    Go kart clutch smoking

    So I went to my local hardware store and picked up a couple of 3/4 inside diameter washers. I stuck them onto the shaft and the clutch was tightened down. so while i was watching one of tman's go kart video's he says that a bolt at the end of the shaft and set screws isnt a good idea. is this true?

    Go kart clutch smoking

    You can see that there is no room for a jack shaft. also im about 200 lbs and i need this thing to climb up about 20-35 degree hills, so a 72T would be great? also if i get a 72T the chain wont be like 1mm away from the tire

    the chain isnt tight at all, it has about 4/5 of an inch slack, it perfect, the noise is comming from the clutch and it also turned into a different color like it lost its paint, its now redish black
