I have an 8-hp Kohler from a golf cart with a starter/generator belted on it. I origionally thought of using a Comet VST but they are only good for about 5 hp. I discovered I have a centrifugal clutch with a 1" bore and also an industrial pulley speed unit that has a sliding center element and a powerful spring pushing the outer elements together. I also have a Cushman rear wheel unit with sprocket , brake drum and axle. If I was to set the pulley speed controller on a sliding pair of rods it could be shuttled fore and aft with a rocking peddle similiar to a Hawg clutch peddle with a friction pad on the pivot. Simplex/Servicycle used such a system as I remember. It would require a jackshaft to change from output belt to chain sprocket. I would start on it, but it would require a license, title, and insurance.
I really need to keep wiring my car build, so somebody PLEASE talk me out of it !. LOL
