Could you tell me what brand clutch is in this picture. THX
VMB is right about the Bully Clutch/Sportsman Flyer set up that Pat has, The Bully is adjusted to lock early and thusly release late affording the ability to engine brake when off throttle. My Sportsman is the Sportsman 80. Engine brake it does very nicely into corners.

Yes Tom it's disconcerting for those used to riding 4cycle motorcycles to transition from, on throttle, to pure coaster mode and no engine braking! That's go carting not riding and it's the clutch, but Pat solved it with the Bully modifications. Early lock in is huge when you are relatively limited in usable rpm range and the spin up to lock in transition must be greatly improved with his setup...you get what you paid for!

I've oil sight glass on both my Harley and Simplex Honda clone engines. They save time and engines.

Sight glass on your engines Rick? My exemplary attention to detail missed that very brilliant inclusion to a crank cast for various reasons. A single photo would suffice. Anyone else with innovative oil level monitoring features?

G. White, have you sorted out the cause of the engine blowing oil? Have you ever accelerated slowly sustained that speed and coasted to park? I am thinking even mild acceleration is causing oil to surge up the cylinder and pulled by the rings and consequently blown out. I am sure your sparkplug is greasy or carbon fouled.
