[Kartbuilding] Wooden kart

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Marvin,

Thanks for the update.
I'm glad to hear you got the clutch working with the 3rd pulley wheel. 
Having the 3rd pulley wheel to tension the clutch makes for much smoother 
taking off and stopping of the kart. If it wasn't too much bother, it 
would be great if you could send on an image of the clutch setup. It is a 
common question I get asked. Before you had the 3rd pulley wheel/clutch 
how did you start the kart? Push start it? Pull start the engine cord 
while giving the kart a push? That is another advantage of having the 
clutch as it makes starting the engine easier.

Thanks for all the real-life info and images on your experiences making 
this wooden kart.
