I got my CT200U off of Offer Up Daytona beach Florida for 175$s in like new condition!....the fella I purchased it from needed the money asap....darn good investment, me and my 4 year old son love it!
There is some bad info in this video. For one do not spray the clutch drum with carb or brake cleaner like he did, he got it on the oil-lite bushing in the drum. The solvent is so hot it leeches out the lube in the brass bushing.. The bushing is designed to soak oil in. Spray the cleaner on a rag and carefully clean the drum, avoiding the bushing. Okay next, you can use grease but it won't last and soon you'll have to break it down to re grease. Instead use 3 to 4 drops of 30 w oil on bushing. Put it right where the snap ring is. You can do this without removing clutch from bike. When clutch starts grabbing at idle and squeeling noises are present, oil the bushing. Spend your time riding not tearing clutch down, only tear down once in a while for cleaning. All of the quality made clutches recommend 30 w oil, not grease.
@@DS-ss7vl According to Hilliard race clutches, the WD 40 is the safest to clean drum and shoes. They claim the brake cleaner cleans it to good, you need just a slight amount of slipping as you reach full engagement speed. Otherwise the shoes grab and you don't get a smooth take off. WD 40 really isn't a lubricant, it stands for water dispersal formula 40, it does slightly lube, but evaporates away. It is a old go kart race trick to give the clutch a quick shot of WD 40 to slightly decrease the co efficient of friction for smoother clutch operation.
The clutch in this video appears to be designed for a 3/4 inch crankshaft. My CT200 came with a 16mm crankshaft. The clutch is different from the one in this video. The area that the clutch hub rides on has a caged bearing. I cleaned it and packed it with grease much like the wheel bearing in a car. This clutch design is much better than the clutch in the video that uses a bushing instead of a caged bearing. A caged bearing beats a bushing by a mile in most applications. I was not happy that my engine came with the smaller 16mm crankshaft but do like the clutch design with the caged bearing.
What I described above works fine after doing multiple rides, many at slower speed where you are on and off the clutch and it heats up. Never used a drop of oil. I only got a little splatter onto the clutch drum because I used a little too much grease. Works great.
Paul G iam thinking of buying 2 of these are the clutches normally bad should I be ready to replace or do what you show on video and it should be ok or????
The clutch is put on dry in the factory with no grease on the clutch shaft so cleaning isn’t going to do much for the clutch. Go get some multi purpose grease from the auto parts store and it’s only 3 dollars a can. Then what I do is get a paint brush of some sort and paint the grease on the shaft so it gets on there evenly without any clumps
I had the same problem with my ct200u ex and ended up snapping the spring inside the clutch and now I cant find any the right size and I went to p.a and bought the wrong size
I just bought a used Coleman mini bike ct200u a - May 2018 Model, Does anybody know if it should have JUST a single chain set up?? that's what this one has I bought " Single Chain, it chatters constantly when nailing the gas, so I pull the clutch like I see on youtube to grease it up, stills does it, my sons were looking at it tonight and said the chain looks like its doing something weird on the clutch. I'll get into it some tomorrow. HELP!!! :P
Mine doesn’t have the other small chain just a long one and my clutch fell off the other day when I hit a big jump any ideas on how to stop it from doing that
Is it the lack of grease on the clutch shaft that causes a sort of whirring noise when you let off the throttle? Or is that normal? Also I used a small drop of oil around the clutch bolt previously, which I believe lasts for a single ride. I've had one of these for several years, sat in the garage, and would like to make use of it. I'm in the UK. I'd imagine the wheel bearings aren't greased either, not sure if these are sealed or you can grease them. I'm considering the OMB warehouse torque converter kit, but would be happy to get the best performance out of the stock setup for now. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
See my posts above in this thread. Does your clutch have a bushing or a bearing? If a bushing you will need to oil it after every ride when it's hot or service it like he does in the video. The wheel bearings are sealed bearings but you can carefully remove the seal and pack more grease in them. I don't know what is causing the whirring noise.
The flyweights will slip when they contact the clutch drum instead of sticking to it and moving the bike forward, they'll spin around in there and you won't go anywhere and they'll probably do damage to the drum.
@@johnbriggs7462 Clean it with a harsh cleaner like brake cleaner or carb and choke cleaner and wipe any residue out. You might also try an industrial degreaser like Jolt or even Super Clean if that doesn't work. See if you get good grip then.
I'm having trouble removing my centrifugal clutch from my Box Stock Project engine . To install an ARC rod Flat top piston & a HOTTER CAM. etc. There are NO VISIBLE SET SCREWS -NO SNAP RINGS OR BOLT & WASHER on the output shaft at all. I believe its just stuck on by years of rust . Whats the best way to REMOVE IT ! I think it's a Max torque or Noram clutch I am thinking of using some rust penitrater Like PB Blaster or WD-40. Etc. Let it sit for a while to do it's majic AND A GOOD PULLER also if needed a few good taps around clutch with ceramic mallet then , and only if needed. , a Ball peen hammer . ANY THOUGHTS. OR SUGGESTIONS ? HMU - THANKS
@@leeoswald6803 What i did was loosen the engine mount bolts, loosen rear axle bolt and chain tension bolts then push the engine forward about an inch. Retighten engine bolts, adjust chain tension then tighten axle bolts. Easy.
@@kingstonlabelle6954 where did you get yours? did you just go to a hardware store or order it online. I don't know what it looks like since it fell off along with the clutch. and this video was filmed on a toaster so hard to see.
@@meatwad1193 my bike starts smoking and wants to move forward when I put the bolt in do you know what the issue is? I assume it’s something with the clutch but I don’t know.
@@BMCfilmz lol my does too yeah its something with the clutch but mines so bad that I'm going to have to replace the whole engine cause it's uncomfortable and i don't know how to fix it.
