I was thinking about that but I've had the carb on and off so many times that I don't want to do it again. I'll try it with the muffler and if it's too laggy then I'll straight pipe it. Also, I don't want the neighbors to get too annoyed with all my engines (weedwhacker, RC car, minibike, truck).

For the clutch, I have one of those centrifugal ones on my minibike and while it is nice and easy to use, I don't really care for it. It slips too much for my liking. Plus it is money I would rather save than spend. Budget is the key for this project. I've got a V belt setup, so I'm going to try it.
