I apologize if I added to the confusion. I wasn’t able to tell the pitch on the sprockets or chain by looking at the photos. I was trying to give options for 1/2” or 3/8” pitch. But there are also slight differences between #40, #41, #420, #428 that I can’t keep straight There are some fitment...

Since your building your own… You could price out the parts to mount the jackshaft to the frame. Tou can buy 40 series driver, driven, and belt. Some 3/4” pillow block bearings. A 3/4” keyed jackshaft. A 3/4” bore #530 10T sprocket. Some 3/4” lock collars. Should be able to get everything for...

I don’t have experience using 40 series TAV with the self mounted shafts using the backplate. I believe the cheaper options are like this one posted here. You’ll notice 40 series TAV usually come with 3/4” jackshaft, larger than the 5/8” ones that come on 30 series. Again you would need to...

The axle kit looks like it comes with a 58T #530 sprocket and chain. The torque converter comes with #41. One is 1/2” pitch. One is 5/8”. They are not compatible. You would need to swap out the 10T #41 for a #530 sprocket. The TC kit linked uses a 5/8” jackshaft so the sprocket would need a...

To add suspension without adding suspension, large, low pressure, balloon type tires in the rear will give your ride some cushion. Maybe something like 19” rear tires? Then find a wheel to fit the tires you want. The tire size will need to match the gear ratio so let us know what pitch and tooth...

If using 1/2” pitch rear sprocket, then yes you could probably use a 1/2” pitch 10T clutch and you’d be ok with a 45 or 50T sprocket. You wouldn’t need a jackshaft. If using 3/8” pitch, then I believe the smallest sprocket You’ll find on a 20mm bore clutch is 12T. With a #35 12T clutch, you’d...

And if the other sprocket is #35, 45T and you want to use that, I’d probably get the same stuff but get an 18T jackshaft sprocket instead of the 24T (keeping all other stuff the same). Both would give you a final reduction in the 4.6 : 1 to 4.8 : 1 range and should be ok for 11” tires. About 38...

Well if you are keeping the rear sprocket and it is #35 32T… I’d probably get a 20mm 12T #35 clutch, A Jackshaft kit with 5/8” shaft, A 5/8” bore #35 24T sprocket to connect to the clutch, And a 5/8” bore #35 14T sprocket to connect to the axle sprocket. and enough #35 chain for both sets of...

Diameter… so you could find a replacement sprocket hub if you needed to. The 16T is probably only good if you want to shoot for that top speed we started with. For practical driving, you’ll want smaller tooth count

If you must keep the rear sprocket, identity what type of chain it needs. Then confirm the size of the crankshaft. You’d need a clutch and jackshaft sprockets that match the pitch of the rear sprocket. If it’s a 3/4” crankshaft, and a 1/2” pitch rear sprocket, you might be able to use a 30...

The only way I see a 32T sprocket working is if a jackshaft can be added…. Then going 12 on clutch to 22on jackshaft, then 12 on other jackshaft sprocket to 32 on rear…

US chain pitch is measured 1/8” increments. Chains that start with 2 are 2/8” pitch. Chains that start with 3 are 3/8” pitch. Chains that start with 4 are 4/8” pitch. Chain that start with 5 are 5/8” pitch. most common karting chains are 3/8” or 4/8” (1/2”) so most chains start with 3 or 4 like...

What are your intentions with the kart? Race? Back yard? Streets? Open highway? Sand Dunes? …. I’m assuming it is a racing kart cause the 10” tires. Show some photos. was this the 20mm shaft engine? Or am I confusing two people? what pitch is the rear sprocket? #35? #420?

With 10” tires, 22 lb springs, stock camshaft, … It might turn what? 6000 RPM? Just guessing. Maybe 6500 RPM? 6250 RPM, 10” Tires, 2:1 ratio… 93 miles per hour…. 2 : 1 ratio doesn’t work. Clutch slips and burns you until 30 mph. You’ll need a clutch with less than 16T. Because rear tires are...

TBH, a kart that has a lot of TQ is more fun and drivable than one that goes 62mph. Unless you have the space (or track) to drive it at 60 mph for long periods. You give up a lot of things that make a kart fun. When you build a race car, it doesn’t idle well, hard to start, can’t do stop and go...

Gear ratio will depend on tire size. 62 mph in a kart using a 200cc snow thrower engine isn’t easy. 2 : 1 gear ratio smells like burnt clutch from my house. The camshaft is the brains of the engine. A stock camshaft isn’t gunna get you 100km / h. What size diameter tires do have? With 13”...

I’m sure it’s possible to modify a clone engine to get to 62 mph on some sort of vehicle. Not sure what stage 3 means. I don’t buy “stage X” kits. 8000 RPM, 13” tires, 5:1 gearing, a light vehicle, a light driver, a decent clutch, and an engine set up to give you the power you need above 7500...
