Thanks Joe, Not a clutch.. but rather a component of my flywheel assy. It's a "direct-drive" set-up.
The part in question was made from 1/2" cast-acrylic sheet using a CNC router. I CAD-designed the parts when I worked at a sign company years ago.
I also made parts from Sintra (PVC sheet) and varying thicknesses of aluminum; all of them having 1/8" dia. center-holes.
I used a combination of parts to make an assembly that would "grip" an O-ring for starting the engine.. and also to provide some inertial weight.
The 1/8" center-holes in these parts fit the crankshafts' 5-40 size machine-screw thread in the Cox .049/.051 engines perfectly, for vibration-free running.
I fitted one of my electric starters with a similar flywheel assy. for engaging the O-ring/belt-start system.
