needed

    Do.they make heavy duty 1 inch clutches with 1000 rpm stall speed. I am using it on a boat so that is why i need a low rpm stall speed.

    Why would someone want to buy a more expensive $200 clutch over a max torque clutch? I am going to buy a new one tomorrow and I’m trying to figure out the difference between them

      Is one of the 3 little pieces a key? It should look like a rectangle steel piece.

      You'll need a 3/4" bore Centrifugal Clutch. #4335 or a 2-Disc Clutch would be a good choice depending on your set up.
