A centrifugal clutch () includes a drive plate () to be directly rotatably driven by drive force of an engine. The drive plate () includes swing support pins () and protrusions (). The swing support pin () is fitted in a pin slide hole () formed at a clutch weight (), and swingably supports the clutch weight (). The protrusion () includes a cylindrical roller, and contacts a driven portion () of the clutch weight (). The pin slide hole () is formed in a long hole shape allowing the clutch weight () to displace backward in a rotary drive direction of the drive plate (). The driven portion () is formed to extend inclined outward to a rear side in the rotary drive direction of the drive plate ().
