Sure. I'll try this out and post the video if I need to take the clutch apart again. I'm unsure when it will be though because the kart is a good bit away and time is sparse. Should be pretty interesting to see it though.

I took the thing apart and didn't have a clear idea of the mechanism for at good while. I've never worked on a reduction box before. From what I can see the weights are correctly mounted according to pictures from the internet. They do however have a bit of play before the long edge presses...

Hi Guys. I hope somebody with more experience can help med out with a clutch problem I'm having. I bought an offroad gokart. It has a Honda GX360 watercooled engine with 13hp. It seems to be ungoverned. Wheels are 18 inches. The problem is the clutch gets hot very fast. In fact so hot, I'l...
