hello were is the clutch located on a tkm 100cc kart because its set up for a track and need it to be set up so you dont have to push it to get it started thanx

 

[Russ2251]

May not have a clutch to locate. Got a pic of PTO?

 

[modelengineer]

If it's currently push start, then chances are it doesn't have a clutch.

 

[Russ2251]

then chances are it doesn't have a clutch.

Rrrrrrepeat

 

[matty10]

just tried to turn over the engine with a air gun 100psi and wont even turn it over what happenes if i push it to get it started and then ajust the tickover so it crals insted of stop soon as you let your foot of the accelelorator will it keep running if i ajust the tickover so it crawls >? ??

 

[fowler]

Once it is started can it stop and keep the engine running

if so it has a clutch if not it is clutchless

 

[matty10]

once it's started soon as you let off the accelorator it stops it will not keep running thats y im thinkin turnin up the tickover screw so it crawls and you have to push it to start it like its in gear :/ 100cc tkm im puzzled m8

 

[devino246]

Tickover screw? you mean the idle screw? What you really need is a clutch.

 

[matty10]

what so it will not keep runnig if i turn up the idle screw ?? if the idle screw is turned up to a pace so it crawls bout 3mph cud i try it so you dont need to push it every time you stop ?? it may of been set up for a track so you only have to stop when you finish

 

[devino246]

Turning the idle speed up wont do anything but make it move faster.

 

[matty10]

yes but may that not make it stop as soon as you let off the accelorator ??

 

[matty10]

were is the idle screw on a tkm engine there are 2 is it the 1 to the bak wheels or the screw closest to the to the front wheels

 

[fowler]

no u cant change the engine in any way because the wheels are directly linked to the wheels so when the wheels stop turning (when u stop moving) the engine must stop as well

wat u want is a centrifugal clutch so wen the engine revs drop the clutch disengages automatically and the wheels are no longer linked to the engine

wen u rev the engine the clutch rengages automatically

 

[matty10]

u no were i can get 1 from ??? on internet i have uploaded some pics of the go kart on my profile tell me what you think thanx m8 matty

 

[Russ2251]

Can you get a pic of PTO?

 

[matty10]

[r_chez_08]

[Russ2251]

Refers to end of crankshaft (on engine). Supplies power to rear axle.

 

[fowler]
