    Simplex / Valiant Manufacturing Co.

    Those look amazing. Wish I could ride one to school, but now that's illegal. Now I need to get an ebike with twice as much power for it to be legal.

    Cheap Chinese TC? / A lesson in rushing purchases.

    Fair, I gotta go to Google first. My bad man.

    Cheap Chinese TC? / A lesson in rushing purchases.

    I do have a jackshaft. Is there a pro/con to a 20/30/40 series? I have seen that the standard is 30, but does the symmetric/asymmetric really matter? Edit: I have an off-road cart with big tires. It has ~7 hp. The Google answers talk about heavier duty, but don't know what that is considered.

    Cheap Chinese TC? / A lesson in rushing purchases.

    I'm almost positive it is 3/4, however, is 30 series the measure of the driven or is that something else? I am trying to be sure I have the right ebay find before dumping money. I can find the bore, and driven size, but not the drive pulley size, is the series the drive size?

    Small Engine Motor Madness 🤪

    Man your not stuck in an era. I am currently in highschool and that stuff drives me crazy. Doesn't sound like age, just common sense. Quite frankly it is rare sense in the modern world. Edit: Not saying people in this forum lack common sense, but at my school and in life they certainly do.

    Cheap Chinese TC? / A lesson in rushing purchases.

    What dimension is 1"? I am looking at Ebay and a lot of them list a driven size and a drive bore but not a drive diameter. Does the diameter of the drive pulley not really matter? I don't doubt you got it cheap, but without going into politics, the recent tariffs have raised prices from where I...

    Cheap Chinese TC? / A lesson in rushing purchases.

    Hello, Sorry it has been so long. Over the winter I got a ton of snow so that put all of my kart stuff on pause. I know I should have checked and tried to answer questions, but I didn't and I am sorry. I was looking to get a CVT. I want to get a decent belt but for the pulleys I need them as...

    CVT vs Centrifugal Clutch

    Oooh is it bad that I am making these separate threads?

    CVT vs Centrifugal Clutch

    No rack, it I don’t know what to call it. Two arms come to a ball joint that moves on another arm connected to the steering column.

    Thanks for warning me about gps!

    CVT vs Centrifugal Clutch

    Alright so I have almost everything figured out thanks to y’all’s help. However, I heard somewhere that messing with gear ratios on a centrifugal clutch is a bad idea. It was in an unrelated forum I made asking about governors. If I get a CVT would that make my kart faster or not. I know this...

    CVT vs Centrifugal Clutch

    So, I found one that claims to work with Murray explorers on gopowersports. The reason I am asking about this is because someone said screwing with the ratios would be bad on a centrifugal clutch. I also am wondering if the cvt would replace the chain drive in the second pic. P.S. I’m in study hall.

    CVT vs Centrifugal Clutch

    Well, I do kinda deserve that, I am at school so I can’t measure the tires or count that sprockets yet. I do have pics on my phone tho. Not of the actual clutch assembly sadly. I think the rear tires are 18 inch. Are most converters a standard size? How do I know if the one I get will fit? I...

    CVT vs Centrifugal Clutch

    What do you mean 30 series? I’m new to this, can you give me a good link? Also, would just getting a CVT increase my speed/be adjustable?

    CVT vs Centrifugal Clutch

    I was recently debating changing the gearing on my kart. Someone mentioned using a CVT and it seemed like a good idea. I have ~7hp, and I can only do like 14 on a 200lb kart. I really only want to get up to around 25mph. Can you even really (easily ish) convert from centrifugal to torque...

    Hall Effect Tachometer Magnet Inbalance?

    No, just the sprocket on the drive axle. It gives me more room to work.

    Hall Effect Tachometer Magnet Inbalance?

    No problem, thanks for your help!

    Is a governor delete really worth it?

    I just give it some choke until it gets to temp. It does want to stall out a little when cold every so often. I never screwed with the idle after I brought it. It was used so it is how it was from the previous owner.

    Hall Effect Tachometer Magnet Inbalance?

    In that case I will just add a weight or make it have dual magnets. I am just gonna use the spark to do tach so this would be for speeds. I am somewhat confused by your wording, as magnets come in packs I would bolt two through holes on the drive sprocket at either end of the sprocket. If I get...
