EASY! How To Fix a 'Stuck' Centrifugal Clutch

[@garryludwick2990]

Thanks dude. I'm 68 and never rebuilt one before. You taught me a LOT . Great job!!!!

[@saidlara720]

love to see the humility

[@darrenmortensen9582]

Thank you! Been repairing and upgrading a used go kart with Predator 212 to make it as safe and dependable as possible. Clutch would make hideous noises from time to time and finally was seized and causing the go kart to drive off or die at idle. I followed your video directions, and so far everything is working better than ever. The idle has improved immensely, no hideous noises, no chain noises and go kart runs faster than before. I was a mechanic many years ago, but never worked on small engines. I was confused on what brand clutch to buy, but after seeing your video I thought maybe the clutch is salvageable… and it was! I realize you had ALREADY fixed your issue, but took the time to go back and video your solution. Above and beyond for the rest of us!

[@TheFeesher]

Thank you! That’s awesome I’m glad it got yours working! I was also in the same situation where I was struggling with deciding on a new clutch so I just went out on a limb and tried to fix this one lol

[@olevermontplowboys5574]

I see you're getting some mixed comments on what was right / wrong on this - and I still want to thank you for showing me how to assemble and dissemble the clutch and helping me understand how it all works! When I was your age I had built several go-karts and if clutch came apart, I had to go get a new one! hahaha! Now I'm 50 and playing with a tow behind mower with a centrifugal clutch and I'm going to to be taking it apart cause it's whistling .. wish me luck buddy! Keep on Wrenching and learning all you can! :D

[@ZogReturns]

I work as a go kart mechanic, & this is NOT what you should do. That grease is what's causing your overheating of your clutch shoes. You should never put any grease on the shoes at all, because the heat or centrifugal force of the clutch spinning will always let some grease get in between the shoes & the drum, causing slipping, resulting in your overheating of your clutch. The only thing you should be greasing or lubricating is the bearing or bushing. If your clutch is "grabbing", check the bushing or bearing, if it isn't that, your spring on the clutch shoes is stretched & needs replacing. They are both really cheap items, so it's all you really need to replace/service to keep it running.

[@TheFeesher]

+glasgowghost21 I would have to agree for the most part. I made this to show people how they can get their go cart moving if their clutch sticks. Of course the best option is new parts, but it's hard to beat a fix that is practically free.

[@TheFeesher]

+glasgowghost21 also the grease did not cause my over heating.. there was no grease before I applied it and it had obviously overheated.

[@jermalramsey1567]

need your input

[@TheFeesher]

+Jermal Ramsey ask away!

[@samsfingerstyle3200]

my clutch is making a really load knocking / dinging noise and the clutch is brand new, whats causing the loud dings?

[@caseynewland2614]

that was sick, quick easy run through of what to do, and now my mini bike is running new! thanks dude, even though it wasnt very complicated, im just a pussy about springs, so i wanted to see how it really worked before i tore mine apart. my problem was, immediately after starting my bike, the clutch would engage and the bike would take off, or stall it. I didnt go for a ride but seeing the bike idle and not running away from me puts a smile on my face, after the grease. your the man for helping us cheapo's get every little bit out of our stuff, keep it up man!

[@TheFeesher]

+Casey Newland I myself am a cheapo lol so I'm glad to be able to help others keep having fun while also saving money!

[@ShortBusHereOs]

god bless folks

[@nicholasquintero1080]

Casey Newland u don't need snap ring pliers if you don't mind struggling with it. Just use something with a pick end and pry it apart. I didn't want to take off the inner snap ring. I was still able to lube it without taking the clutch shoes out. Just take it apart up to that point and degrease it. Then only lubricate the shaft housing within the clutch. Avoid getting any lube where the shoes make contact with the outer clutch housing.

[@TechMechRandom]

This helped me out with putting mine back together. I was missing two of those pucks.

