Centrifugal clutch for a 7/8 shaft ?

My son and I are building up neat project, and have a 8 hp Briggs motor, has a 7/8 shaft, no key, has a tappered lead, with internal thread on the end, we think the motor was off a generator. Can anyone help us find a centrifugal clutch to fit this shaft ?

Thanks
John

they do make a 7/8 clutch,but you will probable have to turn your crankshaft down and keyway it before you can use it and if you can't do it yourself(free). it might be cheaper to look for a motor with a keyway shaft.

We put a 1 inch cen. clutch on, by bushing the shaft up to 1 inch, then we put the engine on my Dad's mill and machined a key, pretty cool !
