Very good information man thank you. I have a tillitson 212e thats about 11.hp right now and thats cool #35 coule potentially hold up. I use #35 chain on my azusa minibike with a pumped upHonda GX160 and it does fine. I would use it with a clutch no problem but i would probably go 40# instead on...

Your good man, mistakes happen 😂

Im not the dude with the 30mph go kart, i was just saying a 420 geared properly has the potential to get pretty insane speed wise. I got a 11.5hp 346cc predator go kart stretched and slammed down low with a clutch thatll hit 59mph, it pulls like a sun of ***** and has the governor still, with...

I tighten the crank bolt at about 15ftlbs and use lock washers. Its been workin pretty good.

I wouldnt bolt a washer against the against the clucth on the front. Ive had it smush the metal in and when it comes time to pull the clutch drum off to clean it and the shoes, it makes it a pain in the ***. Then you gotta file it down to remove the drum Maybe it hasnt happened to you but its...

Yes it is ok. Does your clutch have set screws? Youll need em to hold the clutch in place. If you dont have set screws, your going to wanna get washers with the same size outer diameter as the clutches inner diameter and them to where the clucth is hanging off the shaft a bit. tYou dont want to...

Yea but still tho 420s are no joke. There mean motors. 30 is good for a kid his age. You could always gear it for more speed down the line.

Its cool your doing that with your son. It reminds me of when my dad put thag big ole honkin motor on the go-kart. It made me the cool kid in my small town. It would beat all the go karts and mini bikes i raced and would beat up on some quads and dirt bikes. I use to take it out just to find...

Yea mine only does it when i completely matt it from a stop. Other than that driving normaly it doesnt. When it does slam in and slightly drop in rpms, it doesn't seem to hurt my performance. I remember when i was 410 back in 2011, my dad went to harbor freight to get a predator 212cc and they...

Holy **** man thats a lot of motor for a 8 year old😂😂

Yea idk man ive never had that problem before and i got 3 bikes with a converter. Nice kart man. Looks like a solid foundation for a good project. The only thing i can think of thats similar to your problem is when i floor my coleman with a converter it revs up and slams in and kinda drops a few...

Hmm thats weird that they the 40 series does it. I havent had thag problem before but then again im running a small block and a 30 series. My stall is 2200rpms. The 420 makes max torque at 2500 rpms if i remember right, so a 2500rpm would be your ideal rpm for the converter to hold the engine...

So i see mini bikes and go karts commonly use #420, #40, 41# 35# and the occasional #50. And id like to get a better understanding on what chain is best for a particular application. Does any one use #40 or #41 chain on their machines? I dont see that many options for the two, but ive been...

That sounds like the max torque max lube clutch kinda deal. When you said bearing clutches need grease, i assume you are talking about the needle bearings right?

Right on man thanks for the information. Ill probably stick with the max torque then. I like that they are 1 piece u its and that their easy to disassemble. Yea i always buy the genuine ones. I see alot of knock off for cheap compared the real deal max torque. I think if i remember right. Max...
