That's probably my issue. I'm FAT. LoL

I have a tourqe a verter on my kart, and it keeps eating belts. I've talked with a small engine guy, and he and I both have come to the same conclusion : the 669 18 30 belt that came with the kit is just a little too big and too loose. I've looked online several times unsucessful in trying to...

I came to you guys about 4 months ago with a broken pile of junk I bought from an individual. It had a LOT of mechanical issues. Required welding, cutting. Sometimes cutting what what welded to be rewelded. Replace the centrifugal clutch with a CVT ( wow have I learned alot about mechanics...

First of all, I want to say : THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! I'm serious. I came here looking for answers to my go kart problems a while back, and the good folks here helped me out. They suggested putting a CVT on my go kart, and it has been nothing but grins from ear to ear once...

How do I properly tighten down the bolt that holds the tourque converter to the engines shaft? Each time we test run it the bolt loosens and has to be re-tightened. Would like to know if maybe we are doing something wrong?

I had same problem as you - large cart with a centrifugal clutch. Takes forever for it to accelerate anywhere. I've ordered a mounting plate and a CVT off of Ebay. Waiting for it to come in. Got a friend of mine that knows how to weld, gonna help me put it all together

So I've been reading a bit more, trying to research my build so everything is lined up properly, all my ducks are in a row. I've ordered an engine mount plate to replace the home made, thrown together, misaligned with the rear sprocket junk someone welded together on my kart. I'm going to be...

Never too late. I'm enjoying learning a new hobby. As I mess with it more and more, I learn more.

Here is a better photo of how the sprocket is on the rear axle

Yes, the sprocket is welded to the axle :\

But it will definitely be something awesome when we are finally finished with it. Going to Herculine ( bed liner ) the entire thing, then go back over it camouflaged colors. Per peoples information here, I've ordered a CVT, predator engine and engine mount plate. Got to find someone to cut...

This is why i'm having to order an new engine mount plate and clutch for now. The man who did the work for me misaligned the engine mounts, and instead of re doing it properly, made a custom clutch that was about an inch and half over to match the rear sprocket.

And uploading a bunch of Pics as she is now.

Wife and I both tried that after you mentioned it. It's not " grabbing " or catching at all. No spring, snap to it. Just asked on a local forum via FB where I might be able to go to tomorrow to find one.

No dice :\ it does not retract off. Guess that part is possibly broken. Hmmmn. Wonder if Harbor Freight sells just that part ?

I can post a ton of pictures of it I just took if you'd like me to :-)

My GoKart I bought from a friend who needed $$$ last year. It was in pieces, and the engine was utterly useless. I paid a guy I know to put it back together and make it run, as I'm not mechanically inclined in the least bit. He cut, welded and made a spot to put a 6.5hp engine on it VS what...

I'm a fan of purple. I love it!

I'm planning on buying this same CVT to go on a predator212 on my build. Apart from bolt issues, has anyone had any other problems with theses?

Awesome :-) thank you guys for the information. I'm pretty sure I will run into other road blocks as my progress on it continues. Will stick around for updates lol
