clutch problems

[nissinator]

i recently took off my clutch witch was a pain the when i finally go it off i cleaned it an when putting it back on i cross threaded the bolt so i have a broken bolt in the crankshaft an have no way for the clutch to stay so i was wondering can i take a spall sproket an attach to crankshaft. so when i start it, it will automatically start moving at low speed so i can get it on an when i rev it , it goes faster an thus making it the only i can stop its to shut down the engine , but when take foot off pedal it moves at real low speed so as soon as it starts it dont take off????

Is the bolt still in the crankshaft? Or is it just part of the bolt

Direct drive?
Can be done but must be push started.
Not easy to do by yourself.

Get a clutch that uses set-screws to stay on rather than a bolt.

I assure you it can be extracted and the threads can be chased by a professional.

Best bet. The bolt on clutches can produce chain alignment probs in some cases.
I rather adjust the clutch (inboard/outboard) than drill new engine mount bolt holes.
