So, that lower sprocket has 60 teeth. Is it necessary for us to get a 68 tooth sprocket? We will commonly have riders weighing up to 250. Also will I need to change out any parts or simply leave the #40 chain and sprockets and replace the clutch and #35 sprocket?

Which sprocket do you need a tooth count on, the lower #40 sprocket (has the most teeth of all my sprockets)? As far as the gear ratios go, I don't know anything about proper gear ratios, do you have any good guides for explanation? We will be driving this kart on an off road track through the...

I apologize if I'm not using the correct terminology(corrections are always welcome). The jackshaft is 9 1/2" in length with 1/2" bore on the small end and 3/4" on the bigger end. The sprocket that appears to be permanently attached to the jack shaft has 10 teeth and the "pitch" (distance from...

I already have the jackshaft taken apart and will send pictures of it as soon as I get home. Forgive me and my stupid questions, I am very ignorant as far as mechanical things go. will I have to do anything different with the lower chain? what is the best way to measure the axle sprocket? I...

I'm running a predator 212 cc. I can post more pictures when I get off work.

We have a go-kart that had an after market sprocket and clutch put on in replacement of a torque converter. the bore of the shaft is 1". I'm not sure what specifics are important when shopping for torque converters, or the best place to buy one. We can post pictures/ measurements to help with...

how do i need to measure the shaft? thanks so much man. ---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ---------- What are the benefits of a torque converter? Would i need a new clutch and or chain/belt? IM running a #35 chain and the diameter of the shaft is 1/2...

here is everything pulled off. The two silver pieces on the end were bolted together, I guess as a makeshift sprocket?

do i need a special tool to get this off?

pics I pulled the entire shaft, here are the pictures. Also just wanted to thank you all for taking the time to post. We appreciate your help. let me know what else I can pull or measure? I'm at a loss as to what is or is not relevant. It is a 20 tooth sprocket by the way.

I havent tried yet, I was a little intimidated, which is why I came to you guys, but I sure can take it apart and post some pictures though

pictures of whole kart The guy we bought it from didnt give much information. It had a transformer sticker on the front. To find the parts that I have ordered so far I have looked up Trailmaster Mid XRS.

this a closer picture of the specific part

Me and my two brothers bought a gokart as a fun prject/learning experience, so please bear with me because we are very new to anything mechanical. When we bought this gokart we knew the clutch was fried and the (what I'm guessing is the) upper sprocket had most of its teeth missing. we replaced...
