i give up. i have a motor with a 5/8th shaft. i am very mechanically handy and i always do too much research on every subject.
i want a centrifugal clutch with a regular rear sprocket but all the store i come by dont say the chain size so i dont know if the clutch will mate with the sprocket.
what is a system/configuration that works. i do not want anything complicated please and something on the torquey side cuz i weight 220lbs

you wont be able to run from the clutch directly to a sprocket on the rear wheel. you will need a jackshaft setup to get a proper gear ratio. you need something like this

.

with out the jackshaft you would have to use a sprocket almost the size of the rim itself.
the centrifigal clutches use either #35 or #41 chain size

its a 2.5 horse no name, chinese clone, 4 stroke with the governor removed and a few hop ups. i plan on peddling to get me moving. its also a pull start. i just need a clutch and rear gear combo that mate up well together because i cant seem to find a sprocket and clutch that take the same chain. i dont know what chain size the back sprocket is

heres how it would go (#35 11t clutch)-(#35 28t on the mini hub)-(#41 9t
-(#41 56t rear sprocket)
if you are using a 26'' wheel this will get you around 30 mph at 6000 rpm

it will look something like this
