I have a bunch of snowmobile parts available to me, so this is something I'm looking at as a viable option.
I've already considered an automatic clutch for a motorcycle Diesel conversion when my dad bought a Honda XLX 350-R a few years ago, which I was going initially to do a restoration and a flexfuel (gasoline/ethanol) conversion. As far as automatic clutch goes, the best option so far seems to be a Rekluse, which is pretty easy to setup the engagement speed, and some of its kits still allow to retain the clutch lever which is useful to ensure a safe start-up.