[@samhitchen4368]

Thanks man, I’m doing a college assignment on different types of clutch and this video helped me out a lot.

[@TheFeesher]

That’s my favorite reasoning for this video helping so far! Good luck on the assignment!

[@bigsmiler5101]

Seriously, I like these types of videos Best if the creator has some common things go wrong--the things WE may face. Around the 9:30 point, a clutch might have fallen out. SHOW us how you dealt with that. What kind of errors might we make that aren't obvious? BUT this is the best repair video I've seen.

[@davidkaul6487]

I own a predator 79cc motorized bicycle my clutch seized up went to Google Google showed ur video.wow it's back to pulling wheelies. 11 tooth clutch 22tooth gear reduction 10 tooth shaft gear 50tooth sprocket on 28 inch mag wheel. Does 5600rpm with zip tie on governor about 50mph all day 68 hours on motor that I pull a 100 lb trailer with clutch always made noise now it freaking runs better than new sharing ur video with all my 79cc friends

[@TheFeesher]

Thanks man! I appreciate the love and glad I was able to help you get it running like a champ again!

[@COLDWARCLASSICS]

Ok guys Once the big spring that pulls the clutch pucks in fatuiges its time for a new clutch .. as the rpm spins up the pucks move outward thus engaging the outer bell then you have foward movement .. .. when the sping is at its end of its life it will no longer have the tension to pull the shoes /pucks back it therefore disengaging the clutch .

[@chrisrice7025]

thanks man saved me a headache i got a go kart in parts from a friend she said if i fix its mine im a noob to this go kart stuff your video is what i needed. i subed and liked.

[@brianc7745]

I just so happen to talk to the owner of Max-torque today. Super cool old geezer, who's daughter still runs that company. Regarding your suggestion to use high-temp grease on so many spots, he says: "That's the kind of customer I like. They burn up their clutch and have to buy another one." Apparently, a dab-will-do-ya. And just 30w oil on the bushing. It sucks it up into the most-needed area.

[@TheFeesher]

Sounds like he knows what he’s doing!

[@eaglelandedjupiter]

helps me out a lot my clutch squeak locked up I live on a hill 79cc 4-stroke engine

[@RoboRichie87]

Great video man! Just bought my nephew a used cart and noticed it took off like a bat out of hell once I started it....I was going to buy a new clutch but so much more fun to do it this way!

[@TheFeesher]

+RoboRichie87 thanks! I hope this solves your problem!

[@phanhsalmon8100]

Thank you. Very helpful video. Just what i needed. Appreciate it.

[@Deucealive75]

This is interesting. At the 2:34 point in the video you are holding the clutch drum. What is the bushing made of on the inner surface, brass? I just bought a new mini bike. I have it torn down to prep it before it is ridden. On inspection of the clutch assembly I found that they are using a caged bearing on the inner surface I asked you about. Sure it felt oily, but a bearing of that style needs high temp wheel bearing grease, not oil! On the reviews for the bike (Coleman CT200U) everyone is complaining about clutch noise and it needing service not long into the first ride. It's no wonder. A little bit of oil on that bearing will not last very long and there is the possibility of ruining that caged bearing if the problem is not addressed in time. IMO you are right on the money in this video with the proper and careful use of grease for this application.

[@TheFeesher]

+Deucealive75 thank you! And yes that is a brass bushing, mine hasn't wore out but I've heard that they wear out fairly quickly. That being said I'd think a caged bearing would be the right way to make one last, but it certainly needs to be able to withstand the temps the clutch sees during regular use. Maybe they went cheap on the bearing type lol I've been to hardware stores and seen brass inserts that could possibly replace a caged set up but that would be another video entirely lol I usually apply some lubricant directly on the inside of the bushing when I run it, but doing something like this with a caged may not work as well I'd be curious to see what can be done to quite it down.

