CVT vs Centrifugal Clutch

[Hellion]

Oooh is it bad that I am making these separate threads?

I dunno, I blame the other guys for not keeping up hahaha. I like that you are putting stuff out there and are quick with replies and photos.

[EDIT:] you're at school! These old-er fellas need to cut you some slack on account of that. W.T.R. needs to click on your name and read all your postings. If he had, he'd know your skill level and beginner/advanced/expert status or whatever.

[EDITx2:] Here's the 3 women you must not disappoint...

Good to know you got the corrected version. They had used the rack and pinion from their rider lawnmower which wasn't a very good idea but it did help to get rid of parts but go karts don't go the same speed as a rider lawnmower and they got manhandled entirely different. You have the better version.

Cleaner version for the future lol.

The comet 30 series CVT is generally the go-to for go karts and mini bikes. You get lower ratio for starting off then generally you get an over drive ratio at the top end, somewhere around a 0.90:1 for overdrive and low end is about 2.68:1, so just over two and a half times the sprocket ratio overall. Say you're at around 6:1 with a clutch and sprocket, effectively at the bottom end you're at 16.08:1 and at the high end cruising about a 5.4:1.
