Mini bike motor question

[daniels]

Hey guys, it's been a while. I have a question. I have a 139cc 2 stroke motor off my old snow blower that I'd like to put onto a minibike. My question is, for those of you that have done similar, did you use a torque convertor or a clutch to engage the rear wheel?

Thanks

Torque converter is the way to go

A "Torque converter " is a pair of variable pulleys . as used on snowmobiles . It acts as a transmission , by changing the drive ratio as speed increases

Use the clutch. I have two with 5HP Briggs on them, the clutch works great. I tightened up the spring to increase the stall speed on mine. They are both fast. Dean

Clutchs are the easy way and most cost effective!

Simplicity of function, use, and maintenance, along with positive power transfer and release.