[@Deucealive75]

Ok. If I was cleaning a clutch with a brass bushing in there I would clean both mating surfaces as clean as possible. Then oil the brass bearing, then wipe all that from the bearing and run both of those surfaces dry. Years ago I serviced cash sorting machines that used a similar setup with a brass bearing. I tried everything and running it dry worked the best. Least amount of wear and ran cleaner. The biggest problem with lubricants is that they can be quite a dirt magnet.

[@TheFeesher]

+Deucealive75 in the case of brass bushings you may know better than me, I just slather some grease on the inside of of the bushing. I tried some drops of engine oil (as I've heard used by others) and it got slung on my shoulder, caliper grease definitely did a better job of staying in the bushing. I almost wonder how well graphite lubricant would work

[@TheFeesher]

+Deucealive75 agreed on the dirt magnet statement

[@TheFeesher]

+Josh Smith good advice!

[@matttodd2009]

Cool video man.. Help slot not only the grease idea but couldn't remember the order the clutch went back together on my kart... Thanks man

Hey that bit on the shaft under the clutch can that come off?

[@themagicloaf8327]

So my go kart was running fine 3 months ago when I started it, it would idel normally but I tried to use it and start it and it will take off every single time. It keeps running. Is it the clutch whats the possible issue?

[@Austinbryan72]

My go kart when I start it takes off before I’m even on it and idles super fast I messed with the idler screw above the carb but I didn’t help could it be the clutch or carb?

[@adminauthor3050]

I had to hold it w a vice and lock jaws for the spring and even that took over an hour. The clutch still didn't function properly. I should have just bit the big one and put a comet torque converter on it. Live & learn

[@dillonkeast4574]

I have a coleman ct200 and it has no idle, every time it starts it goes and has not "idle" per se. I have tried tuning the carburetor so less gas would go in and it did not fix the issue merely took away my throttle control. I am hoping it is just a clutch issue but I wanted to know your thoughts.

[@TheFeesher]

I would assume clutch if you cannot get it to idle low enough to not engage the clutch

[@baldrickscunningplan6154]

Grease melts when clutch gets hot. Should only be greasing the bearing.

[@TheFeesher]

What kind of engine do you have? Idle RPM may be too high. I also considered drilling out material on the clutches to reduce their mass

[@gt20modding88]

Clutch spring needs to be shorter 2 links heat it up bend a new connection, then connect and bend out the kinks to a perfect circle,then reinstall

My clutch is brand new.. and its slipping... if I get on the road.. it starts to pic up speed... but in the grass.. it does not wanna move at all.. I'm not sure what I need to do

[@Earlybirdgarage]

my friend and I just took the go cart out I got recently and smoked the clutch. now whenever the clutch engages it stalls out completely. i have a hillard clutch and the bushing is cracked! i dont know if it was always like this when I drove. it has several hours since I got it. I considering just getting a whole new clutch but I wanted a second opinion

[@TheFeesher]

+Jeffrey Early you may be able to try this, I would replace the bushing for sure though. But if you cans find a decent clutch at a decent price go that route

[@Here-2-Learn]

What grit sand paper is best?

[@BenWilliams7]

Hi. Regarding the center bolt that holds the clutch onto the shaft, what direction does it come off (clockwise or counter-clock)?

[@TheFeesher]

It should come off counterclockwise

[@zackeryswinsburg9226]

Okay so my go kart cut off on me and when i try cutting it on it will slightly move forward and cut right out but if i hold the back wheels in the air they will spin but as soon as they touch the ground it will cut out

[@TheFeesher]

+Zackery Swinsburg your clutch seized up or idle is too high

[@marcs4091]

Yeah those clutches are high maintenance, i just use 3 in one oil and a little bit of CRC white lithium grease on the shaft. I put them back together completely dry just because it's easier to I get them back together that way.

[@peacemaker3171]

So I bought a clutch and when I was putting it on I used a mallet for the last part because it wouldn't fit all the way now the outer drum doesn't spin freely from the rest like it's has when I first got it and now I can't get it off any ideas why?

