Ok, place your bets, will the shaft spin or not... My money's on not (if it's held)

I say it will.

If I'm correct, the gearbox looks just like this from behind:


And there is no room for a clutch, that's a simple two gears box.
Also, if it is from a cement mixer, then there's no need for a clutch

Sid, why do you say he wont need a clutch? Its my understanding that it JUST a gear reduction box and no clutch inside. Wet clutch setups are a little bigger than that thing he has.

Jim, I think you got me wrong..
On a cement mixer there is no need for a clutch,
that's why I think the gear reduction box doesn't have one inside.
Also it's too small IMHO.
And that means, to use it on a kart you'd need to buy a clutch.

So we both fully agree

I think we need a pic of the INSIDE of the reduction box

Sorry guys I haven't got that pic up for y'all yet been real busy but as soon as I get a chance I'll get it posted

No need for an inside the box pic.... Just try testing the engine as I stated earlier. I think you will find that the shaft is directly connected to the crank via gears, and no clutch. This is good, sorta, as you have a ton of torque built in already , just need to get your RPMS up now.....
