ok I am trying to figure out how to attach pics.

Yes. there is no petcock nor fuel valve that I can find. I got home slightly before dinner and did want to smell like gasoline so I didnt mess with it today. the plan is to pinch the feed line with vice grips, remove the carb and do a good clean and inspect. it might be the weekend before I...

Yellow spring arrived today. ( from BMI) I am pretty sure i have a 10 tooth sprocket on the jackshaft so I will verify the bore size and see if I can order an 8 it turns out that the tecumpseh OOH60 starts one pull every time but on bumps it coughing and loosing power, a couple of times in the...

ok, I am trying to wrap my head around that. there are weights in the driven pulley?

its asymetrical 30 series genuine comet on this kart. I have seen that chart, and it lists 3 driven spring options, but gives ZERO information about them Rat, when you say belt stretcher, do you mean I shouldnt run the yellow spring? I will see what the smallest sprocket I can goto on the jack...

Yes, I need to count that one, the axle sprocket is already large enough that its close to stuff I crawl over, even with 18" tires My guess it is whatever came stock on this Yerf Dog 30002, since the rest seems to be stock stuff. I assume that to be a 10 driver, 60 sprocket. My property is not...

exactly, I want low geared stump pulling, not a hole shot. I have an old suzuki quad 4 wheeler, it stays in low usually ( 1st gear) and often Ultra low 1st gear. So I am too familar ( spoiled) with ultra low gearing)

Thank you Bob58o! that clarifies what I thought about the spring colors, and I had read about the 3 holes to fine tune. I very much appreciate you answering my questions! The 7" driven is what I have, lucky me! I will install the yellow spring and see what happens.

It spins the tires at take off if I floor it, and then it accelerates until I feel the ratio change and by then its too fast for my terrain.

sure, but I want that 129 ft lbs before the converter goes to its higher ratio.

I am perfectly happy with the RPM engagement point Do I still need to mess with it? if anything Id want it to engage at a lower RPM, assuming it makes enough power at lower RPM not to stall.

also here, he references the yellow spring as "stiffer" watch at 11:55 \\

see, this adds to the confusion in my head. "The driven comes with the green spring and it is under load in the middle hole "This is the stock set up" You can adjust it one hole to delay full overdrive; next step up requires buying the yellow spring to get more delay. " quoted from here...

nice! hard to even qualify that as a cart though, thats a fully on buggy! haha I rebuilt a TF727 years ago, I learned a lot.

yea, literally every automatic transmission from cars to heavy trucks uses bands to stop the drums and select gear ratios through the planetary
