Advice/opinions?

Or...... I was just thinking. Could one rotor just be attached to the differential opposite of the sprocket and the other on the axel?

Now before you ask, disconnect the yellow wire to the low oil shut down.

Already done thanks lol. I've only unpacked the engine and taken off the air box to see about how I'm going to do the throttle but I unplugged the oil sensor and loosened the throttle arm bolt. I think I figured out the throttle myself. Just need to find a tiny spring and some old bike brakes and an L bracket. I think it'll work. If not I'll need a different return spring

Haven't decided between a 10 tooth clutch 60 sprocket or 12 and 72. There's not going to be much clearance with 13" wheels. I'm thinking about putting 16's on it but only if I come across some cheap or free. I think to that I'll try to cut an old dummy tire rim and weld it over to make a sprocket gaurd incase it bottoms out

Awesome!!

I found someone in Canada selling a brand new in box predator 212 engine for $115 which works out to just under $83 USD but he's 5 hours away and wouldn't ship it at my expense so I went with this engine. Probably won't be until spring before I do any work. I don't have a garage or shed but in the meantime I can start getting parts to offset the cost. Still not sure what I'm going to do for brakes yet. I'm worried about putting a single brake on with a differential so I may just lock it. The size of the kart it'll almost be like a drift kart
