[@michaelwalker4456]

My theory on the lifespan issue of your clutch is the springs are too strong. Have them engage at a lower rpm, use weaker springs. This is tricky tho...put a kill switch in.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Your probably right, I do have a weaker set of spring in it now and it seems to hold up better and engage better. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@lowellweeks1448]

Well done. Makes perfect sense now.

Thanks I was searching around for a video to fix my pocket bike wheel problem the problem I have is that it won’t move nor the clutch housing was moving but the clutch was spinning while idling but when I go to pull the gas the bike wouldn’t move so I looked at the clutch and housing and it’s all rusty

[@saiprasadchintakindi7596]

thank you for a practical learning

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Your welcome, Thanks for Watching!!!

[@iodineclip]

what about the ones that combines both centrifugal and basket type clutch?

[@Chrissblc]

Hey, but how do you shift tho , do you just shift up and down when u want and if u don’t Schmidt will it just be like in neutral and rev all the way up?

[@teresacoe7871]

Thank you so much this fixes my problem

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Your welcome, Thanks for Watching!!!

[@steveparsons6016]

How do uprated springs (more tenskon) improve it the clutch as looking at how it works you would think a lighter spring would be better

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Low tension springs will allow it engage sooner at lower RPM's, which is good for general purpose riding or in grass, heavy tension springs allow the engine to rev up higher so it may have more off line take off on pavement/concrete. not recommended for riding in grass, it will slip more and burn up. I think i used the medium tension springs on this but it may be the light ones can't remember. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@jamesmeckem9946]

My tote goat has a clutch like this it engages the second you try to start it and kills the engine What can I do to fix it?

[@grotekleum]

If you had a strobe light you could slow that down so it could be visible. Thanks for posting.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

I might try hooking a timing light to it! Might be a interesting effect! Thanks for Watching!!!

[@cruelchris3099]

Question: When on the go with a centrifugal clutch, does it stay engaged at higher speeds if the engine isn't giving it power?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

It will stay engaged for just a bit since the clutch is still connected from the centrifugal force, but it won't take long for it start slipping then finally disengage. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@cruelchris3099]

@@fnaguitarplayer9 So say, if I were to put a 420cc engine in a car, with a gear reduction that connected to a centrifugal clutch, would it be possibe to let off the gas to change gears like a "neutral" position, since the clutch doesn't have the engine power going to it?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

@@cruelchris3099 that has actually been done, but they didn't use a clutch. I think it would work, hard to say how smooth though. It would probably have to have a lighter flywheel to get it to idle down faster i'd say.

[@brandonnicholas1340]

That’s really helped me thanks

[@gmittal78]

Hi thanks for the info,my 49cc quad with centrifugal clutch has a problem related to your video.When I pull start quad I have to raise rear wheels in order to start it and after starting wheels keep turning .As soon as the wheels touch ground the engine stops.I am assuming that the clutch is stuck.Do you have any recommendations please!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

It may be idling to fast, trying adjusting the idle down to disengage the clutch, if that doesn't help then the clutch spring could be broke keeping it engaged. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@gmittal78]

You were correct spring was broken,cheers

I’m building a go kart with a 9hp Briggs engine, are there any brands you can recommend to me? I think it has a 1 inch shaft

[@habazvlogs]

hey I have a question I have the same motor and the same thing and when I put the throttle down you can hear it it wants to go you can hear full throttle but dosnt wanna move moves really slow if you could help me asap please I thing it's the spring not tight enough to spread out all the way to make it run not sure need your help thank you 👍

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Sounds like it will need a new clutch, these are bad about the the clutches wearing out, you should be able find one ebay for 5-10 bucks. Your welcome, Thanks for Watching!!!

[@robeftyearian8760]

I've got a cultivstor tiller it has a cable that works the clutch is this the same thing looks the same

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

I hear ya, probably made very similar. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@liamparker2044]

Hi, what is the purpose of a centrifugal clutch? Thanks

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

On go karts and mini bikes it eliminates the need for a manual clutch, it allows the engine to idle without engaging so it can run without moving. if you didn't have a clutch it would take off as soon as you start it and stall when you come to a stop. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@hp-bbq-saucy416]

I've had to replace my clutch shoe in my mini dirt bike four times now they keep breaking even the two spring ones any idea why?, Great vids like always!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

I'm not sure right off hand what would be causing that, unless the bearing is wore out in the clutch housing (the part with the sprocket), it could be throwing it out of line putting extra stress on it, or do to to much chain tension as well. Thanks! Thanks for Watching!!!

[@keithstarkey5584]

I'm still left wondering, though, how my Honda Silver Wing can hit 75 mph (no problem) without me hearing any shifting of a gear. There has to be more than one gear, right, in order for the bike to get that fast from a dead stop (and it does it quickly). There simply wouldn't be enough power to start the bike from a dead stop if it were just one gear in play...at least I wouldn't think. So I don't understand how that part works.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

It probably has a torque converter, and not a actual centrifugal clutch setup. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@Zaidi_227]

Are these things durable?? I have a 5 year old moped bike with 20000 kms on it and today when I took it to the yamaha dealer service center they were strongly suggesting me to replace its shoes and belt. So should i?? And are they durable?? I mean 20000 km is not much to ware these parts out right?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

More then likely that will have a torque converter and not a actual centrifugal clutch, i could be wrong but i'd say thats what it is, and the belts do wear out on them, not sure about how many miles/kms though. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@Zaidi_227]

@@fnaguitarplayer9 hey! Thanks for the reply and no it definitely has a centrifugal(friction) clutch on it and turns out that the clutch carrier assy didn't need replacing but they unnecessarily replaced it anyways, these scammy dealers I tell ya just don't want to help the customer, they want to loot em! lol. Anyways here's a question: are the clutch shoes which attach to the housing made of metal or some other material?

[@Misha64606]

dont understand how centrifugal force is enough to keep pads with the outside part engaged?i thought its a small force. does it only work at high speeds? to make it work at low speeds should i loosen the springs? but at low speed centrifugal force is lower, but the rotating force is the highest, when we are going uphill, so how can it work without slipping?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

It is, but keep in mind even if the springs were removed and all the force was applied, it will still slip some, they remind me of a torque converter in a car, its never 100% connected (unless it is a lock up torque converter), not a exact comparison but its what it reminds me of. But yeah it will slip especially going uphill. Thanks for Watching!!!
