    Homemade 1” clutch 10t for 40/420 chain

    Ok so I remember searching ebay for a 1” clutch that was 40/420 chain and only 10t. I could not find one or they were very expensive? I think I remember just not being able to find one at all. I noticed old Horstman clutches are 1” stepped down to 3/4 I had a 10t 40 chain clutch took it apart...

    What’s up with GPS recommending the bigger belt?

    Ok so my t/q belts are 669 and for some reason GPS says they recommend the 725 belt over 669? And a genuine comet 303589A belt I purchased seems loose on the driver more then the China 669 belt. but preforms way better then the China belt. it’s weird 303589A was being sold by OMB as a...

Now the bigger question genuine comet belts to replace the yamiege 669 belts seem cheap? Gates sells a $37 dollar premium belt. in the world of panzer...

    so on 30 series Torque converters you get a 10t 420 c-sprocket.. just like a standard 10t clutch? pick any 70’s mike bike.. So the idea is to buy the torque converter leave the rear sprocket alone and have the same exact sprocket gearing just like the clutch was but the pulleys add a sort of...

Wouldn’t it be better to fill the hub with non-flanged bearings? then press two flanged bearings on each side and have...

    The 12hp tecumseh and an idea I wasn’t sure I could even pull off in the first place.
