What Clutch to look for

[Flathead One]

I have a 47 H whizzer motor mounted in a 63'-ish Schwinn 26 inch Cruiser frame. First part I would like to find is the clutch. Just not clear on what works on the old and new Whizzers. Thanks

Hi Flathead One, Welcome to the Forum.
The new edition whizzer clutch pulley is wider than the vintage clutch pulley, and the new edition pulley only comes with a 5"and 3 1/2" pulley.
where as the vintage pulley comes in a 5"and 3 1/2" or 5" and 4" size.
the clutch arms are not the same either.
can you post pics of your project.

Thanks, Ray

I have the clutch Arm, just need the Pully, Bearing, clamps etc. Would like to keep the bike an affordable project. Goal is a mix of the old and new, Re-pop and origional.

You've got a really good start there, nice head, are the valves still 3/4" valves. also you can add the electronic ignition, eliminate the points.

Had no idea about the head. The pistons were marked with a letter "B" on the top. Does this mean anything?

Sounds like it's still a standard bore,they start out A, B, C, D, then go to oversize.
