I vaguely remember back in the early 80s seeing oil bath disc clutches similar to motorcycle wet clutches. There was several people in my area with racing go carts both 2 and 4 stroke some running on gasoline and some on alcohol that ran the oil bath clutches. I haven’t seen or heard of one in years so I’m guessing they aren’t made anymore.

thank you for all the videos you do. I'm learning a lot from you since my grandson just got his 1st mini bike. it has a 196cc motor with a 5/8" shaft. is there a cvt for that shaft? he almost only rides it on road. it has a VM22 carb on it and i just put a set of front forks on it from go power. other then the clutch is there any other hop ups for it. he's 16 and just like me wants to go fast lol

Some years ago my friends and i rented a cabin inbtbe mountains of Tennessee. We took our carts (yard karts, BKS Grasshoppers) and ran up and down the mountain. The karts with convertors were faster going down, but the clutch karts were faster going up. My kart was fastest going up, but i was cammed and governor deleted.

Have a 19” tire mini bike 224 pred. W/ 24mm pwk, 265 cam, 13-1 comp, custom head. The bike has 50-1 gears, I use a tav2 with a spacer that limits the travel of the driven I also run the 3600 rpm white springs, on the driven I run the stock spring in a 4th hole I drilled past the max setting, I’m still looking to try the yellow spring because this motor likes to rpm

Hey im running the same set up as you more or less but I have a comet 30 series TC. I cant stand how fast it switches to its high gear. I'd love to rev it out to 4 or 5k b4 gear change so I got the blue silver springs which I believe are 3800 springs. My issue now is if I'm in high gear hauling ass then let go of the throttle I'll have a nice coast until 4k-issue then it drops low & it's violent as hel. How does your bike react with the stiffer springs? I cant find any info or a single video anywhere lol fmll

Closest would be a dry clutch found on very few motorcycles. I doubt such a product exists. Requires a clutch housing to hold the mechanism. You'd probably be spending more than the cost of a minibike if such a thing existed.

CVT's operate on centrifugal force and can be adjusted by using different springs. There's no reason they can't work in any orientation.

@SportbikerNZ9 ай бұрын
If you watch the video you will learn you can tune adjust clutch with different springs. A really light spring in the centrifugal clutch would force it to engage at low RPM. Or you can change the gearing so you're going a lot slower for a given RPM.
