what clutch????
ok people, please help. I just got a kohler 16hp for my workhorse and was hoping to re-use the ezgo drive clutch but after removing the clutch from the stock 350 i'm not so sure. the shaft on the kohler looks to be around 1-1/8 in dia. with a keyway and the stock clutch has a sleeve and tapered shaft. what clutch should i be looking for, i am going to run an alternator with this set up so i will need the extra inboard pulley like the stock. someone told me the chushman clutch has tha and will slide right on the kohler shaft . any help with this would be great. thanks Ted

Re: what clutch????
Ted, you can have your clutch machined to fit that shaft, most any machine shop can do it.

Re: what clutch????
thanks for the fast replies, yes i did look at the comet and also the price tag wow, i guess thats last resort. thanks ruredy, do you know if i will have to cut down the shaft once i have the clutch machined, and just to pick your brain; will the stock clutch hold ? how will the clutch stay in place ? do i have a keyway cut into the clutch ? or just the "sleeve" in it removed ? i'm sorry to sound like an idiot i just havent done one of these swaps before and want this thing to hold together. i would much rather use the stock clutch for several reasons, price, the inside alt. pulley is there, i know the belt i have will index properly. just to name a few. thanks for any help. Ted ps ruredy, thats a sweet looking horse on your avatar. i read that you have a locking rear in that can you explain that to me ? mine is the workhorse 1200 LX and i would love to be able to select the diff. but that's still down the road for now. thanks again for all your help. Everyone. Ted

Re: what clutch????
Ted, I never have had a clutch done so I don't know these things first hand, only what i've been told by people who have had it done. i'm sure you don't have to cut the engine shaft, it should bolt on like it does now. They make the hole the size of the shaft and cut a keyway in it. It should handle the extra hp with no problems. lots of people have had this done with no problems. when I was checking into it before the cost was around $85 to do one. I believe it was walkntall (Frank) from alpha carts that was telling me all about it.
The locking rear in my cart looks like a normal rear end but there is a extra bolt on part to the housing where the axle tube bolts up on the pass. side. It has a lever with cable that runs to another lever between the seats. when you want the rear to lock you move the lever to the lock position and shazzzam, the wheels are locked together |

Re: what clutch????
ruredy, could you take a pic. of the rear in your cart and post it or send it to me? i sent me motor and stock clutch to get machined, now onto the rest of the project. i'm wondering if i can add the locking diff. to my rear, i havent found a kit on bu or any other parts site. i'm hoping the factory clutch works but i will keep moving forward with the rest of the cart, front end being mocked up this weekend, (double A arm 4 wheeler type) the rear should be cake i've done the axle flop and now want to link the whole thing, front disc brake set up, and the 16hp should be enough for now. ok thanks for all your help. Ted
