These chains have a 1/2″ pitch and are also larger in size. Instead, I would recommend that you opt for a clutch that is has 10 sprockets and supports a #40/41/420 chain.

However, chances are that they may break under a too heavy load. I don’t recommend #35 chains, although it’s possible to use them on go-karts. The important thing to understand here a 10-tooth sprocket clutch supports #40, #41 and #420 chain, whereas the 12-tooth sprocket clutch supports a #35 chain.Īs you can see from the illustration above the pitch of a #35 chain is relatively small at 3/8″. When looking at the Predator 212 go-kart clutch, you’ll have the options of a 3/4″ bore with a 10-tooth sprocket or a 12-tooth sprocket. Therefore, it’s important to look at the bore diameter carefully before deciding which clutch to purchase. This also means that clutches which have other bore diameter sizes such as 5/8″ are not compatible with your Predator engine. This is because the shaft diameter (diameter of the engine’s crankshaft) is also 3/4″ and the go-kart clutch slides on top of the crankshaft. In the image above, you’ll see that the bore of the clutch needs to be 3/4″ in order for it to be compatible with the Predator 212 engine. One of the most important things that you’ll need to take note of is the clutch bore diameter, as this has to be compatible with your Predator 212 engine.

Let’s explore the bore diameter and recommended chain size in a little more detail. However, I highly recommend the 10T & 3/4″ Clutch, as it’s compatible with larger and more heavy-duty chains. The clutches that are compatible with a Predator 212 engine have different bore diameters and chain size compatibility.Īs you can see, the Predator 212cc engine has two compatible centrifugal clutch that can be used: the 10T & 3/4″ Clutch and the 12T & 3/4″ Clutch. I’ve created a table with the three most common centrifugal clutches that are available on the market. This section aims to provide you with as much relevant information as possible, to help you make an informed purchase decision. When looking for a clutch for your Predator 212 engine, it’s important that you consider various aspects such as the compatibility, bore diameter, chain size, sprocket teeth and engagement range.
