[Kartbuilding] centrifugal clutches

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Tim,

That motorbike engine (Honda 360, CB) sounds perfect for the job. That 
engine might even be air cooled, so you wont have to go setting up a 
radiator etc.
You sound to be well on the way for a good build. When you say "trike", I 
take it you mean a 3 wheeler? If its for off-road use where you want good 
cornering, you might have to look into differentials which allow all 
vehicles to corner effectively.

As for photos - yes indeed, if you forward them on I will put them and any 
other information up on www.kartbuilding.net to help inspire fellow kart 
builders.

Best of Luck,
-steve
