Zach Kerber 1 1/8" clutch

There you go!!!   It is done!!!   I've run it and it is awesome.  High quality and very tune able.  

This clutch won't spread the basket like others will under high horsepower and high RPM applications.  

Solid steel and hardened.

520 chain sprocket.

Make sure to tell Zach I sent ya!!!

Looks like the Buller clutch I have, only mine has
1" bore fully adjustable mine has timing belt on
The bowl or can run sprocket dino to 60 hp+
Works good but you need good brakes.

Looks like a buller but is is stronger    And 1 1/8" bore so you don't have to turn down the crank on the big Kohlers and risk breaking the crank. 

Mine has been on the dyno and is real close to triple digit HP. The bullers basket wont take the power.  Zachs is steel and hardened.

No, a Noram Star won't hold up for long on a big hp engine... Bully made a really nice custom clutch for the 1 1/8" cranks and they worked great and handled over triple digit power all season long. However they quit making them bc there was not enough being sold to justify stopping a production line to build them. But there is a solution in the works for that.   Clutches like that are expensive for a reason and they are worth the investment.

Just this size.  Zach specializes in Kohlers. He needed a clutch.  One wasn't avalible that met his standards.  So he built some.  Now they are for sale.

Everybody knows you can't make any power with a Tecumseh. With that said, if anyone has any just sitting around, feel free to send them to me.

And by the way, I think it looks like a nice piece.

The star clutch can only put a limited amount of power through it without slipping bc it was only designed to handle 15-20hp. The engagement is where you will see the biggest difference btwn the two, and the amount of torque it will handle. We all know the star clutch works, but it's not the best option. If you have an engine worth several thousand dollars making big HP, you will want as much of it as possible getting to the rear wheels. It has nothing to do with brand of motors, simply engineering. Kerber's clutch looks to be well built like all the rest of his parts.

Just tested at the track..........if you have a 1 1/8" crank.     You need this clutch.
