Fine work, Makisupa. The jackshaft provides, I think, the low end grunt that a normal two sprocket setup can’t provide, so it’s more fun and you get a better takeoff when you gas it instead of a more gradual takeoff with clutch slippage(?) Somebody explain this to me. 🙃 Hey JimD, his clutch...

Amazing, really. Would you surmise that it’s made from before the time that planned obsolescence really kicked in (at Mach 1)? I have heard (rumors mostly) that most new appliances cannot be economically repaired and 30 years is way past the “honey, it’s time to buy a new one” phase. Add to that...

Coulda fooled me. I thought it was stock! 👷‍♂️ Anyway, did you fix it by shooting it with the Parts Cannon, still stalling, or what?

What kind of truck are you looking for? A Jeep qualifies as a truck; U.S. Army truck, 1/4 ton..... and there seems to be a glut of Jeep-bodied go kart/buggy/“ATVs”

:welcome2: 👋 The fiberglass truck bodies are out there but you have to be a crazed individual to find one, I mean 😵 heavy on the “search” button. Possom Point just found one. Maybe he could sell you the plastic one he was going to use...

I have a deck belt on an MTD mower that has been on it forever. It’s routinely soaked in Yak Fat (30 SAE engine oil) due to a “seeping” crank seal that dribbles oil on it, not to mention some blow-by or blow-out from a previously undiagnosed blown head gasket. Anyway, have heard of newer belts...

Hey Jim, per 4 out of 5 of those manuals, what is the tooth count on Reference 66, part number 4335? Says it’s a .75 bore “Max T” clutch.

As Edwin says, the kart came with a jackshaft (I forgot) so it was configured to work with one, with all the chain spacing and offset that a jackshaft “provides”. In your intro thread I posted the parts manuals, very helpful to see the way it was...

These are so cool.

Okay, so how did he triple the two-stroke power? It’s one of those annoying wordless video montages. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/A-hujxUkEeM

You’d make a good....

Can you post a photo of the whole kart/buggy? It’ll help folks in the future with the same issues— seeing the machine and the EFI it is installed on helps in troubleshooting. Searching for “TM 300xrx“ gets a bazillion different karts too in an image search.

I’ve got my popcorn ready for the coming collapse.

I personally prefer the term Yak Fat. Just rolls off the tongue. We need belt autopsies stat! I want them dissected and probed.

Did you put your arm out? It was a little hard to see. Just a word on that, which may not be so obvious to everyone: don’t put your hand out trying to stop a roll over or to “break your fall”, that usually results in a broken wrist, broken arm or worse. Might not be as much of a problem with...
