possibly, you may have to file it or cut it shorter if its to long like the i used in this video. but don't over file it, you don't want it fitting loose, or it can rock back and forth and mess up the slots on the clutch or crank. thanks for watching!!!
you can get them online from tewarehouse or pats small engine, they all have a variety to fit shaft sizes and chain sizes along with pulley/belt driven instead of chain. Average price around 30 - 40 dollars.thanks for watching!!!
i'm uploading a video right now on a 5 horse i just bought. they use a 3/4" bore clutch, chain size depends on your go kart/mini bike's sprocket. thanks for watching!!!
Caelan Wilson I hear ya! Glad to help out! This was a greyhound engine, basically the same thing, still made by Lifan, and is identical to a honda. Thanks for Watching!!!
Thanks for the quick and easy explanation. Hate it when it takes 10+ minutes of video explanation and shameless product placement to find out what goes where in the last 2 seconds of it. This was perfect.
you can install them either way, sometimes you have to if your go kart/mini bike is offset or doesn't line up. most clutch manufacturers say whether you can reverse them or not. not sure. Thanks for Watching!!!
just depends on your bike/go kart. If you put the clutch on with the sprocket outwards and the chain is crooked, than it will need to go the other way. The one in this video came from napa but you can get them online cheaper at tulsaenginewarehouse they sale them for about 30 bucks. I recommend max torq brand. thanks for watching!!!
i can't remember right off hand what size bolt it is, but it will vary on different engines, and no it doesn't come with the clutch, the 2 set screws do but thats it. any hardware store will carry the bolt you need. thanks for watching!
@taboo243 your not supposed to lube it any, thats what it was oil got into the pads and it started slipping and overheated, and probably burnt it up. Also if you run a go kart/mini bike in grass, they will wear out sooner. also make sure your rear axle isn't locked up, that would cause it to slip and get hot too. And if the chain is out of line it could be rubbing the clutch heating it up. hope this helps. thanks for watching.
it can, but on this one it was really tight and i was trying to make the video as short as possible, you can work with it and get all the way over if you need it. thanks for watching!!!
Thanks man, simple straight to the point, idk where these other people are getting these fancy nice naks an crap for the clutch I'm not lookin for allat, just this,
not to argue, but, if you don't use the 2 set screws the clutch can move on the crank, the only purpose of them is to keep it in place. You are 100% right about the keyway being to long, I didn't cut it off in this case, just because i was only making this video, no point in wasting a keyway if it wasn't going to be used. thanks for watching!!!
thanks! Yes they do sale belt drive centrifugal clutches, look online, tulsa engine warehouse sales them. I think a pulley/belt set up would be easier to do, maybe not as durable since belts wear faster than chains. only problem with welding one is, it is almost if not impossible to get it centered without a wobble, unless you have a lathe or milling machine to do it accurately on. thanks for watching!!!
I haven't seen one yet that doesn't, unless its been cut off. you can use a shaft collar instead, it would serve the same purpose. thanks for watching!!!
@george2011k so its kind of just wedged on there? get a gear puller and use that to pull it off then put it on again. if the clutch is engaged all the time, the springs might have broke inside it. Might need a new clutch. i will take a look at it. thanks for watching and i hope that helps.
I have a 127cc Briggs & Stratton engine on my GoKart just recently bought the same clutch but newer. It fit the rotator but the rotator doesn't have a hole to screw in to tighten it down and I'm noticing even with the old clutch and the new one it would just slide off the rotator since nothing is actually keeping it in place what can I do to prevent it from sliding off the rotator?
thanks, yeah these china engines uses a 5/16-24 thread bolt, it does vary on some engines, i can't remember what briggs is, might be the same thing. (its actually called a crankshaft) Thanks for watching!!!
don't do it! Several reasons, first of all you will ruin the crankshaft and will never be able to tear the engine down unless you cut the shaft. and it would be impossible to start it safely, and to stop, it would always be moving. So yeah, i don't recommend doing that! you can get a clutch for about 27 bucks at tulsa engine warehouse, there good too! hope this helps, thanks for watching!!!
