clutch question

[slammedkart]

hello everyone, im new to this forum and go karts. Im currently rebuilding my old kart. Ill post pics later.

i need to know what the best clutch would be for me.

i have a Honda gx140 absolutely stock, 60 teeth on the axle sprocket.

i have noticed that most clutches engage at around 2000rpm, does that mean that theres no contact AT ALL between Idle-2000? then should i get different springs to engage at 1000rpm?

dw about new springs, it engages good. Get a max torque 3/4", There cheap ( about 30 bucks ) and pretty good. You can also get a comet clutch but there pretty expensive but good. Depends what ur doing with it. Are u going offroad? If u are then a max torque probably wont hold up to well, if u aren't then max torque will be good. For offroading i suggest a comet.

You want the clutch to engage when your motor is making power, not power or torque at 1000 rpm.

im probably going to be riding it around the streets, backalleys, grass fields, park, so not hardcore off roading.
