Gear ratio with a Centrifugal clutch

[Woahgoesdeep]

Wondering if a low enough gear ration will keep a centrifugal clutch from burning up. A TC is not feasible on this set up/frame.

18 inch tires
84T axle sprocket
301cc Predator

and I'm thinking of getting a clutch with 10T

giving me a gear ratio of 8.4/1(I believe)

is this too low? or to high? is my understanding that a lower gear ration will keep the clutch from burning?

I realize the top end will be slow, but that's perfectly ok for what I'm doing

That will smoke the clutch in about 15 seconds!

Didn't know that you could get a 10 tooth on a 1" shaft clutch . I would figure out a way to make a TC work.
