It keeps haunting me how I can't turn these tires I bought and I realized this was as good a time as any to do a gear reduction. I selected a 35% primary reduction from Don aka BridelessRacing. Would not hesitate to buy from him again.
Here you can see the stock fan in place and the front cover of the engine which needs to be removed.
This is your centrifigal clutch, and behind it is where the small gear will be exchanged for the new one.
Need to remove the staked nut. This is easily done with an impact however I found out its better to have new nuts on hand because it tends to mess up the bent section on the used nut.
It just slides right off
Stock on the right, 35% on the left. This is the drive gear
Stock on the right, 35% on the left. This is the driven gear.
Don't forget to move this bushing to the new clutch basket.
