Hey all! I'm new to the go kart world and was wondering if anyone can advise me. I've been wanting a go kart since I was a kid, and I found one for sale on the road the other day for 150 dollars. I bought it because it had an engine, a solid frame (although the floor panel needs replacing), and it was easy to get home. The engine wasn't running, but I'm good at small engines so one un-stuck exhaust valve later we're up and running. Couple problems though:
The chain is rusty and I'm having trouble removing it for replacement
The clutch is engaging when it shouldn't and I need to take it off and clean/sand/grease it but I can't get the chain off
The wheels appear to be split rims because they're bolted together, but they're plastic and need replacing and all the replacements I find have bearings which would mean the drive shaft wouldn't spin the wheels.
SO basically I need to find out how to take off the wheel but they're like stuck, and then I need a replacement wheel (I'll attach pictures). They're hooked up kind weird... does anyone know what to do?
Thanks!
