    Jack shaft ratios?

    Yea, i've had about a dozen over the years. 68 and up 1600cc are rated at 60hp. With stock carb they make great buggys. But I saw a conversion at Daytona bug fest last year and had to give it a try. still in the building stage at this point. hope to have it done by late spring...

    Jack shaft ratios?

    Can someone tell me how to calculate the jack shaft sprocket sizes? got a baja motorsports frame with a 19" rear tire, 54 tooth rear sprocket, 10 tooth clutch on a 6.5 Tecumseh OHV. This is a bare frame project I am building. Building a crawler, not wanting a speed demon.