[@adminauthor3050]

You didn't mention much about the spring. I have a clutch just like it and I took the spring off rather than the inner snap ring. That was a mistake. impossible to get weights back on correctly. Is there a tool or trick to get the spring back on?

[@TheFeesher]

+jim watkins you're going to have to take off that inner snap ring

[@TheFeesher]

+jim watkins I have enough trouble while the inner snap ring is off, I couldn't imagine with it on

[@lowenbraus1]

[@TheFeesher]

+Gareth that is a pretty good idea too!

Is the bolt on the end that holds the clutch in supposed to spin when the engine is idling?

I actually need some help. I have a vintage margay racing kart. It runs fine no issues only problem is when it idles the wheels spin like crazy like im giving it half throttle.

[@brandonjay5146]

Is that the technical term the fronts of the clutches and in between the clutches lol

[@guppoe35]

Gave it a try and it squeals more now and still pulls. Could it be the chain to tight or the idle speed?

[@TheFeesher]

+Micheal Caughey I don't think so, come clutches are just done. The squeal is interesting though I wonder why that would happen. I would definitely look at idle speed though, I had to set mine as well

[@guppoe35]

The Feesher I just got the mini bike so luckily Colemans warranty will replace the clutch if that's the case. If it's fixable though I'll give that a shot

Instead of adding grease polish the plates the cluches glide on you never want grease contamination flinging up to the bell it will slip and overheat and burn your cluth a dry clutch is better just clean pads and polish sidewalls to a mirror finish

[@justinremund2718]

[@b0lt826]

i thought that you were not supposed to put grease on the clutch so it wont slide?

[@TheFeesher]

You don't put grease on the actual clutching surfaces

[@MowersNBlowers]

Or you could have just sprayed some PB blaster penetrating oil into the springs of the clutch. 15 secs.

[@TheFeesher]

And then fry the drum and pucks when it slips and burns everything up, I already tried it.

[@yadiel1231]

Okay now i another problem because i have a different mini bike now. The clutch is literally grinding . Like when im idling i can she little pieces of metal like if i were grinding something with a grinder just no sparks.

[@TheFeesher]

+Yadiel Santana how does the clutch go on to the crankshaft? Mine just has a set screw that if it were loose I could imagine making a a grinding. The only real contact points on a centrifugal clutch that would make a grinding are the clutch pucks against the drum and the clutch collar/set screw (however it connects to the crankshaft) against the crankshaft. One thing that may help is that where there is grinding there will be heat so use a laser thermometer and start seeing what is most hot

[@TheFeesher]

Yadiel Santana I would not recommend this. Grease could get on the drum surface and possibly ruin the clutch. What kind of noise is it making?

[@yadiel1231]

The Feesher its like a grinding noise and thank you very much for replying. I appreciate it

[@TheFeesher]

Faded Grizzly I image that the noise will subside with use. If not, take it apart and grease is. But just like most other new parts there is usually a break-in period that must be gotten through before the part will work as designed.

[@Johkah]

Bc of what you said at the end...let me entice you to answer my questions by telling you that if you answer my questions you might be the reason my go kart runs again

[@TheFeesher]

Bryan Estep fire away!

[@Johkah]

