79cc predator, maxtorque ss clutch with bronze bushing
I know several people have made different types of modifications to centrifugal clutches, but idk if anything is possible for the SS clutch. I tried googling, but maybe I'm not using the right terms, every time I tried it gave me a bunch of results on torque converters. If what I want can't be done, please don't flame me. Also please do not comment on how bushing clutches are junk, its simply not going to be helpful. I'm looking for simple, helpful yes/no/how answers, not trying to go running down rabbit holes. So here is my question.
Can a bushing type clutch be modified or converted in any way, such as converted to a one way or be modified in such a way to pedal start? I remember reading on the other forum of a member modifying a centrifugal clutch (not sure which clutch or engine) to be able to pedal start, but don't remember reading how. If anyone knows how or can provide a link to the thread I'm referring to if they know, that would be great. I also remember that a member of the other forum, cobrafreak, created a bearing conversion mod, but don't know if its applicable to this type of clutch. If anyone knows and could tell me, that would be great. Just looking for any helpful info. Thanks.
