Gear facing inward towards the engine not outward or away from it. I should be good then, will have 6:1 ratio on it when everything is installed

What’s the recommended gear ratio for a mini bike? Also, does the clutch have to be installed backwards from how a go kart will be?

Picked up this mini bike frame the other day and looking for an ID for it. Looks like someone already stretched the frame which is perfect for me being a taller guy. Also attached picture of a similar one not stretched for reference.

Yeah I could see if theres space on that mounting bracket to do that and remove the spacer behind the clutch. How much play should there be in the chain? Also how much space should there be between the clutch sprocket and the larger axle sprocket?

So without that spacer behind the clutch, the sprocket on the clutch does not align with the larger wheel sprocket on the axle. Engine is all the way over as far as it will go in the mounting plate.

Clutch bolt either comes loose or is to tight and kart wont accelerate correctly. Any ideas? This is on Briggs 5hp

Anyone have a carter super wheels that can show me the proper way to connect the throttle cable to the spring on the throttle rod? The spring at the end of the throttle rod has a hole big enough for the throttle cable so Im guessing it goes through there and connects with a cable stop. Which I...

So I got a new carb, plug, air filter put on this motor, has been running up on blocks and idling fine. Put a new clutch, chain, and sprocket on this afternoon. Tightened everything and let the motor idle for a few minutes. Took it off the blocks and drove it around the yard and back before the...

I’ve got an extra 5 hp briggs classic engine Ive slowly been getting running again after replacing it with a predator. Now that its running, Im looking for other ideas for stuff that I can use it for. Already have a two seater and single seat kart so looking for other ideas. Don't have a welder...

What size and where do you get a thick spring to hook between the throttle on the carb and the engine to return it back to idle after pressing the gas? The spring currently attached isn’t large enough to bring the throttle all the way back. Pictures arent loading for some reason

Have an interesting noise coming from the briggs and stratton that came with a two seater I recently purchased. Engine does not currently run but does turn over. When rolling the go kart after about five feet I get almost a motorcycle sound like something is rubbing. Any idea what that might be...

So the bolt pattern on this rim is supposed to be 2 7/8, however it doesn’t align with the bolt holes in either the sprocket or the brake drum. Looking for some advice on how to fix this. Should I try hammering the bolt to bend it? Both the brake drum and sprocket could possibly be 2 13/16 as...

All, whats the best approach for removing the axle on a 1 wheel peel to replace it? Basically the rear axle is not long enough.

Ok so I need some advice, the spindles on my kart need to be cut off and replaced with longer ones. What’s the cheapest/safest/best approach to doing it including tools needed? Thanks

So I’ve run out of storage and reluctantly will have to store the latest kart out in the elements. That being said, what are some solid options to keep the moisture from ruining everything?
