I have a very old L head on my kids gocart that has seen well over the rated
RPM for many long runs, I'll here him in woods just waiting to hear the POP,
but it just keeps going. When it does go I'll just reach into my junk pile
from the dump and put another on it.

I think I may have just figure out a difference. I went to your mini
baja link and found the model of the engines you use. I looked it up
at small engines warehouse and their was a note that said a spacer is
required on the Intek engines to make the shaft height the same as the
L head engines.

So most likely, the Intek engines shaft, if mounted on a flat surface,
will not accept a standard Comet style clutch, or it may be to close to
the mounting surface.

This is just a guess, but the Intek engine you are using in the mini
bajas looks exactly the same as the Intek 6.5hp engine I am planning on
using. So I don't think their will be any reliablity or performance
issues using this motor in my mini chopper.
