Help with clutch after crankshaft replacement on predator 212

[GEEFYVEN9NE]

I replaceded my crankshaft on my predator 212 with another predator 212 and i thought the crankshaft was supposed to be the same size but no clutches i have fit but they fit on my other crankshaft i bought one that was another size down how would i keep my clutch on?

Are your crankshafts rusty? Rust enlarges the outside diameter FYI, and the inside diameter of the bore of a clutch. Ensure that your clutches are 3/4”.

Got photos?

Measure the crankshaft diameter so we have a clue what you are talking about. Sounds like you got a 5/8" or metric crank and not the 3/4" (.750) you thought you were buying. Where did you buy it from is another question? See if the bolt you had holding on the clutch before fits the new crankshaft you have which could give you a clue if it is possibly metric .

the second picture is the what was a 3/4 clutch that fit on my other crankshaft but has all thag wiggle room in the middle and the second clutch (the better looking one) i just forced on it went on but i had to hammer it in so could that one work lmao

You need to have more patience and do things proper or youre going to end up injured.

I would question the integrity of anything that required hammering to the point of not even taking the chance of using it.

Be careful man. Stuff spins REALLY fast.

the bolt fits, the crank came from another 212 the cranks got a little chip in it at the end but that shouldnt have all of that room the clutches i have are 3/4 and a 5/8 one the 5/8 is too small and the 3/4 one is just a little bit too big

If that's the best of the 2 crankshafts, I'd hate to see the 1st one. Why are there 2 keyways in this "new" one?
