Gear ratio is 5:1 (12t clutch, 60t drive sprocket). 37mph. Only 17mph with the jack shaft on.

Thanks for your input. To answer my own question… Yes, all I had to do was flip the clutch around and make a few modifications to the drive wheel. Now I got rid of the jack shaft.

Has anyone ever seen a set up like this before? What’s the purpose of it? Could I just flip the clutch around and connect the chain directly to the drive sprocket, or would it be best to leave it this way?

I remembered the pic, just forgot to hit the upload button. I’d remember the beer, just forget to pay for it lol. Yes the center hole goes all the way through.

Here’s the whole engine.

Hi all. My 13 year old son. Bought a kart, an engine and a box of parts off of a friend. The engine is an Intek 190, 5.5hp. My question is...what is this on the shaft? Why is it there and how do I get it off? There aren’t any set screws on it. The clutch won’t go on with it there.
