Hey thanks for the offer landuse. I have most of the parts I need to finish my project, the only problem is the clutch, I am struggling to get a centrifugal belt pulley clutch that will fit my engine shaft. I have a honda gx160

You can try www.checkmateproducts.co.za. They are in Brits. You can also try www.grogro.co.za. they are in Pretoria I think. Their prices are pretty steep. Sometimes it is cheaper shipping from the US.
Is there any reason you want to use a belt centrifugal clutch. They are not the best at transferring power compared to a chain driven one

No specific reason, this is my first try so I am open to any suggestions or guidance . I must say I have learnt a lot from the forum the last few days

I have to agree with landuse re: belt drive; IMO, you would be better off with a chain drive; sourcing an axle sprocket has to be easier than sourcing a belt pulley of the correct dimensions
It is. I haven't actually seen a pulley type cent clutch here. It is probably going to be eisier sourcing a clutch from the US IMO
