Hi guys, I signed up here to get some help with a centrifugal clutch. Looks very similar to thee mini bike clutches other than it has heard instead of teeth.

It is a 3/4" bore 4.25" clutch, steel pad and used with atf-f (ford) auto trans fluid in a reduction gearbox in a 1988 made 2person auger. Engine is a Tecumseh formula 8horse, tvm-195 and no load rpm is 3900.

The springs are very weak and clutch is engaged at idle, originally white. I am looking for replacement springs, I could use a whole clutch if the pads were okay with being splash lubricated, the drum is in great shape.

There are several different types, I think if it fit into the drum it would work, as long as pads works wet.

I see some clutches with one big Spring all around and some with 2 or 3 pads, any of them better than other?

Thanks in advance, Norbert

Interesting.

I'm looking at the maxtorque clutches, they have 6 pads and only 3 connect to the housing to transfer power. Worried that 8horses might flatten those tabs. Seems a lot lighter duty than mine, I wonder if maybe mine is overkill from a different age, it was a machine built for the abuse of rental equipment.
