I've had good luck with clutches, in fact i wouldn't go anywhere without my centrifugal and manual clutch and pull-start combo.

Fabian, Which clutch and pull start did you finally end up with, JN MOTORS or GAS BIKE?

Fabian, thanks for the tips on the pull start cord problem. I came up with another solution that has worked fine so far. First, I moved the hole for the pull cord several degrees to make for a direct pull from my seat when starting the engine. This substantially reduced the friction between the cord and the guide. Second, I replaced the soft plastic guide that came with the pull start housing with a hard pastic guide from an old Homelite blower engine that a friend was going to throw out. Third, I replaced the inferior cord with one from an old Briggs engine (American made I suspect) that is 20 years old and has never frayed with regular use. There is just no substitue for quality and that will always be the case.

There is most definitely no substitute for quality, particularly when a motor bicyclist re-engineers quality into the component that was taken out by the manufacturing process.
