That’s just Denny. He has multiple accounts across multiple platforms saying the same thing. It’s like a bot farm.

So it basically came undone? Was the bolt on the driver shaft sort of loose like it unscrewed itself? I’m trying to visualize the issue. If true, I am surprised that the bolt didn’t exit stage left and let the driver cartwheel itself off the kart into regions unknown. . . . .

When you put in the bolt that holds the driver clutch on the engine, put some blue thread locker on it. If you have a torque wrench and a strap wrench ( to keep it from spinning ), torque it to 25 lb. ft. Also, running that type of air filter ( and probably a bigger jet ) you will gain performance from using a header style exhaust.

I mentioned a header (which is usually included in the Stage 1 kits) but I was very surprised to see the big cone filter and the stock box muffler. Noise might be the issue so I suggest an RLV exhaust tip or a Briggs 294599 which requires a pipe with threads on the tip. If anything, ditch the very restrictive factory muffler and keep the superior stock air cleaner *and a bigger jet if needed.
The 212 Rotaderp has an abundant D shaped exhaust port but it is quite strangled by the smaller diameter pipe "elbow" on the factory box muffler. It feels a lot more responsive with a header/straight pipe.
