Centrifgual clutch question

[james65]

I dig your motor choice. Gotta ask what's the HP and who made it? Are ya gonna use it on a motorbike?
Interesting, clutch will mount on the right hand side of the motor

Yes the clutch will mount on the right side1 How did you know that this was a CW output rather than common CCW!

By looking at your Flat Head - Right side is CW.
So who made it, what's the HP? What did the motor come off of a compressor?

It is on a good running running bike. However I would like to convert it to centrifugal clutch.View attachment 97447

BTW where did ya get this beautiful mechanically engineered Tribute Merkel? Did ya build it?

 

[james65]

If I come across an engine that I like, I build a frame around it. That is an early build photo. Since then I have installed BTR handlebars and other changes to more replicate the era. This pic was the inspiration.
Am enclosing a few other of my builds that were built around the engines. Of course I have more builds as I never sell or trade them, just build for the enjoyment.

OK, I notice your other builds Very Nice
BTW the Merkel tank is Awesome
