    Yes, I agree Great parts. GX200 with 2:1 wet clutch reduction, 1-1/4" live axle with hubs and sprocket, hydraulic disk brakes, seat. And the funkiest motor mount I have come across. Well worth the price paid. ---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM...

    Honda Reduction Chutch Adjustment

    The main reason is durability. Most of the racers have them, and it allows them to run a smaller rear sprocket which in turn allows the kart to be close to the ground. There is a slight loss of power, but it will have more torque. This will be my first reduction, I may not like it, but I...

    We have dirt bikes, I think the mini bike theme would not be as enjoyable as the ones we have.

    Honda Reduction Chutch Adjustment

    Thanks for the diagram. So, if anyone else has the same issues, this is what I did so far. I removed 3 of the 12 weights per bank, I replaced the weights with tiny washers as spacers. They do not interfere with the movement of the weights. When I reassembled and tested it, I noticed a small...

    If you haven't guessed yet, I have an old lawn tractor that I have been wanting to steal the engine out of to make some sort of project. The only problem is that I don't know what I want to throw it into.. and it needs some carborator work. They are expensive to order from the dealer. Has...

    Honda Reduction Chutch Adjustment

    Are there any specs showing the spring tension or the amount of weights for a stock unit? I would hate to buy oem at dealership prices to find out that is not the problem. Thanks for the ongoing advise.

    Honda Reduction Chutch Adjustment

    I am estimating that it is idling around 1500 rpm. It will stall out when I turn down much more. If this is the case, I estemate the clutch will lock up around 1700 rpm but has tension on the plates at 1500. Can I remove one or more of the weights from each bank (there are 12 weights per bank)...

    Honda Reduction Chutch Adjustment

    Fellas, I obtained an ex- Race kart that has a GX200 with 2:1 gear reduction clutch on it. When I bought it, the rear wheels needed to be raised in order for the engine to start, when it started and engine warm, the kart was placed back on the ground, and it did not move. my thoughts were...