The Feesher I've been building an awesome, to me atleast, go kart for 3 months now. AND TODAY I GOT IT FINISHED. I even went to my local fastenal, bolts and stuff store, to get some last minute washers and nuts and the freaking general manager gave them to me for free. Said it was because i'm in there so much but i thinks its that and i told him i was so near finished lol. So even after that i went to ride my kart AND...Nothing. It started up, i buckled up, i pressed the pedal... and it just revved. It was only a little down slope so it went slow with the engine helping even at full throttle. On flat land and me off it and slamming the pedal it goes the same speed but if i get on it it just revs. I checked the brake and the brake isnt interfering and the throttle works perfect. no snags and it pulls the silver lever all the way even with the pedal being kinda stiff because i have to use three springs. When i slam the pedal the inside of the clutch spins but the outside doesnt. I can even roll the axle with just my hand. Is my clutch not engaging? I've only had it for 6 or less months. I even rode it on the 29th of Oct because i had to mock it up before i painted it. It ran perfect. SO WHATS THE DEAL!!!! Ugh im so annoyed. And it doesnt help that now my engine wont start. I think the oil level detector thinks its always out of oil even tho its full. Maybe once i get the kill switch wired it will work... Maybe its the spark even. Idk. Its on warranty so idc that much even tho i'll have to wait longer... But the big issue is the clutch. That is like 40-65 bucks and i am broke bc of this kart. If it cant be repaired if its broke then i'll have to wait a good long while for a new one.

[@TheFeesher]

Bryan Estep are you sure the clutches are expanding to engage? They may be seized or something, if it revs fully and the clutch isn't moving the wheels, the only thing I can think of is a failed clutch or that the crankshaft is not tightened filly to the center of the clutch using a set screw or cotter key

[@Johkah]

The Feesher The inner part is moving even at idle but the outer part isnt. If it can spin and still not expand then i'll look at it tomorrow. Btw the clutch is kept on by the keyway and a big washer, but not think, that seperated the clutch and the Gold, so i think grade 8, bolt. As washers do lol

Those are self lubricating you NEVER PUT GREASE IN THERE.... if the bone in your head can't understand that ... Use dry lube. But really you just clean it up....and put it together dry .....and you are probably missing a snap ring which is aggravating shoe drag due to the weak spring.... And shorten the spring so it releases correctly....that is free too. And all that was ever needed.

Why did you take the wheel and the drive gear off u could of removed the master link and the bolt for the clutch and take the whole thing off in one assembly and honestly they only cost 25$ unless ur getting a race clutch seems like a waste of time

[@guppoe35]

Didn't help my go kart Because I don't have one haha but it helped with my mini bike! Thanks bud!

[@TheFeesher]

+Micheal Caughey you're welcome! Glad I was able to help!

[@guppoe35]

The Feesher is any high temp grease ok to use ?

[@TheFeesher]

Micheal Caughey I don't see why not. As long as it won't catch fire lol

[@guppoe35]

The Feesher haha well I don't know anything about this stuff so I reckon I'll get something similar to what you used

[@TheFeesher]

Micheal Caughey good plan, conservative use is the key for any grease in this situation

[@kenjohnson5498]

Just NO! Bushing or bearing for wet grease. You can put a tiny bit of powder graphite on the slides and between the pads but very lightly

[@markdacosta9380]

Those things you're calling clutches there actually called The clutch shoes

[@brapptv44]

i dont trust a guy that uses snap ring pliers. only trust a guy that struggles with the snap right for 2 hrs trying to pry it off with a flat head screw driver and stabs his hands at least 5 times.

1st give away that the spring is 100% dead.. he put it right in the shoes no issue nothing holding spring in! Lol

Never put grease on the inside of the drum housing,,any grease/oil in this area will only heat up melt down and make its way to covering the inside of drum housing causing slipping,overheating,then turns into a gummy substance were tiny particles of dust/dirt/grime will easily build up and lead to more clutch issues.this method of greasing the inside area of the drum may be a quick fix for a sticky clutch and will hold out a little bit in certain situations,,but theres much better ways to go about cleaning and lubrication of the clutch to last longer and be more efficient for practicality free also,im not trying to disrespecting your video we all started out at some point learning,,and at the end of the day its just a go kart not a Ferrari 😂

[@vexstatv8011]

My chit is stuck to the camshaft

[@dtrgarage7797]

Lol theres a easier way use brake parts cleaner and it will fix it without taking it all apart lol

[@thetonytolbert]

Too much talking. Jesus…

[@TheFeesher]

That is what I thought too, the guy just doesnt shutup.
