Default Help with centrifugal clutch

Some weed whackers also have centrifugal clutches.

hello all

I need to buy a centrifugal clutch for motorizing my bike. The engine is a
31cc weedeater (yes I know those are not the best for this). My doubt
is that the clutches commonly available (mainly Comet, 4 inches) usually
are rated
rated 2.5 to 6 HP. I guess my engine can put about 1 HP., perhaps 1.5 HP
at
most. Is the engine underpowered for these clutches? I could get a trimmer
clutch but then the clutch seem to be small for the task.

Thanks in advance

Camilo
