Which sprocket? Might be time to start taking things apart for inspection. If the chain(s) and sprockets are still 420 per the specs, you may buy some bulk 420 chain and learn to break chain. Buy a spare 420 master link too and a chain tool might help.

Nah, some sneaky moderator did that. Was wondering when/if you’d notice 😄 :cheers2:

I must conclude the Subaru Robin engine is original to the kart, it is highly unlikely to be a replacement engine as they “don’t grow on trees” or as abundantly as other engines. I have heard it described as a high end, quality engine possibly on par with Honda and parts will be expensive just...

See, now this is why we are always hollerin‘ for pics up front. It saves time… 🤯 😳 🙄 and aggravation Now that we can clearly see the kart already has a torque converter/CVT, you don’t need a new one. Just service the old one. Our team of experts will be by shortly to advise.

It’s weird, I have found the best engine deals inside the Parking Lot Sales, but Kartorbust found a coupon running concurrently with the P.L.S. for the basic 212cc and it’s not in the flyer. Sales sales sales all the time. I have never been able to buy the parking lot when they put it up for...

What’s the tooth count on all those sprockets, Partsguy? I want to plug them into a speed calculator that has the jackshaft option. 🤓 Max rpm on your engine?

Love the tire/wheel changes, dude. And that last photo with the smoke…. :cool: Your trike has gone through several design changes or ideas just in this one thread. An interesting evolution to say the least.

There’s always spammers here, some just get through. Wouldn’t want them all stopped, they’re fun to zap.

I'd part out everything that's not broken on that motor. What tire size was on it before and what's on it now? Suspect they are a bit shorter than stock which makes the kickstand too long. We've been beating the drum on the sporty cone filters not actually filtering anything (except bugs)...

Wow, absolutely fascinating and a massive photo dump is icing on the icing. This is how engines die, at the hands of Bubba and bad info (just bypass the governor, bro) on the internet. They always say "oh it's fine" and it is ....for a while. :wai: :wai: :wai: "Beautiful" chaos in those photos. 🤩

It is, but I feel the engine is migrating south. I swear I've seen them with the engine more in the middle of the frame as it suits better, more neutral handling but idk.

Oh I see. Just forge on ahead, it'll be fine and I second what Pancho said. I don't know if anyone here has specifically done a Trailmaster Cheetah 8 + a Tillotson but I am almost certain someone has done the equivalent. Many crazily similar Chinese buggies have been dragged home as a derelict...

I think Stokes' kart has a jackshaft so that may make a difference or be utilized when adding a CVT. Idk. I looked at the exploded parts diagram, that's all.

Neat kart. Suspect it is a combination solid throttle rod (at the front of the kart) and uses a flexible throttle cable for the back half. Might be a specialized part that can be found online, but it looks the the cable’s sheath is clamped to the frame on the right side of pic #1 while the...

Chonda engine is shipping from Rialto, CA. No slow boat direct from China so the amount of handling (gorilla abuse) should be less...

:welcome2::thumbsup: EDIT-- Forgot my sign girls: They don't believe what you said. They think you're a poser. Many such posers on the internet. 😏

Some more Ken-Bar karts found around the web: A Rupp/American Express style frame. I think it is the KB-750 A-Bone from the 1986 brochure. Note the "angle iron" pedals with the circular pedal pads. Ken-Bar S-465 "Rebel" with original parts, seat cushion, safety flag, engine

By the way, I don't believe you have a Cloeman.

Welp, post #3 nailed it. 🚫⛽ It's often something stupid.

You nutjob! The dog had your full blessings to do it, so I blame you. 😁
