WTB A400/A490 crankshaft - Thenixguru - 03-11-2017
I'm looking for a good A400/A490 crankshaft for a motor I'm building for my 59 Bug.
Anybody got one that they would be willing to part with?

The crankshafts are different.
A490 has a ball bearing on the PTO side of the crankshaft.
Looking for new, or used?

Terry is the Clinton man, but if he doesn't have a crank, PM me and I'll give you my phone No. Ted

Well it does has ball bearings on the PTO side so it would be an A490
new, or used? I don't care as long as it's a good usable crank and not roached.

As Chuck knows, I am playing Easy Rider in Daytona, but I should be home tonight or tomorrow.
I know I have new cranks, not sure about good used ones.
I also have pretty much anything you might need to get a Clinton going.
I have a few Bugs too!

No big hurry, LOL I've been working on this kart off and on for about 2 years, but I would like to get this motor up and running, it's the last piece of the puzzle well besides a clutch.
I was planning on just getting a 5/8 bore regular max-torque clutch for it, I read a thread somewhere someone said they work just fine on the A400/A490's.

The standard MaxTorque clutch will be fine. Try to keep the ratio at least 6:1

Willie,
I have a few used cranks that are functional, but not pretty.
PTO maybe marked, drilled, etc. - $25
I have new cranks for $75
