    Manual clutch?

    Awesome! Yeah that idea should work. The centre disc is basically just a large sprocket. 3 old valve springs maybe? If u have a lathe then u can make all the rest!

    Manual clutch?

    Yeah the way the cable is used is odd, but looks cool with that chunky lever is operates. As for the friction pads, break pads sound like a good option. The ones on mine line up on both sides, so I dunno if possibly they go right thru? As there is little separation between the plates they...

    Manual clutch?

    It's a Ransommes Mercury 16" mower. No date that I can see but I think it's 1960s some time. It's dark when I get home but this weekend I'll do a quick video on YouTube for it.

    Manual clutch?

    Well this one does in a way! The clutch lever on the handle has a catch. U pull the lever and engage the catch and will hold the clutch open. I'll post a pic when I get home.

    Manual clutch?

    Not sure if anyone has done this before, but it should work... I got on old style lawnmower a while back just for the engine. My plan was to sell or scrap the rest of the mower, but then I got thinking... It has a centrifugal clutch to drive the blades at the front constantly, but there is...

    Shaving eyebrows on an IC engine

    Hi all, I'm working on an 8hp IC. I have smoothed out all of the edges in the combustion chamber, but I'm not sure how to go about grinding round the edge of the cylinder where the iron sleeve meets the block. Could it cause bad things to happen if I start grinding lumps out of the sleeve? My...

    Legal action against MBs in England

    Legal action against MBs in England

    Not got any photos, they just look like plastic superbikes about 2' tall. Anything that isn't road legal is towed and crushed, and to make it even better... they charge you to have it crushed!
