New 79cc build

SB, That is what I am using, the "max torque clutch" with a jackshaft instead of the Q matic transmission. So, I have 2 chains to deal with while you have 1 chain and 1 belt. One of the 2 chains always gets some slack in them. Heck, that might be what is causing the clutch chatter and vibrations.

Which chain is it...from the clutch to the input, or your chain to the rear sprocket? It could possibly be alignment if the chain is tight and then goes slack.
 
It's the clutch that causes the chatter... Spend the money one time and purchase the right clutch. End of debate.... Now back to the orig post....

The only problems I have areth what I found on the Internet. It says 3/4" bore drive with 3/16" keyway and my HF79cc is 5/8" drive.

Factory Set to engage at 4000 RPM. The HF79cc engine Maximum speed (rpm) is 3600 RPM with a Maximum Torque (ft. - lbs.) 3.5 ft. lbs. @ 2500 RPM, so I'm thinking this might not work in my case.

This racing clutch looks like what I need if it fit the engine.

With the Governor removed that motor should go to 5000 rpm easy
 
Headtrama, what's the 411 on the upgraded valve springs? Where did you find them? Are they predator 212 or handa parts? I am very interested in getting a set.

Thanks!
 
I swapped out my 79cc for a 99 cc today , What a difference some cc's make . The bike is actually fun to ride now .

Im going to have to soften the clutch now because it hits a little hard on take off . Only thing done to the motor is I decked the head for more compression and cleaned up the ports and heavy valve springs .

When I was fitting the stainless steel clutch shim I made for the cheetah clutch I slashed my hand open on it and had to get stitches today . So I didn't get much time to ride it . But it rode well on its first ride .
 
Sorry about the injury. Ive mashed and slashed myself pretty good a few times over the years. Not fun.
Ive read that you can use the 79cc head gasket on a 99cc block. The 79cc gasket is .030" thinner.
Thanks for the note about the springs. Sounds like a set of upgraded clone springs would work for me.
 
The springs are a easy swap, affordable go kart has a build up of a 99cc motor on there website. The 99cc is no longer available.

Those extra 20cc's do make a big difference. I recently swapped the stock springs in my 99cc for the 18lb springs from AGK, wow no floating at all. (^)

what do you mean floating? what does the motor sound/act like when floating?(chuggs or cuts in and out?)
 
I've always found my bikes run better after being christened with blood, sweat and tears.
I have also been known to dance naked at midnight on a full moon at the local dirt track....
smeared with 90 weight gear oil and wearing cheap sunglasses.

In the winter? laff

What do the neighbors think?
 
I got some more seat time on the bike today . I rode over to culver city classics today and the bike ran really well . The motor will rev past 6000 rpm but I like to keep it about 5000 5500 rpm .I let Jeff ride it and he seemed to like the way it rode . Thanks Jeff for hooking me up with the 99 this bike is way more fun to ride now .
