Hot clutch

[jebidoo]

My centrifugal clutch gets extremely hot... is this normal?

Yes. Clutches get very hot. If your gearing is too high it will put more strain on the clutch. The clutch should not get red hot or smoke.

Thanks bud... our first run was yesterday and didn't know if it was supposed to be that hot.... no glowing red yet!
