Worth mentioning again, the left pedal is threaded opposite. Righty loosey on this side, not righty tighty. I had trouble with my original pedal on One-Liner as well. Step one is definitely PB Blaster sprayed on both sides of the pedal threads / crank arm. Slipped the four foot long pipe over the pedal-less crank arm, put the 15 mm pedal wrench firmly on the pedal to be removed, and while pushing against the bar opposite of the wrench direction, placed my foot firmly on the wrench and slowly pushed down on the wrench handle. My pedal wrench has a rubber, very grippy handle, and stayed put under my foot. It still took a bit of leg strength to get it to budge. Like I always say, anything can be accomplished with three things; tenacity, patience, and leverage.....Good to know this is my first time ever taking apart a bike to frame level. Any other advice you guys can give me so I don't destroy something?
I agree here, I'd look at go kart clutches. I like your idea, but it does seem like a lot of moving parts.Your brainstorming diagram is not displayed. In the meantime, though, why not use a centrifugal clutch like everyone else? They're cheap and nearly certain to fit on a Briggs. To my mind, reliability trumps creativeness in this situation. The last thing anyone wants is for you to get seriously hurt by some failed Rube Goldberg contraption.
