the taper is what was used, for your purposes, there aren't many options.
Pull the crank and have a keyway machined into it. Swap the crank for one with a keyway in it. Go shadetree ... Weld a tall bead run into it and cut/grind it back to keystock dimensions. Drill some deep "dimples" into it and red loctite the screws on a centrifugal clutch with at least 2 set screws. |
