Thanks for the advice yall. I got quite a bit done. Billet rod, lightweight flywheel, Series 30 TC, and complete gov delete. Then I found in order to move that billet mounting plate far enough to the left to align the axle and TC gears I had to also use a ~2" riser mount as well, otherwise the...

My crankshaft is 3/4" For the sprocket to axle gear offset I did the following: -moved engine as close to tire as possible -installed clutch spacer on crankshaft -installed clutch backwards onto crankshaft (sprocket toward engine) -placed a straight edge along both the sprocket and gear...

I do see that a jackshaft kit costs about the same as the engine relocation plate so I'm leaning toward using a jackshaft. This is because in addition to the 4 engine mounting bolt holes on the bottom, my chassis also has 2 holes running back to front. These 2 "bolt" holes are for what I would...

It was a gift. But I did pick it out based on the frame. Dealing with that website was THE WORST though. Absolute sh!tshow. Probably reported to the BBB. Gave up on getting all the parts I had ordered and went elsewhere for them. Had gotten a smaller engine kart from them too and it was so...

Tons of great info and I will get those measurements before moving forward. I need to figure out what a jackshaft is as I've seen them mentioned but don't think I've actually seen the device/part before. Assuming the VM22 is still a good fit, the added torque may make the 224cc swap worth it...

We probably hit 30mph on the driveway, less on the mowed lawn. The sprocket is on the outside/tire-side of the clutch. I'll take a look at the kit/video again and see if anything obvious stands out as to why it would not fit. I have thought about a bigger engine and may do that one day but I...

I'm now more familiar with what kills a clutch or rather their preference to full throttle. I guess it is possible that the driver was trying to baby the throttle while stuck. But when I was driving (220lbs or so) it did feel like it could use "more". The gear ratio stuff I haven't researched...

And I really wouldn't mind if it were a bit faster which is why I was thinking internals (speed/RPM) as well as the TC (offroad). But I'm new to karts, aside from driving a couple farm-made ones back in the 80's.

The kart did well on a crushed gravel driveway and mowed grass but when turning sharply (U-turn) at the end of the driveway it would encounter taller grass and not have the power to continue. The 80lb driver had to get out and manually lift/turn it around. Then it powered back up the driveway...

I am hoping to find some help in planning out 196cc engine build. Its my first time dealing with engine internals and appreciate any advice! If any additional photos or info is needed just let me know. History: Got a new "Sport Cart" from gokartsusa website...
