Re: Clinton A400 Issues
Thanks guys. Now I am wondering about crank bearings. Is the A400 equipped with adequate ones from the factory, or is there an upgrade for these as well?

Re: Clinton A400 Issues
How high can a Clinton A400 rev? It doesn't make that much power anyway-so every rev matters.....

Re: Clinton A400 Issues
I see the ad for a new flywheel-is this aluminum? Why would it need replaced for go kart use?

Re: Clinton A400 Issues
Thanks Terry!!! I am going to redo this engine slowly and a step at a time. So I will need occasional tech assistance and/or parts references. 001.JPG Here is as far as I got tonight. By the way-the PB Blaster seems to have worked-the recoil is retracting nicely now!!! Soon the flywheel will come of...

Re: Clinton A400 Issues
Thanks-that's what I thought. I put some PB Blaster in there....but I might put some more in. It seems to retract when you "help" it a bit......

Re: Clinton A400 Issues
Thanks Rob-actually, the recoil pulls out fine-it just hesitates to retract. It will if you help it a bit. I'm just afraid to take it apart-even though that's all it will need, probably. I just don't want the thing to fly apart like so many others.......But I agree-if it doesn't fly apart, I think i...
