Eh?.... Ok lets say my engine runs at 3000 rpm , with the 6-1 box it kicks out 500 on the shaft. The shaft has a 59 tooth sprocket which runs to a 10 tooth on a jackshaft, this turns the 500 rpm into just under 3000 rpm at the jackshaft, the clutch on the jackshaft Im trying to figure out...

Ok quick bump with a new question , lol , im trying to figure out my ratios for setting up the sprockets , managed to sort my jackshaft so the 6-1 reduction on the engine is neutralized . Im wanting to run 14 inch wheels and the trike shouldn't be more than 200kg with me on it , the engine is...

Ahh great idea! And yeah it's a tention spring that's just hooked end to end ....iv ended up buying some lace curtain wire ( it's basically a big tention spring with a rubber sleave) and cut it to size , given it a quick test run and it works ok ....for now , but il definitely modify the...

Lol started a debate lol , yeah my engine has a 6-1 reduction , im working round it with some gearing on a jackshaft , but if I could lower the engagement rpm of the clutch from 2000 to say 1000 I should be ok , iv played with the engine and can get it to idle pretty slow ;-) il have to have a...

Iv got an intriguing question .... Can you lower the rpm at which the clutch engages? I have a clutch that id like to engage at a lower rpm , it has a spring that runs round the pads, don't ask me what clutch it is lol cause I haven't a clue , but I was thinking ,if I replace that spring with...

Ahh fair enough , lol iv played around with a gx160 clone in the past but never touched the internals , just the usual ,valves, degoven, head polishing, carb, exhaust, and plastic fan mods , to be honest im quite happy with the engine as standard but u know how it is .... Eventually u get the...

Lol iv tried to sell it b4 but no one wants it lol , most I could get is £50 which to be honest isn't worth selling it for that price lol , as to the gear reduction , it's part of the engine casing , with an oil feed from the crank , all that's their is the short output from crank which has a...

Oh and is that 3600 rpm with or without governor? Iv taken mine off hence the assumed 6000 :-)

I can assure you the engine has no clutch , and where could I swap it for free in the UK? (im skint lol ) And where can I get that clutch? Seen them b4 but there was never a way to get hold of one ... And I understand where ur comming from with the push bike one way sprockets but it never hurt...

Yeah it's an internal fixed reduction ( with cogs) engine off a generator , il post pics eventually , I went off the assumption that engine runs max 6000 rpm , so im putting on a jackshaft to increase the rpm for the clutch , got a 56 tooth on engine running to a 18 tooth on jackshaft, should...

Hello im sort of new , been here once b4 lol im building a drift trike , got a Honda gx 240 engine for free lol but..... It has a 6 to 1 gear reduction and a 25 mm output shaft !!.... Im gonna have to put a jack shaft with a clutch setup just to get it moving , but was wondering what ideas ppl...

Motorbike engines are sensitive to ""adjustment "" any changes to the standard exhaust will require the Carb to be fiddled with to get the engine to run smooth. So my advice would be to try and keep the exhaust as close to standard as possible. A 2 into 1system would have to be well thought out...

It will work if you set it up right, but the easiest solution would be a centrifugal clutch.

The only thing that springs to mind is either, the direction the engine is turning, is the same to the thread in the hole, or something is catching the bolt causing it to undo, is the clutch mooving freely from the shaft of the engine? Some close up pics would help too

Might even fix the problem for a short time
