Upadte: I changed to a #40 chain to see if that would help and ineed did not. It was still clunking and I also found that the tension is consitant. For example in one spot it feels solid good tension and then I turn the axel half way and the tension is loose. I tried reajusting everything still...

its a preditor 212 so like 5ish horse and its a 12T clutch to a 60T sproket,

Yes because I could see the chain bind or try to skip or something and the cluch is new,

Here are some more pictures post chain adjustment.

The chain is probably a couple of months old but I dont ride my kart often because of the lack of time. Im sure its still in fair shape because I also lubricate it. I just reajusted my chain tension to a point that I thought would be good it was a tiny bit looser than what I had before and...

Yes I oil the chain every few rides and both the sproket and clucth are #35 chain

Btw since I forgot to state my issues. My issue is that on first acceleration my chain is really janky and rough but when it gets up to speed it soomths out as shown in the second video.

Ignore everything after the 20 sec mark. I had to make the video three mins long to upload it.

So, I've always had this issue but I always found a easy issue such as a missalligned chain, chain tension, and a bent sproket. I belive I have fixed my chain tension and I have replaced my sproket and clutch but it still is rough. I've checked for stiff links and there doesn't appear to be any...

It definently would bend my axel 🤣. That was my biggest mistake was when I bought axel it was for my old mower wheels that were 3/4" and i regret not just stwitching a 1".

Idk why when I reply its like making three Im running a 12T max-tourque clucth with a 60T sproket. I mainly just ride around on the road so it does the job and gets me up to 34 mph 🤷‍♂. But yeah I know its jank buts its learning and I just want something functional. So I will be heading to the...

Idk why when I reply its like making three

Haha yeah its definitely not the best set up. So a little back story of how this monstrosity of a kart was built, is that my buddy gave me a frame and I just started throwing things on it and tried to make everything work. So thats why everthing is a little jank and I call it the scrap kart. But...

I recently installed a mechanical caliper and disk and I noticed the brake is very finicky. Ive tried adjusting things on my pedal and caliper and ive ran into two main issues. Either my disc rubs and when the pedal is pressed it brakes fully or when the disk doesn't rub the it only brakes half...
