Carter 2606-KX Clutch and rear axle

[Denny]

He could put a sprocket on the jack shaft and take the pulley off then go to a 30 series CVT.

Will that work? I thought Tennhi needed a "divorced unit" with separate sheaves that can be mounted in place of the current setup.
Can you work up a parts list that will work with what Tennhi already has? You're the subject matter expert.

Is this a TAV2 or a Series 30, or both? I thought the chain sprocket [not seen in this photo] is on the wrong side of this CVT to work on their kart:

 

[tennhi]

No offense... I got stuck at divorce!!! Lol.. How hard or what if I align the motor directly to the rear wheel and got rid of the pulleys jackshaf and stuff??

Why are we trying to fix what ain't broke again?

You'd have to move the engine over to the driver's left to where the engine shaft is right over the sprocket that is by the wheel. You need 4 slotted holes for the engine to mount to and you'd need to devise and determine the proper gear ratio for it all to work right

How many teeth are on the sprocket on the wheel? Don't guess, go count them. Just for giggles.

Wait, where is Denny? He is the subject matter eggspurt!

You still have time to buy a Coleman or Massimo kart at Tractor Supply!

Lol.. I reckon my end goal is to have power to both rear wheels so he dont get stuck often and dont give up on it and just ride his atv instead... and im an idiot for not learning about all this before I gave way to much for this thing

 

[tennhi]

I guess... im trying to make chicken salad out of chicken crap

 

[tennhi]

I just want him to enjoy it and have fun... his main riding territory is hilly and grass.. I sure messed up

We went from that, both wheels, to trying to make the one wheel more reliable with a CVT.
He has an ATV already? Man, he's spoiled rotten.

 

[tennhi]

Long story.. but yes sir he is... i got hurt real bad and it took me 3 years to finally get the VA to approve my disability and I finally got a chance to give him what he wanted for his birthday... and his friends race quarter midgets and im trying to get him more used to that!! I know ive messed up!!

 

[tennhi]

I m sorry ive wasted calls time.. it is what it is

Not at all. I think we were just trying to help and find the best solution for you. It is a major undertaking to convert the kart to a full live axle...

 

[tennhi]

I really appreciate yalls help... i would have ever thought that this was going to be that much of a problem... but... Geez!!.. lol.. i thought I was kinda knowledgeable about things like a go kart.... WRONG!!! I dont see no way out of this situation!!..

Perhaps try to get the kid into fixing this one with your help. Put a little elbow grease and sell it for a lil' profit. Find a new kart with new cash in hand. Get what you want.

Racing minis would be rad. Gotta have a wallet for that though. But to get a kid interested is a start. Good on you.

Man, he's spoiled rotten.

Yea, yea, totally spoiled rotten!


I spoil mine worse...

In fact, theyve nicknamed my garage "the magic box" since every broken thing that goes into it, comes out working better than before.

Has this kart been tested on the expected terrain yet? It not like one wheels cant leave pavement...

 

[Hellion]

I still can’t believe the kart uses a loose looking belt from engine to pulley and that the ”belt clutch” is fixed and not variable. In other words, it is not a CVT. It looks like major slippage occurs and there’s no way I see to keep tension on the pulley. It looks undesirable.

We need a video cause you have me doubting myself now... The belt is already at the perimeter of the clutch pulley. I would assume it would be dropped down into the pulley at rest, if it were variable. It should also have another visible movable sheave if it were a variable clutch.

I have something similar to what Im describing. Only its not a clutch, just a varible pulley that doesnt engage until a certain RPM. Hey, thats the definition of a clutch..

If you have ever changed a lawn mower deck belt, you know how hard those things can grab the pulleys, even when not fully taut.

Heres one wiht an example of the extra sheave. https://www.ebay.com/itm/156115460143?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr=1&amdata=enc:1YvaueGI3Rk6WVkPPl_1vag21&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=156115460143&targetid=2321310837104&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9057561&poi=&campaignid=21214302385&mkgroupid=161029887581&rlsatarget=aud-1317302328365la-2321310837104&abcId=9407524&merchantid=6382194&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21214302385&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh8Bz3n2spJNHdKP5hs1Qrr0q&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzPnRude-jgMVlyvUAR3_VT0IEAQYAiABEgLadvD_BwE

Found this also. From reading it, you get the idea that he just swapped the belt clutch for a 30 series TC.

Carter brothers 2 seater gokart

First time go karter. Purchased a used one for my son. Previous owner put a predator 212. Clearly needs some adjustment or improvements. Since I just found out this company doesn’t exist anymore was wondering what and if can be upgraded without serious fabrication. I ordered a torque converter...

Well bought a new gk200 coleman...nothing but problems

We can help with that. Tell us more. At least it's NEW and probably has a 90 day warranty. Make them fix it.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Yeah, how does new have problems already.

Tell me more.
