Why yes, I know all about them since they were originally made for Sears and then they got cancelled. Sears like to have specials made so you would have to come back to them to get the parts. The crankshaft was 1/2" longer than standard. Standard being 2.297 They also wanted 5mm pitch and...

Rotary went to the same supplier Comet and Max-Torque used to make the belts. They buy quality , good family business in Georgia.

Since you have shown me the cover of the t/c I was going to suggest drilling as many holes as you can into it to let out the heat build up which helps to ruin any belt. The series 30 is wedging the belt up and down on the inside sheave versus rolling with the angle of the pulley on the series...

How about a picture of the cover over the t/c?

When they stopped building karts in the United States in 2005, BMI (Barhorst Manufacturing Inc) bought up a lot of the kart manufacturing assets. They have a HUGE multi buildings stock of parts. They are located in Ohio and he has one heck of a lot of stuff. He even has crates of WWII Harley...

That is a great engine, right up there with a Honda. Try and salvage the engine for sure.

Been there and I cry with you. Better than a good woman, because a dog NEVER complains and is always there to cheer you up and say I missed you pal, let's go for a walk.

Ed -- we might have to send Denny over there to check that out. You made me look again and you are right that extension on the engine may be a a clutch housing. And I looked at the sprocket again and wonder if that is being held in place with a set screw since the 6 star shaft is not drilled...

Direct drive Denny, so you better be ready to go when you pull start. He sure kept the complete unit light, there is no extra weight there, they use the K.I.S.S. principal over there also.

Carter Brothers had a few karts with belt drives. This one sure has a beefy support where it switches down to chain on the final drive. Trying to figure out how wide the pulley is to determine if it is an A or B belt. It sure is going to be a project. Chad where are you located?? Yes it is...

Hell of a lot of work dicking with the axle. I would get me a 3/8" plate of steel and mount a plate on top of the existing motor mount plate and reposition the engine slot the holes so you have adjustment. Taking that axle apart is way too much work and what if you cannot get the sprocket...

My guess is you loosen the first nut and back it off to the right , then you turn the second nut which more than likely is attached to the sprocket and as you turn the nut to the right the whole sprocket moves with it . Once you get it align then you move the single nut back against the...

Hellion , you certain do nice work and did a great job on the logo. Now if you could just get this to print out I would appreciate it. The china copy is just like this.

Mystery solved you have a 16mm shaft. You aren't the first to use the magic hammer to get it on. Getting it off is going to be the ***** and most likely the drum no longer free spins on the sleeve but it is a lesson learned and you are wiser for it, we hope.

Several ways the crank can get worn down and Hellion has one example. The most common one is that crank you got came rom an engine that had the clutch mounted OUTBOARD and he wore the bushing out in the clutch and then the sprocket started wearing on the sleeve and then wore into the crank...

I think he must be from Atlanta that is where you get neat crankshafts.

Well let's just check out the china clutch to see what you have. Take a penny and see if it fits nicely into both ends of the clutch. A penny is exactly .750 (3/4" ) in diameter and is a great measuring device. If the penny fits in the clutch then you know the new clutch has the correct...

Measure the crankshaft diameter so we have a clue what you are talking about. Sounds like you got a 5/8" or metric crank and not the 3/4" (.750) you thought you were buying. Where did you buy it from is another question? See if the bolt you had holding on the clutch before fits the new...

Good looking car Denny. Was going to have you stop by for a tour and pick up some steel cut-offs for projects but you made the trip before I could make the suggestion. You can give the dog a treat, he has a good eye for beauty.

There is over 50 guys there in Ohio that are members of the VKA (Vintage Karting Association) with a web site with the same name. They could tell you where every nut and bolt go. Just about to go down to a race by the VKA in Barnesville, GA on April 9, 10, &11. There are several gatherings in...
