    centrifugal clutch

    yeah you nailed it.....too darn heavy for clutch, particularly if the motor is over 3 hp. You need a torque converter. 30 series will do up to about 8 hp. Over that you need a 40 series / the chinese ones on amazon are pretty good for the price, but DON"T.......DON'T run a Chinese belt on...

    I am new to karting and would like to keep the cost of my first kart low and see if I want to get into the hobby.
