Best type of oil would be gear oil or even grease. So it stays on there longer and doesn't burn off as fast.

all try grease once i take it off and hopefully clean it and try it again and see if it works with the grease. i thought of grease but everywhere i read said motor oil so i figured id ask.

that's what i plan on doing once i get a chain breaker. also the engine shakes pretty bad, is this bad or normal? it has done it since i got it which was years ago but im not sure if its supposed to do that.

Your spring could be worn, what i did with mine a few times after extreme overheating, was cut a few coils off the spring. It helped ALOT, never took off at idle again.

You could just loosen your motor mounts and then pull your clutch off.

This may just be me being a bit crazy, but you dont have a masterlink on your chain?

well i have no idea what a master link is so i dont know if i have one. and i am pretty sure there aren't any of those rubber washers on there but i think we might have some. how thick should they be?

This is a master link. If you push out the side with the cut on it, you can take it off. Behind the master link is a little chain plate and then take out the other side. Chain is then off. Also how bad does it shake? mine shaked because of the badd clutch. If I am correct, when you put the kart on the ground and try to start it with the throtte applied a bit, it will start and shake then die right? If so, you broke a little piece in the clutch.

vgk is correct on the master link. Don't know about the clutch causing the shake, but it definitely could contribute. Since you don't have any rubber washers on trier to absorb the shake, it definitely will shake. I would use 1/8" thick rubber washers or larger. Should make the ride a lot more comfy

im definitely going to get some of those washers, if i use 1/8" will i have to add any chain to keep the right tensions or is 1/8" to small to effect it? i'll have to look for the master link tomorrow as i am busy today.

Rubber washers are trash.

No wrong! You would (and do) lose rpm.
I can prove my statement.
Can you prove yours???

You will lose RPM, on this scale, it may only be a few, but technically you will. Making statements like that, with no facts to back it up makes you look like a complete ***.
I cant imagine 1/8" rubber washers will do much, and i wouldn't even bother, its likely the ground will shake your kart more than the engine once your moving anyways.
