What does 35 Chain Size mean on the clutch?

Have a fixed axle frame. I went to Northern Tool and I can see how the clutch goes on the shaft of the engine (though I don't know how to bolt the clutch on there) and I know the drive chain connect the clutch to the sprocket. I don't understand what I connect the sprocket to to get it to...

I'm trying to decide on using this frame or trying to find another. I was hoping for opinion. Thank you. My thoughts are to scrap it and get another but I am not sure.

From Northern Tool: Brake Band and Drum — 4in. Dia. Drive Sprocket — 40 Tooth Drive Chain #35 Hilliard Extreme-Duty Centrifugal Clutch — 5/8in. Bore, 12 Tooth, 35 Chain Size I will have a used or harbor freight horizontal shaft engine, probably 5 hp or so. The frame is a fixed axle frame...

I don't know where anything goes or how to do it. Thank you.

Not sure what to do next. I have an engine and I have a go-kart frame from the junkyard (the engine is not from the junkyard.) Do I just bolt the engine to the frame and buy a couple of sprockets and a chain (is it a timing chain?) What size sprocket do I get? Thanks for advice.

Can I use 110 amp welder to make a frame?

Just curious how powerful a 3.5 - 5.5 hp engine is. Will is more a 200lb person? 400?

Do they really do anything or is it for looks? What would larger on the front be bad? Four small equal sized tires? I know that sounds stupid but I wondered what it would matter. I don't understand the physics of it. Thanks.

I don't want to buy a new one. Junkyard? What do you folks use? What HP? Thanks.

Never use an angle grinder until today. It is taking much longer than I thought. I thought the paint would just come right off. It doesn't always to that:ack2: Is it suppose to be a laborious task? Is there a solvent that can be applied first? I don't mind the hard work, if that's what it...

On my kart the brakes are "paddle" that are pulled against the tires and slow it. Since this is my first cart, and I got the frame out of the junkyard. I did not really know what I was doing. I also grabbed some bigger tires off a riding lawnmower there too. What I found out today was the...

Please look at the image. What do I do for the floor and seat? Thank you for any help.

Hi, I got a go kart frame from the junk yard. I want to clean the paint off it if and repaint it. Do I use an angle grinder for that? How big and what amp? Will the cheaper 5 amp do? What size wheel? 4? 4.5+? Most of the body is clean, almost no rust. However the nut on one of the back...

Can you use a pushmower axle for a go kart?
