    Damn engine doesn’t fit

    Won’t clear inside bell housing, not close enough to grind. Back to drawing board, it’ll fit one way or another

    When did you first go the Glamis?

    1985/1986 season was my first year, bought a Suzuki lt250r quad. First trip out with it ran over my leg scarred my boot for life. Young rookie moves. I don’t remember how I got out there, I had no truck, no trailer. My family wasn’t into the desert, they had an Rv that I used until it blew up in...

    Clutch problems suck

    This is what the flywheel will look like, the clutch pictured is what I think we are getting. Motor builder is machining the flywheel and has a clutch package that he has used before. I’m going off of memory for the photo on clutch that I saw 9 months ago in a friends car

    Clutch problems suck

    I had a tilton in the early days, bad ass clutch but very on-off. Was hard to stage smoothly. Went away from it because the flywheel was too light and too thin for our application. We needed more rotating mass at the time. We were running a wedgemated flywheel at the time, now we run a flanged crank

    Aggravating or not?

    I hear you and both orange and blue suck at getting stock down, finding the item that they have 100 of but the box is empty. One time I was doing a bunch of pvc plumbing, going through the boxes looking for what I needed and they are full of all the wrong sizes and types. I decided it was in...

    Clutch problems suck

    Honestly not too bad, 9 out of 10 pieces only make it to the clutch and don’t hit the bell housing. But i’m always afraid of the one piece that leaves the party being its only a cast bell housing.

    Clutch problems suck

    Here’s how it actually goes, starts bending the fingers, as they bend it appears we lose equal load then they tear off. We have only ripped 3-4 off per floater, once these pieces come off they tend to get caught in the clutch not allowing release or engagement, also been caught in starter...

    Clutch problems suck

    Yea that is correct, motor builder says same thing. Never seen it before. I have two races on clutch and all tabs are bent already. My original thought was flywheel was machined incorrectly, third flywheel now it’s not the issue. I have probably ripped the ears off of 5-8 floaters over a 10 year...

    What is the scam? Phone call asking if Ben Brittain (Me) is available. Then immediate hang up.

    Clutch problems suck

    Always had issues with Kennedy double disc clutches. Tried different pressure plates and flywheels, tried making our own thicker floaters along with thinning the discs to keep stack height the same. Kennedy has checked everything years ago. We keep ripping the fingers off the floaters. Time to...

    As a parent do you ever lose the anxiety for your kids?

    It was minor stuff Minor In possession of alcohol, community service Off roading, this was honestly a fiasco. Had 3 police helicopters and at least 20 patrol cars from different cities along with a wack from a cop on side of head with a club when he came up behind me. No charges were ever...
