so in other words.... 23mph is being optimistic lol

23mph? thats it? jesus i thought i was going faster lol

Im trying to figure out how to measure my speed without adding a gauge or driving next to a vehicle. Is it possible to use a formula that uses 3600rmp, 10 tooth drive sprocket, 60 tooth driven sprocket? Or does the driven sprocket not actually turn at 3600rmp (max rpm for my engine).

every 6-7 pulls it's like a loud backfire, would that mean that the spark is there?

i dont understand what you guys are saying, the engine ddint completely stop as soon as i started going over the dirt. i went probably about 20 feet throwing up a crapload of dirt then it stopped. If it is the flywheel key, that's in the inside right?

the exhaust, after like every 6-7 pulls

So my son and i were hauling it through a cane field when we suddenly ran over a huge mound of soft dirt. Dirt flew up from under the seats, it was everywhere. The engine immediately cut off. The air filter was covered with dirt so i took it off and tried starting the engine. Didnt work. After a...

thanks to everyone

thanks, but what about the length of the entire chain? or do the lengths also coincide with the chain# ?

I have an old thunderkart and the chain has stretched to the point to where it sometimes falls off. I've moved the engine forward as much as possible but the chain is just too long. How do I measure the chain to see what size it is?

is there suppose to be some sort of washer or something between the clutch and the engine? I took the clutch off and realized that there wasnt anything.

the old clutch worked fine, I just couldnt get it off of the old engine. The new one idles low, the clutch doesnt engage unless i give it gas. Guess I'll try taking it off and cleaning it up.......

it's the same size/type clutch that was on there with the previous motor and i never had a problem with it. I dont think i can change the driven sprocket. It's attached in a way that I cant take it off. Why would that be the problem though considering its worked fine before. i had a 5hp on...

exactly what part am i suppose to oil?

No im not sure its not just contaminants or excessive oil. It also does stay outside. Nothing is leaking, it just smokes. it's possible I put oil where I wasnt suppose to. It's also might have sprayed some wd40 on it. Should I drive it for a few minutes just to see if it stops?
