Hey cyborg through in a little extra and i'd meet ya half way like in Mississippi. lol

Ok thanks cyborg.

Buggy has an 11 hp Honda clone engine with electric and pull start, Comet 40 torque converter, Disc brakes, Front and Rear Shocks, Lights, Adjustable Driver Seat. Was built for an adult but does have adjustable driver seat for shorter drivers (but I'm only 5'9" lol). Also have new left over...

ok thanks, I adjusted it on out, now I'm getting full throttle! Oh and by the way, ya'll are all very observent looking at the pis on here, had alot of comments about the belt being to tight, after looking back at the pic I saw why everyone kept saying that! lol in that pic the motor wasn't...

Update...I finally had a chance to turn driven unit around and it works fine now. Not very fast though. This is how it's set up now...18 inch tires, 12 and 60 tooth sprockets, 11 hp engine. Kart with no load I have throttle adjusted so the belt will max out to top of clutch, guestion is, when...

Hey sleepy I'm going to turn it around just haven't had he chance yet! And I wasn't trying to correct anyone, I was just saying what the others looked like and thats why I put it on that way, because theres looks like mine I didn't even think they might be two differant ones. I don't know...

Thats true! But it is a new factory built kart, no changes have been made, and the others in the store were all the same.

Ok I took another look at the buggy that I set mine up like and it looks the same to me. I tried to upload the pic but for some reason it keeps failing. I will keep trying to upload that pic so ya'll can see it.

No it's not running, it is tight in this picture but not so tight that it creeps forward at idle speed. I also tried it loose and all positions in between. I don't think it's on backwards, I took pics of a kenbar gokart and this is how it was set up on it.

It's an 11hp Harbor Frieght engine. The manual says it runs at 3500 rpm.

I've read that! And I'm thinking I need a stiffer spring but it don't tell you which color spring has the most tension. Mine only has one hole. I will look at it closer tomorrow in the day light to see if the spring is actually in the hole.

I have installed comet 40 TC and this is whats happening...When buggy is on a stand everything works fine, but when I took it for a test run the driver works correctly but the driven goes straight down to high gear when I accelerate. I've tried loosening and tightening the belt but either way...

It's going to have a 40 series torque converter on it, that's the reason for the jackshaft. That brings up another question, where do you get a cover for the 40 series? Or do you have to make your own?

OK! I have ordered a 60 tooth and the jack plate I ordered has a 10 and 14 tooth.

Not enough there yet to take pics.

Any more advice out here?:huh:

Oh, thought I would add that I weigh about 210# and will have my son with me who is about 100#. So I will need some good pulling power too, not just wanting high top end speeds. Thanks

Ok I bought 18" tires for the back and 16" for the front. Playing with the numbers I see that a 1:6 ratio could be set up several different ways. Would 72 and 12 or 60 and 10 be better or would you suggest something totally different. Remembering this is for off road,\.

This will be an off road kart. I have started building the frame and am researching what would be best for off roading. So far I have a 11hp harbor frieght engine and 40 series comet torque converter. Now here is where I need your help! What would be the best way to set this up for off road use...
