Plan on running a centrifugal clutch/sprocket. Can I run the clutch partway down the shaft???
Snowblower engine shaft too long???

you can position the clutch anywhere on the shaft.
If you are struggling with how to HOLD it in place, just use spacers. Some clutches have a little set screw but some have complained that that isn't enough.
A bolt goes into the shaft on the end with a washer that holds the clutch/spacer(s) in place.
You can get some 3/4 or 5/8" pipe and cut it to size for the spacers (depending on engine shaft size).