@AussieBass96 if your talking about the engines that have a taper shaft? most people switch out crankshafts for one with a regular end on it. thanks for watching.
@blakegorman69 i know. thats the only keyway i had at the time, and i never used this for anything, just for this video. If i was going to actually set up for a go cart or mini bike, i'd do it right. thanks for watching
@seelder4 yes it can be a problem, if the keyway is not the right size it will not lock on the shaft and could slip and score / scratch the crankshaft. I always try to respond ASAP.
this particular engine uses a 5/16-24 thread bolt (for the side bolt that goes in the crank), the 2 set screws, i'm not sure what size they are. The bolt that goes in the crank does vary by engine, the manual on your engine should say. thanks for watching!!!
@hanssLA well kind of hard to answer, you can't go by the number of teeth, thats the same as diameter of a pulley, it don't matter. if your working on a mini bike then its usually a #35 or #41 same for a go kart. you can take the clutch or sprocket to a place that sales chain and they can tell you what you have for sure. i hope you understand, if i had in my hand i could probaly tell you what it is, even you had a picture or video it still wouldn't help. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
@taboo243 and also like i said, make sure your rear axle turns freely, bearings don't last forever, and sometimes the rear axle will start to seize up. no problem, glad to help!
@Abven9 not all are the same, 3/4" is the standard for briggs and tecumseh engines around 5 horse power, just depends, some smaller engine use 5/8" shaft, bigger ones go up to 1 1/4 on riding mower engines. And when buying the clutches you refer to the hole as the bore of the clutch. Thanks for watching!!!
@sonayvaio if you mean the bolt on the end of the crankshaft, harborfreight's website says 5/16" - 24 threads, should be able to find it any hardware store or lowes. your welcome, and thanks
@f00bert24 usually when they smoke the clutch is slipping, and what usually causes that is running in grass or oil getting on the pads and making it slip, or a stiff/seized up rear axle. Also another thing the engine could be to much horsepower for the clutch, the rating has to match up. hope this helps, thanks for watching.
@pretzel1253 i take taht back. the only performance benefit they provide is if you have stronger springs, the clutch will engage at a higher rpm, therefore accelerating faster, but you loose low end, setup for racing only like that.
I'm not to familiar with kohlers, mainly briggs, but from what I gather online these motors are actually a Honda GX200 clone, parts are interchangable. Kohler may be too, not sure. I don't care much for tecumseh's! Always carburetor problems! thanks for watching!!!
Just made one out of a old electric scooter the zinc make and put a gx120 4.0 Honda on it with a seat it’s fast as well took me a long time to get the belt one off as it keeps slipping off as it was rusted on
@94hambone Hi. It should be either a 1/4-28 or a 5/16-24 bolt size (machine thread). As fas as i know it should be 1 of the 2, if not just buy a size bigger and smaller of that and try it. Hope that helps you. Thanks for watching.
wish i could, but i don't have a complete 5 horse briggs (missing the carburetor, oddly enough) but eventually i'll do a complete rebuild of a 5 horse. sorry i can't help you on that. there should be a video on that on youtube here somewhere i would think. thanks for watching!!!
@CamoPeng its a standard 1/8" keyway. it should be the same for a honda, as this is a copy of a GX200 honda, parts are interchangable between the 2. but i think the smaller ones (like 140 and 160) have a smaller crankshaft, can't say for sure. thanks for watching
What size sprocket is that also where did you buy that clutch? My predator 212cc 3/4" shaft has a key male end and every cintrifugal clutch i could find was keyed small not really fitting that hole like you think it would
Not sure of the sprocket size its a standard clutch so probably geared to be in the mid range i'd say, i will find out. It came from NAPA along time ago, its a max-torque brand i do know that. It should have a standard keyway, the engine in the video is a greyhound 6.5hp, basically the same as a predator 212. Thanks for Watching!!!
I wouldn't recommend it, you will have to shop around and find one rated for higher HP. They do get very expensive in the higher HP range. Its actually better to have a clutch rated for more HP than the motor, it will last longer. Thanks for Watching!!!
my key is to small so the one screw that clamps the key isnt touching anything and the other screw is perfect on the shaft. is it a problem if the key screw isnt touching the key? PLEASE REPOND
