The old clutch was a Comet and the new clutch is a Max Torque. Everything is the same.
The distance from the clutch shoe to the outer case is more on the Max Torque than on the Comet, something like around 1/16 inch. Would this make a difference??
No the same sprocket on the clutch and engine. No torque converter. Mostly ridden on the flat and note riding the brake or clutch.
Could the face area of the clutch pads make the difference?? It was a new clutch and a new 5hp engine the same rating as the old engine.
Hey guy's many thanks for your comments.
The clutch was not quite the same as the original. There were no holes around the face of it for what I assume is for cooling. It has the same number of teeth on the sprocket and the same number of clutch pads. By the way I meant 3 to 4 minutes.
Thanks...
Hi, My grandson has a go cart and he blew the clutch. Went down to our local dealer of engines etc and purchased a new one. Put it on but takes time to engage as you step on the gas and after only a short time out like 3/4 minutes it is VERY hot.
Can anyone advise. Many thanks in advance.:thumbsup:
