Small engine clutches: easy to find as well as dirt cheap

Small engine clutches are the easiest parts to find for your go kart project. Any go kart parts supplier can be expected to carry the small engine clutch you’re looking for. Go karts use simple clutches which basically either manually or automatically engage or disengage the drive on the wheels. A small engine must have a clutch of some kind to prevent the kart from moving when you want to reach an idle position. Common clutches work by fully engaging when a certain stall speed is reached and disengaging when the kart goes below this speed. Clutches can be configured in a way that makes it engage or disengage at a preferred engine speed.

The specifications to look out for when shopping for a small engine clutch include: shaft size, sprocket and chain fit. The aspect of the clutch you should be concerned with is the number of teeth on the sprocket and if your drive chain would fit on it. This said; go karts usually use similar drive setups, so finding the right clutch for your small engine shouldn’t be too hard.
