Jb weld on clutch

[Nissinator1996]

I broke bolt in crank so I was thinking of uding jb weld to hold it one....its a comet 30

 

[B man]

god no! just extract the bolt. you never want to use jb weld to hold anything on that spins at high rpm

 

[Nissinator1996]

I cant extract the bolt its stuck way in there with a drill bit broken in it

 

[Jake.B]

Sounds like your into a new crankshaft.

Its not that hard Lol.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Did we not explore this issue in another thread? Sounds familiar...

 

[r_chez_08]

Yeah why not... Lol.
Not the best of ideas. You want to extract that bolt.

If you ran a centrifugal clutch with a set screw you wouldnt need those threads.

 

[crazyman]

In that situation I would run a set bolt.

Why not make a guard for the clutch with a tab or plate on the end to hold the clutch on the shaft in case it may drift off. Bolt it to the holes right next to the crank.

Unless Im missing something, why is it all that necessary to have that bolt in the shaft if there is enough tension on the chain, the clutch will float on the shaft and stay being held by the chain?

its belt...

I have never had any luck with jb weld on anything, i dont see it holding up to the rpm either.

 

[Jake.B]

Yeah as mentioned above purchase a clutch with set screws