i don't know, might work, but make sure the tank is below the carburetor or else the gas will just overflow into the carburetor through the jets. i would try to modify the frame somehow to fit, if thats possible. If not you might be able to find a smaller tank.
I don't really know what would be causing it but one way that should work to fix is it use some blue loctite on it, that stuff will keep anything from working loose! I can't really think of anything that would cause that unless the keyway or keyway slot is worn some and there is some slop in it, making it work loose. Thanks for Watching!
That engine looks like a clone to a Kohler! I'm getting a 6.5 hp Kohler for my go-kart. It has the same size crankshaft and max rpm as a 5 hp engine. After 5 years, I wore the original engine out on my go-kart. It was a 5 hp Tecumseh.
@fnaguitarplayer9 and just so you know, the engine in this video (Greyhound) uses a 5/16-24 as well. And this engine has a 3/4" crankshaft, which is the same as a briggs.
what happens if my clutch is smoking? like on my go kart I have a solid axle (manco dingo) and when I turn it needs more clutch. So I believe that has something to do with my clutch not getting the torque it needs and causes it to smoke. solution?
@MrZeo7 its possible, you would have to have it welding on, but getting it perfectly centered might be kind of hard, but yes it is possible. thanks for watching
I think this one came from NAPA a long time ago, but online I recommend tulsa engine warehouse or MFG supply those are great places to deal with, i mainly deal with tulsa. thanks for watching!
@pretzel1253 nothing. its just easier than setting up a actual manual clutch like in a vehicle. If you ask me, if it does anything it hurts performance because they slip very easily, especially if you drive a go kart / mini bike in grass. i plan to belt drive my racing lawn mower and possibly go cart with a twist and pull style clutch setup. thanks for watching
clutch comes apart into 2 pieces got the first part on but when i put the cover part on (the one eith the teeth) it doesnt stay on? so when i start up the engine its gunna spin the first part thats on the engine but not the teeth to spin the chain???
i went on harbor freights site, and the manual for it says its 5/16" - 24 threads per inch, I figured it would be metric too, it doesn't say how long but i'd say no longer than 3/4". hope this helps, thanks for watching!!!
@seelder4 well then just try to get the keyway on far enough so the screw clamps it, it shouldn't matter if its shorter, but it would be more apt to shear though. I'd recommend buying a longer key, it'd be better to have one that is too long than not long enough. no problem
you would need a 3/4" bore clutch. only other variant would be the chain size, and that depends on your mini bike or go kart, what ever your working on, the standard size is 35. I recomend max torq brand clutches. thanks for watching!!!
thats rare, out of curiosity what brand is the motor? I would think the 2 set screws would hold it in place, i can't guarantee it though, and i would put loctite on them in that case just so they wouldn't work loose. thats really abotu the only choice you would have, unless you tour the motor down and took the crankshart to a machine shop and had it drilled/tapped. Thanks for watching!!!
So I don't have to slide it all the way if I do it won't lign up with he bottom sprocket ...since IAM here how will a 10 tooth clutch work on a 28 thoot sprocket that's already on my axel
@briggsfixer2 any bolt that will fit it, theres not much stress on it because its just keeping the clutch from sliding off. so yeah just any ole bolt will work lol
@HyeJroc yes and no. they work the same, it depends on the make. i have a homelite electric start weedeater, all the clutch is 2 metal disc like pads shaped like 2 C's back to back and it's metal agaist metal on the clutch drum, which sucks! some of them may be just like this not really sure. i hate workin on weedeaters LOL
@fnaguitarplayer9 also, if your engine is to much horsepower for the clutch, it could be overworking the clutch, the horsepower has to match up on engine and clutch.
To make sure you get the exact one you need take your engine to one of the bigger napa parts stores. One where they have two stories for example that have thousands upon thousands of parts in it. Then tell them you need a keyway that fits the taper, then you should be good.
possibly, you may have to file it or cut it shorter if its to long like the i used in this video. but don't over file it, you don't want it fitting loose, or it can rock back and forth and mess up the slots on the clutch or crank. thanks for watching!!!

