Just a heads up for anybody thinking of buying a centrifugal clutch kit, the one way bearing of my centrifugal clutch has died. The "one wayness" of it is mostly gone, sometimes it kicks in but most of the time it doesnt.
Whenever engine is idling the bearing would jam abit and stall it, and then trying to start the engine again is a pain as the bearing hardly latches on.
Disassembled it and can find nothing out of the ordinary though. Perhaps we should have reinstalled the spring holding the bearing casing when I somehow found it outside the clutch doing an inspection. Clutch was still working as normal though, then it slowly eroded itself.
Bottom line, a bad design? Should have a normal roller bearing where the casing is permanently encasing the bearings instead of this primitive pseudo bearing.
