    Thats a speed clutch...if you can locate a torque sensing clutch I would honestly go with it. That clutch sucks ...it iz same as I had in my muscateer.

    If you are willing to forgo that clutch get it off anyway you can. It would make your machine 10x better using a torque clutch...trust me...it was the single best improvement to my muscateer.

    Maybe you can make a puller like a bearing splitter and pull from back of clutch???

    Ok, so what is the difference (I deal with FoMoCo Mustangs...!) and what type/model/brand of torque clutch would you recommend? Vendors to surf to see what is out there...

    I am guessing the speed clutch works like a distributor mechanical advance, faster it spins the harder it clamps? And torque sensing react to load?

    Something from here??? Comet Torque Converter Clutches & Parts for Go Karts & Mini Bikes | Go Kart & Mini Bike Parts | MFG Supply

    All new to me, so any advice/experiences appreciated.

    (I did buy a Tecumseh HH100 and have rims/wheels picked out...)

    Sorry not been on in while...speed clutch wont backdown from high gear very well when underload.....more for gocart type of driving I guess...they dont even make them anymore.

    Torque clutch has 3 ramps and a twist action against thr ramps closing the clutch when need of torque for steering or uphill.

    On my Muscateer ...has Hagen trans...I would have to come to a stop at bottom of hill then slowly roll into hill with light throttle. Once going uphill I could full throttle and clutch would not creep up to high gear....however it would NEVER under load go into low gear.

    Peek in my Muscateer out for a ride thread....I thjnk the info u need is in there....places to call where to get clutch parts etc.

    Hope that helps
