I have a Predator 301cc 8hp engine that I am trying to make work to replace Honda GX270 9hp engine. Problem is with the cluch. We run on asphalt with the Hondas so we use a belt instead of a chain from the wet clutch to the drive tire hub. The Honda's use 3/4" and the Predator uses 1".
What clutch can I use with a 1 inch bore hole that uses a belt instead of chain that is compatible? Also can I use a cheaper clutch that is not "wet" inside of one that is just use little to no oil inside of it?
I have a torque converter that I really would like to try but because we use belts from clutch to tire hub don't know how to bypass using a chain, our axle does not spin just the hub with the tire on it. Also having a hard time lining up the torque converter with the tire hub, does it have to be flush on the engine or can I use spacers of some kind to make it line up?
