Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to this forum so I apologize if this has already been discussed, I couldn't find much of anything. If anyone could either help me or direct me to the relevant thread I'd greatly appreciate it.
I recently built a motorized bike with a kit from Amazon and so far it has worked well, but I think the clutch is worn out already. This is only after about 2 hours of riding max, I haven't even gone through half a fuel tank. Engine is Huasheng 142f with tapered clutch shaft, by the way.
On my last ride I noticed that the engine would vibrate very violently under acceleration, so I stopped riding. I solved this by cleaning the clutch and clutch bell housing. Also, I noted that in general I need to rev up the engine pretty high for the clutch to engage at all, and even at 25mph it isn't fully engaged. After I took off the transmission I noticed there is only about 1-2mm of pad left on either side of the clutch, and there is a huge gap between the bell and the clutch. After some digging I was able to find that it is common for the clutch bell to be oversized, but I can't find any replacements. I did find this clutch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08XLZ6QDX/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A200MF86H5LIR7&psc=1 and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. Is it any good, and if not, what are people doing to solve this issue?
