[Kartbuilding] Off-road go kart questions

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Eli,

Thanks for your email.

The reaons I have a clutch pedal on the kart, is because I use the engine 
from a motorbike, which has a manual clutch. On a motorbike however the 
clutch is operated by the left lever on the handlebar.

I also prefer having a manual clutch. It gave me plenty of practice 
getting the cluch and acceleration correct. I had no problems when I 
started driving a car!

Its up to yourself whether you use a clutch or not. It does depend on the 
type of engine you are using and whether it has a manual or automatic 
clutch.

Best of luck,
-steve
