    Manco XTK 706b renew and mods

    Thanks. I took apart my driven pulley to see if you can adjust the spring pulley. I understand there are 2 additional holes for this purpose, just like the 30 series CVT's. It looks like I would need to drill these holes, have not done this yet. I added an intake and header, helped a bit...

    Manco XTK 13hp revival

    Can I do that with a 40? I know it's done with the 30 series, but did not see the adjustment holes for the 40 series.

    Hello, New project!

    @ gokartsfolife- Assuming 1:1, with the 40 series. JS sprocket is 10 tooth, axle sprocket is 60 tooth. @ landuse- I think they are, looked fine with a straight edge.

    Manco XTK 13hp revival

    First timer, engine opinions please!

    Ok, I'm liking the simplicity of a 6.5 horse & 30 series. Any ideas where I can get a 30 series? Will it bolt up to the 6.5 hp HF engine? Also, any links to a pic or two that shows this setup? I'm a little unclear on the idea. Thanks for your help!

    Sound advice, thank you! I was also thinking about a HF 6.5 engine. Would an 11 hp with a 40 series comet be do able also?

    First timer, engine opinions please!

    Hey guys, just picked this up & not sure what it had engine wise originally. What I'm planning on is some pavement & some off-roading with this one, just would like plenty of power for some decent hill climbing & decent speed. It has a 60 tooth sprocket & disc brake. What engine/setup would...
