    Should have made a jack shaft with the center of the clutch disc welded to one end for the splines to adapt to the transmission shaft. Use a 40 series torque a verter kit with plate on the 420cc engine. Run chain from driven clutch to sprocket on the jackshaft. This will give you a neutral when idling and also allow you to shift your transmission to reverse when needed. You would also be able to start your engine with the electric starter or pull start and the car would not jump ahead. No more pushing to start your car. It would run even smoother at the correct rpm/ power band. All you would need is a 40 series converter kit with backing plate and jackshaft made correctly, and appropriate sprockets. And you would have a smooth running and controllable power source for your car. The torque converter kit, pillow blocks and sprockets are off the shelf items. Not much more of an expense.

    • @keithstowing16
      @keithstowing16 Před 5 lety +1

      Right now the first time it builds speed going down a hill it will probably blow the engine. Its definitely not welded exactly strait... you can see it shaking from being out of balance. They sell a aluminum lightweight flywheel for the stock engine maybe they could use that to keep down on weight

    • @johntingle455
      @johntingle455 Před 5 lety

      @Tru Quality there is already a throtle cable in the car. And a centrigical clutch is only a single speed final drive. A torque-a-vertor is a variable speed transmission with a variable ratio final drive. It would be far superior to a centrigical clutch.

      "Why “net zero”? “We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast,” a summary of the proposal says.
      with her guidelines on ZERO emissions we're even more screwed unless the cows fart into the intake. I think the cow's farting methane would be acceptable if the cow was also included with each car. More like a Brown New Deal.
