Has Anyone Moved The 212 Engine's Clutch To The Flywheel Side?

[wolvmarine]

I made a flat bottom boat when I was 8. Funny how it turned out to look like a coffin
I used calking to seal it up. I put it in the water and it sank within 10 mins. I used the wrong kind of calking.
Who reads instructions when your 8

Good thing it wasnt a sub

We all love challenges.

Two heads are better than one.

Thanks bro'ski

Did you put the caulk on the inside or outside of your coffin? To seal from water on the outside you put the caulk on the outside. To seal a vessel to hold water you caulk it on the inside.
All about pressure shoving that caulk against the sides. If you slap caulk on the wrong side the pressure will shove your caulk aside and leak.

I got the Plywood, nails and calk from a housing project by my house. I put calk everywhere and really slapped it on thick. My friend helped me drag it to the water (swamp) The calk dissolved in water. I was in a hurry and probably should of let the calk dry for a day. It might of stayed afloat for 20 mins instead of 10 min. Remember I was 8

I remember how it looked and everyone called it a coffin

I ordered a new OEM crank from Ebay, $25 shipped.

The fast shipping itself must cost more than $25!

It'll be here tomorrow.

It's such a bargain, and will save me $$ in machining costs.
I save not having to lathe a 1" shaft to 3/4", drill and tap for clutch retaining bolt, and
cut the keyway.

I can't wait to cut off the ends of a brand new, perfectly good crankshaft.

My new clone crank arrived.

It’s well worth $25, shipping included.

Now to cut off both ends, and send everything to the machine shop.

I bought dual charging coils for $20.00

These bolt onto the engine block, and the flywheel spins around them.

Should make more power.

Here’s the crank and the coils:

The modified clutch shaft screws onto the flywheel shaft.

However, I’m thinking it MIGHT unscrew itself.

The go kart hub supports the clutch shaft,
and its setscrews will secure it.

I’ll wrap a hose clamp around the hub.
It will prevent the setscrews from backing out.

Blue Loctite on everything should be good enough. But a hose clamp will add extra piece of mind

Yes, Blue Locktite and the clamp work.

No need check ‘em afta dat

A clamp will only work if the set screw is proud, if it's indented at all then it can still back out some.
