I have built a go kart frame that is around 300lbs and I have a 389cc engine. I'm looking to go both on off-roading at my cottage and on roads at home. I don't know if I should us a centrifugal clutch or a torque converter? If ether one what should I get because my budget is 300$. I also live in Ontario Canada so shipping from the US is expensive so anything from Canada would be better.

Your best bet is a Torque-a-verter from Princess Auto. Wait for a torque-a-verter to come on sale for like $275 or something, or just pay the full $350 for it ;)...

Buying online might be an option if you live far away from a Princess auto that is, Expect $10-$20 on shiping...

I live in central Ontario and there is a princess auto about 10 mins from me but I posted a question on there website if there torque converter can handle a 389cc engine and someone replied it can't but if you think it can than that's what I'll get but I don't want to get it then have it break

What's the size of your engine shaft? What engine to is this atv, snowmobile, industrial 4-stroke?

Edit: forgot PA only sells Torque Converters up to 300 Hp sorry... Error 300cc :D

There's a kart shop somewhere in Ontario, Kart Works and they sell torque converters for your cc range... You'll have to pay some $600 for one tho so it might not be worth it?? http://www.kartworks.ca/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=157_247

So now we start talking about a clutch :D
Wait a day when more people besides me are here, Sunday's are slow ;)

It's an engine from princess auto 389cc Ohv with electric start. Has a 1" bore.
Looked at the kart works and that's a little out of my price rage but thanks
What clutch would I need to support the big engine for a little off-roading possibly?
