Re: comet 780 question
That's a typical shaft length, should not be a problem for most carts.

Re: comet 780 question
thanks flintrock, that gives me peace of mind. im trying to use my stock clutch but if that falls through I'll go with a 94c or 780.

a stock 4 cycle clutch works very well with the 16hp.

Re: comet 780 question
you need to machine all the stock from the clutch and not the shaft! i machined a taper on my crank to fit the clutch because it started out as a tapered generator shaft.
