How to: oil, clean, and get more life out of a centrifugal clutch! 

Good on you for taking the time to learn to maintain your equipment. Thanks for sharing

Nice touch holding the key with a hose clamp.

Good video kid. It was put together really well and you are very articulate.

thank a lot karting kid nice job on cleaning and oiling the clucth.

Depending on the situation , I've added a grease fitting in the end of the crank or crank bolt (drill it hollow) And drill a hole thru the crank and thru the clutch bushing. Voila ,add a light shot of grease in the crank end and leave disassembling and oiling clutches for the birds.

Nicely done

If you sand the outer casing often where the clutch makes contact overkill isn’t the word for it! It’s called slowly manually wearing out your clutch as it would do on its own. I would recommend on light abrasions with fine sandpaper but only mild scuffing because this overkill will kill your pocketbook quicker then wearing the clutch down under above normal use. You’ll have to trust me on this as I was a certified machanic from 1978 until 2001 and my late father-in-law had a heavy equipment shop on big Hysters and small engine repair at his shop that I helped my brother in law with many times on days and weekends I could. He became a Harley Davidson repair guy mainly building up factory engines and adding much more HP his business is Red Line Cycles. Keep learning maybe you can do what my brother in law has and created a name large clientele and lots of cash doing something he loves doing. Just remember a jobs a job! But if you become a master at a job and enjoy doing it, it’s called a high paying hobby!

Impact driver worked well I remember i try useing hand tools. It was just rotating the engine. So when the time comes to replace the clutch ill use a impact.

This is why i went to motorcycles as a kid !!

nicely done, I'll definitely apply this if i get a used clutch

Cool kart good vid

Out standing shipmate. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63 Jan 1980 to July 1983.

Can't believe how good this video was. Well done bud

That bearing inside is an "Oilite" oil impregnated sleeve. Do not use grease- light oil is what is in it and will last longer than grease or Vaseline which clogs it up and dries out. As was mentioned in the comments- use sandpaper not a dremel. Mike

You want to put the master link clip with the opening opposite of rotation, so if it snags something,, it won't come off.

Nice

nice video dude, but remember you don't want scrape the internal surface of the clutch and never use teflon or silicon based oil because they are anti friction oils always use tolian based oil.

what dremmel bit did u use?

Nice vid. I personally use Hilliard Extreme Duty Clutch on my Colman BT200x great clutches 💪

Throwing shit everywhere. That's how I roll too.

Nice job🇺🇲

Do the lines really help though? Doesnt it reduce the surface area and contact patch?

Dam what causes that slipping I I grease it every time I go out well mabe every other time but dam its a brand new racing clutch what v

You put the master link clip on backwards. The open end goes toward the rear when on top

Hey great video. My new clutch is sparking and making a griding noice inbetween the outer and inter layer when i start throttling. Do you know a fix?:

Why not use carburetor cleaner?

Homie used a whole roll of paper towels

Hey guys! Im back, check out my latest vid with the drag minibike and drift kart, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Obx4aIgey6E.html

Would grease work as a lube?

Dam guy ill buy you some snap ring pliers......

I don't recommend taking your Dremel and sanding the inside out like that just some lights scoffing is all it will take I have even painted mine again and just some light sanding to make it rough and it will last twice as long what this young man is doing is right but it's wrong at the same time he will prematurely wear the clutch out. But they're pretty cheap anyways so to each their own.

Wait... What does it sound like again? Lol

I like go Powersports.com i bought a sprocket and Brake Drum for my 1998 Manco Terminator gokart.

Hey my wheel spins even do I’m not pressing the throttle? I adjusted the idle still spins it’s a brand new 212 predator engine? Can u help me ?

Master link is going wrong way. Clip opposite to direction of chin direction ..

When cleaning up that drum with the grinder.. Sparks = BAD. Need to be a bit less aggressive. You don't want to get it out of round.

Great Bidio

Nice hack my clutch grabs great doesn't get hot anymore now I don't have to get a bully clutch

“Isotoner” rubbing alcohol Hahaha!

You dont grind a clutch with a dremel Use sandpaper and very fine

please do not use vasoline for mechanical applications if you can avoid it. otherwise excellent video to save burned out clutches.

I thought he was going to break the glaze, not ruin the clutch.

Removing material inside clutch housing with a Dremel…not a good idea. You;re essentially shortening the life of the clutch by removing material with very abrasive high speed sanding. Use fine grit sandpaper and go over a couple times. That’s it. The clutch plates are already wearing down the housing. Don’t help it. Just my opinion.

Small dremel like that is a very bad idea. So many bad idea's in this video. 🙈

Get good points for effort but you should not have used a dremel just some 80 grit sand paper and did it by hand you just destroyed your clutch it's only gonna last a short time bro nice try though

use brake clean

Talk about the wrong way to do things !
