Thanks,everyone for your advice. This is how we did it: Locked the flywheel in place with a strap and used a wrench to grab it. Worked a charm. Thanks! AJ

A C Spanner! That's totally what I've been looking for! I love the idea of a rope in the teeth of a wrench too. Could be the cheapest way. Thanks!

That's excellent advice, guys! I'll try it all systematically until I can get the thing off.

Thanks gentlemen! I appreciate the advice! I'll give it a shot. AJ

I'm not awesome with mechanics, but a friend in the know told me that I need to get this nut off the crankshaft to expose the kotter pin (or woodruff key) so we can find out if it's been sheared off. I took a picture of it and placed it above. Can anyone tell me what kind of tool will take this...

Just in case anyone else is stuck like I was, I found some in almost the same specifications on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Inner-Tube-10x4-50-5-TR87-Bent-Stem-10X450-5-/350277110553?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D2110144683916709957...

Sounds great. I'll call the tire shops and offroad shops around here and see if I can find it. Must be a crazy size.

Thanks! I found the stickied post and I'm checking all those sites for my parts. I also checked Ace Hardware and found this tube: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1399735&kw=tire+tube&origkw=tire+tube&searchId=57747996393 Fits 10" dia. inflatable tires Size: 4.10/3.50 x...

Bump! Anyone here have experience buying tubes for gokart tires?

I bought an old electric go kart from a family fun center that closed down. I'm currently in the process of stripping out all the electrical components and putting an 8hp B&S engine on it with a CVT. It's in pretty rough shape and this is my first real mechanical project. N00b alert. Anyway...