Finally! Been looking around for a centrifugal clutch and this helps! I've been restoring a go kart and I just got a Predator 212cc.

Thanks for the info. your video albeit for a kart has helped me with replacing an engine on a lawn spiker which has the pulley system.
Simon Bolton Your welcome! Thanks for Watching!!!
it can, but on this one it was really tight and i was trying to make the video as short as possible, you can work with it and get all the way over if you need it. thanks for watching!!!
you can use a 3 jaw puller (get it from auto parts stores like advance or auto zone, or even harbor freight) to get it off. Thanks for Watching!!!
sounds like the spring(s) may have broke or came loose, or it may have a bad bearing, seems odd though with a new clutch. thanks for watching!!!
sometimes they will get stuck on the shaft, you will have to use a puller on it. thanks for watching!!!
Thanks man, simple straight to the point, idk where these other people are getting these fancy nice naks an crap for the clutch I'm not lookin for allat, just this,
not to argue, but, if you don't use the 2 set screws the clutch can move on the crank, the only purpose of them is to keep it in place.

working on an old 70's Sears mini bike, this was helpfull. thank you
@siopa6289 you can get them at just about any hardware store, or even at lowes, they usually have them. thanks for watching!
@MyNoah23 haha well i guess it just depends, you could try lightly sanding on the sides of the keyway to get it to go in easier. thanks for watching!
you usually have to use a puller to get them off, they can be a pain. thanks for watching!!!
thanks! Yes they do sale belt drive centrifugal clutches, look online, tulsa engine warehouse sales them. I think a pulley/belt set up would be easier to do, maybe not as durable since belts wear faster than chains. only problem with welding one is, it is almost if not impossible to get it centered without a wobble, unless you have a lathe or milling machine to do it accurately on. thanks for watching!!!
I haven't seen one yet that doesn't, unless its been cut off. you can use a shaft collar instead, it would serve the same purpose. thanks for watching!!!
heard that, i'll have to check that place out! I usually get all my parts (mainly lawn mower parts) from tulsa engine warehouse. thanks for watching!

i hear ya! great bikes. i got a older one not sure what brand or exactly how old but i hope to build it next summer. thanks for watching!!!
thanks, yeah these china engines uses a 5/16-24 thread bolt, it does vary on some engines, i can't remember what briggs is, might be the same thing. (its actually called a crankshaft) Thanks for watching!!!
How did that keyway go in the crankshaft so easy? I had to take a pair of pliers to get mine in!
don't do it! Several reasons, first of all you will ruin the crankshaft and will never be able to tear the engine down unless you cut the shaft. and it would be impossible to start it safely, and to stop, it would always be moving. So yeah, i don't recommend doing that! you can get a clutch for about 27 bucks at tulsa engine warehouse, there good too! hope this helps, thanks for watching!!!
my 3/4 shaft is 1"1/2 long and my clutch is 2".. is there anything i can do to make it work? the bolt is too short now.
WHAT WAS THE SIZE, OF THAT BOLT , YOU USED IN THE CRANK SHAFT, TO HOLD THE CLUTCH DOWN???
@seelder no problem glad to help. Thanks, appreciate it. I got some videos i'm gonna be uploading in the next few days.
@AussieBass96 if your talking about the engines that have a taper shaft? most people switch out crankshafts for one with a regular end on it. thanks for watching.
Does centrifugal clutch work like a freewheel in a bicycle? When you stop pedaling, the bicycle rolls away in neutral?
Ok so i just got a clutch similar but i had lost that little metal piece is that a bad thing and can you please explain
The key that goes in the keyway, yes you will need that. Thanks for Watching!!!
@blakegorman69 i know. thats the only keyway i had at the time, and i never used this for anything, just for this video. If i was going to actually set up for a go cart or mini bike, i'd do it right. thanks for watching
old video but the key for the clutch i already have installed with my new one so how do i take out an old one
Hey i put on My billet flywheel and clutch but when i put my chain on and its time to start it wont right and the pull start pulls the clutch forward
I am building a mini bike and this video was very helpful thanks
Glad to help out, your welcome! Thanks for Watching!!!
@seelder4 yes it can be a problem, if the keyway is not the right size it will not lock on the shaft and could slip and score / scratch the crankshaft. I always try to respond ASAP.

@hanssLA well kind of hard to answer, you can't go by the number of teeth, thats the same as diameter of a pulley, it don't matter. if your working on a mini bike then its usually a #35 or #41 same for a go kart. you can take the clutch or sprocket to a place that sales chain and they can tell you what you have for sure. i hope you understand, if i had in my hand i could probaly tell you what it is, even you had a picture or video it still wouldn't help. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
couldn't say. I'm not familiar with that. it would have to have a shaft with a keyway. thanks for watching!!!
@taboo243 and also like i said, make sure your rear axle turns freely, bearings don't last forever, and sometimes the rear axle will start to seize up. no problem, glad to help!
Can you please put a link to this clutch in the description so I can get one, I have a hard time finding that type on amazon
Just type in max torx centrifugal clutch, with the correct chain size and shaft (bore) size listed. thanks for watching!!!
Great video! Thanks for posting it.
@Abven9 not all are the same, 3/4" is the standard for briggs and tecumseh engines around 5 horse power, just depends, some smaller engine use 5/8" shaft, bigger ones go up to 1 1/4 on riding mower engines.

