Ok guys, I work on this thing two hours a week so it's ddrrraaaagging along slowly. After setting the engine in place and shifting it as far left as it will go, the sprocket on the driven is still about 1/2 inch or so too far inboard in relation to the jackshaft sprocket..Has anyone had this...

Hey gang, I am refurbishing a Carter kart. Have a brand new electric start Honda GX 200 on board. I am looking to replace the original lights with a little LED light bar. Can anyone help me find a relatively inexpensive version? I don't need a $300 rigid or Cree. Thanks in advance!!

Sorry itsid, misspelled your name. Not a good way to start things off!!!

So itsed, you've got me covered on throttle. Anything else I may run into? Starter setup with key on dash? Running light setup? Brake connected to throttle,etc? Thanks again for all your help!!

Hey guys, I'm new so please be patient. I plan to use a Honda GX 200 to replace the Tecumseh Powersports engine that was stock on the Carter 2936 that we recently acquired. Is that a good engine choice? Is it a fairly easy job? Thanks in advance! My kids are tired of me thinking about it and...
