All I'm doing is making a 5 to 1 gear ratio so I'm just going to find the chain size of the sprocket on the axle and have a 12 tooth to a 55

Never mind

So I have a chain but how do I know the chain number

Oh I know that's why I will have a 6inch pulley to a 3

Ok I need to know the speed of the jackshaft to axle ok so I have a 10 tooth to a 25 and on the other side of jack shaft is a 13 to a 55 tooth. I have 16 inch tires and I'm 150. Frame is about 100. Pounds. Engine is 212cc and or 3600rpm

Well ok but he didn't fracture it in

What I would do is just get a new engine. You don't know what's wrong so you spend money on parts that work fine is just wasting your money.I would get a new one that runs new, looks mew, and starts new. Problem solved

Really if you want lots of torque and speed use a lawn mower shifter box. That's what I'm doing. You can use vertical or horizontal engine and have a 8 inch pulley to a 3 or 3 1/2. And if the transmission has a sprocket, use a 12 to 60

The other thing is it probaly doesn't calculate the wheight in the equation. Really 160 plus your frame you are losing some speed trying to hall all the wait. And you didn't fracture in the torque converter.

No a fence but you might as well use bicycle wheels

They will work fine but not much width there

Well how big off hills. Steep mountains, small hills. Usually You would use a 1 to 6 gear ratio or 1 to 7. What speeds do you want if 35 or 30 use 16 inch tires

I've been watching some videos on you tube and it looks like it will work just fine almost to fine. If you want to see just search 5 speed go karts.

I think I'm going to try it and find out.

Ya add some braces it needs it