@anthony102010 no. its pull start. the bigger engines (11 and 13 horse) from HF are electric start and pull start. thanks for watching
the model type and code is on the flywheel shroud usually on the front over top of where the spark plug is, or there is a metal tag on it.
@f00bert24 usually when they smoke the clutch is slipping, and what usually causes that is running in grass or oil getting on the pads and making it slip, or a stiff/seized up rear axle. Also another thing the engine could be to much horsepower for the clutch, the rating has to match up. hope this helps, thanks for watching.
I am using a predator 212 engine on my mini bike but do not have the key way. Where can i buy one that fits my engine.
Jose Gonzalez basically any auto parts place
This is exactly what i needed thank you so much

PLEASE REPOND
Why is it sitting so far out? Did they not include a shorter key way?
@p71280 thanks. makes sense, never thought of that. will do that once i set it up. thanks and thanks for watching
i don't know, might work, but make sure the tank is below the carburetor or else the gas will just overflow into the carburetor through the jets. i would try to modify the frame somehow to fit, if thats possible. If not you might be able to find a smaller tank.
hello, I have a 12T clutch that i use on a briggs & stratton 3hp, how many teeth should I have on the axle?
My clutch is smoking. It has some play in it. Is that the reason
I don't really know what would be causing it but one way that should work to fix is it use some blue loctite on it, that stuff will keep anything from working loose! I can't really think of anything that would cause that unless the keyway or keyway slot is worn some and there is some slop in it, making it work loose. Thanks for Watching!
Your now my favorite RUclipsr
Would that work on a 79 cc Predator?
If it does please paste me a link where to purchase it, please.
can't help how i talk haha thanks for watching!!!
With this technique installation is it still required to have a Radius wash in between the clutch and engine on the shaft?
I never have, i've always locked them down with the set screws and bolt on the crank and never had any problems. Thanks for Watching!!!
That engine looks like a clone to a Kohler! I'm getting a 6.5 hp Kohler for my go-kart. It has the same size crankshaft and max rpm as a 5 hp engine. After 5 years, I wore the original engine out on my go-kart. It was a 5 hp Tecumseh.
I can't right now, i don't have one, I've never done much with 4 wheelers/ 3 wheelers. if i ever do i'll make a video! thanks for watching!!!
@fnaguitarplayer9 and just so you know, the engine in this video (Greyhound) uses a 5/16-24 as well. And this engine has a 3/4" crankshaft, which is the same as a briggs.

Need this for my greyhound
Cool I was watching video after video to see how & what I needed to put the clutch on it was off when I got the bike I can fix it now :)
@EMFGANGSGV ok. standard keyway size is 3/16". you can find them at any hardware store or at lowes.
I think this one came from NAPA a long time ago, but online I recommend tulsa engine warehouse or MFG supply those are great places to deal with, i mainly deal with tulsa. thanks for watching!

Its better closer to the housing if possible but it will work towards the end if needed. Thanks for Watching!!!
you would need a 3/4" bore clutch. only other variant would be the chain size, and that depends on your mini bike or go kart, what ever your working on, the standard size is 35. I recomend max torq brand clutches. thanks for watching!!!
@chrisoneil237 there should be a snap ring that holds it on, but did you buy a new clutch that was apart?
hey man could you send me the link where you got this. i need one without the keyway and i cant find one
What if the shaft doesn't have a hole for a bolt to thread into? How do I keep the clutch on then?
thats rare, out of curiosity what brand is the motor? I would think the 2 set screws would hold it in place, i can't guarantee it though, and i would put loctite on them in that case just so they wouldn't work loose. thats really abotu the only choice you would have, unless you tour the motor down and took the crankshart to a machine shop and had it drilled/tapped. Thanks for watching!!!
No problem man, and just for the kindness and fast reply I'm sub. to you, thanks again bud!
So I don't have to slide it all the way if I do it won't lign up with he bottom sprocket ...since IAM here how will a 10 tooth clutch work on a 28 thoot sprocket that's already on my axel
Yeah thats fine, just make sure to lock to the 2 set screws down. Thanks for Watching!!!
@briggsfixer2 any bolt that will fit it, theres not much stress on it because its just keeping the clutch from sliding off. so yeah just any ole bolt will work lol
@HyeJroc yes and no. they work the same, it depends on the make. i have a homelite electric start weedeater, all the clutch is 2 metal disc like pads shaped like 2 C's back to back and it's metal agaist metal on the clutch drum, which sucks! some of them may be just like this not really sure. i hate workin on weedeaters LOL
@fnaguitarplayer9 also, if your engine is to much horsepower for the clutch, it could be overworking the clutch, the horsepower has to match up on engine and clutch.
To make sure you get the exact one you need take your engine to one of the bigger napa parts stores. One where they have two stories for example that have thousands upon thousands of parts in it. Then tell them you need a keyway that fits the taper, then you should be good.
