Murray explorer 212 predator Filter and jet Seat from jegs. Already want more speed!😃

I finally have my cart together and have driven a few times. I'm pretty happy with but started to look at gearing lately. I only have a little over a 1/2 acre to drive on so I want this thing to accelerate a little better as there is just not enough room to really get going. Below is my setup...

Great! I figured as much. We're rounding third now!

I have a question about mounting this engine. If I use the existing holes in the mounting plate, the clutch sticks out too far with the spacer on it. Is it better to take off the spacer and use existing mounting holes or leave the spacer and drill new mounting holes? Any down side to either option?

Yet another proble So the go kart I bought was basically in pieces. The cart has a factory jackshaft yet the guy I bought from threw old parts away and bought a tav30 kit. Not wanting to change the setup, the plan was to use the driven pulley from the tav kit on the jackshaft. The jackshaft...

Alrighty. Had to take the long way around and remove whole motor mount because of a lack of clearance. Most is off though. Can I pull the rest off with the puller too? And that guard plate, is it necessary? It is bent to **** and back. Thanks.

Well fellas nothing is working for getting this pulley off. I have 3 arm pulley puller on it (tightened all the way) and it is not budging. Any ideas. It has been soaking in pb.

Sid. I got clip but the rest must be seized. So much so that I thought it might be threaded. I am hoping that when I get the pulley free, I will be able to push the shaft back a littlle so I can actually get the pulley out of there. Thanks again!

Anyone have any idea how to attack this? Can't seem to get a wrench on it

Understood. I believe since this is a junk engine anyway I am going to just get a longer drive belt and stick to the original layout. I'll save the other option for the motor swap. I just want to be able to enjoy it running for a while Thanks fellas!

i believe i understand you both but they seem to be two different ideas. bimmer seems to be saying to scrap the original set up in sense that he would get rid of the pulley on the left side of the kart (pic 1) and disconnect the chain on the right side. Then slide the axle sprocket over to the...

Yeah that is another thought I had. Would it be easier to see if I can just flip the motor so tq is on axle sprocket side if I can't get moved? It didn't seem like all these speakers were necessary.

Ok so I bought this cart and it came with a torque converter kit that hadn't been installed. I've have that all mocked up but have a stupid question. It didn't come with a chain but I have guessed that I need a #35 chain (torque converter came with a 12 tooth). What I don't understand is how...

I'm new to carting and just picked up this cart yesterday for $150. Looks like I will be on this board a lot! I read a lot of threads before I signed up and there looks to be a bunch of great people here. And tons of great info!
