Manual Clutch for Horizontal Shaft Motor
Anyone interested in a manual clutch for horizontal shaft motors? It would be similar to a slide on centrifugal clutch, but would allow the user to operate the clutch with a cable. This would allow the user to have much quicker starts, feather the clutch around turns, burn-outs, donuts, decompression braking, etc. As far as I know, nothing like this exists...
Thoughts? |

Attached you'll see pictures of one of our first prototypes. The clutch was designed by myself and my brother (both engineers).
Also, here's a couple videos of this thing in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=9DXW6k73b5Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=_E14X_aGrYk |

We'll get there, baby steps first!
Just a couple questions: What size crankshaft is typical on a mini buggy? Do you guys run a standard PTO crank with the four bolt pattern? Currently, we are about to go into production with our 3/4" #35 chain unit but we have plans to manufacture a 1" and 1-1/8" unit fairly soon. Also, the design allows for the selection of any sprocket size and pitch above the minimum. |

Most production buggys use some variation of CVT mated to the engine, but I would LOVE to see a 21hp v-twin B&S tearin up the trails in a buggy frame. Oh, the possibilities!!
I would say, as 1", and 1-1/4" clutches are almost non existent, you might find your market there. I already like the idea behind choosing your own sprockets, that is a head ache when looking for cent. clutches now. |

Just to keep you guys in the loop, here's a set of renderings for the 3/4" 14 tooth #35 chain production parts. The finish will be black oxide coating, these things will look nice!

Not bad, I like the vid where he eats it on the mini bike!
I was wondering what happened to you guys, actually almost forgot about your designs.

honestly, I don't see where it would help us with our buggies, maybe someone could explain how it would to me.
