Ok, I'm confused: Nearly all karts that have a centrifugal clutch have sprockets...

Edit: Ok, that's not a cent clutch, that's a torque converter &, trust me, you wanna keep it on there.

Some detailed pics of the rear end in the correct aspect (rotate them before you upload them) will help

...does not what?

What we need to see is the rear axle setup.

There should be a small sprocket behind the driven (the larger of the two pulleys) which attaches to a large sprocket on the axle via a chain

It looks like the driven has taken a beating from something, the sheave is all tore up.

Yup, definately a TC. You can just see the sprocket behind the driven in the pic below. I would take it off, clean the heck out of it, and pop it back on your kart. Here is a link for maintenance

Keep the CVT, repairing if need be. Trust me- the performance is worth it!

is there a way i could adjust the spings to get this thing off the ground a little bit few inches also what can i do for more power thinking of investing in a 440cc snowmobile engine

If you have good fabrication skills, then the sky is the limit. If not, then I would not be thinking of a sled engine. It is not plug and play

That's all I need to see: You have an axle sprocket so, all you need to do is clean the tc, get yourself a belt & a chain & you're ready to roll...
