Chain questions

[iZach]

Hi, my little bro's got a go kart. But the chain broke while doing donuts on a dirt road.
Im not sure what size the chain. Here are some pics that might help
And im guessing i'll need a chain breaker?
Any help will be appreciated.

Well you only need a chainbreaker if you don't have a small socket. ..a hammer. ... and some appropriate sized nails or a punch. ....I figured that out and broke my first bicycle chain at age 7......

 

[iZach]

Well, i'd like to get a chain breaker so is the one from BMI good?

I've never owned one......or used one....so I can't say.......

 

[iZach]

Ok, for $14 its probably worth it.

There's only one thing I can say. ......99% of the time. .....if you need a tool and can afford it.......buy it. ......

And I'm not often in that position. ......

 

[iZach]

Just ordered the chain and the tool.

Thanks for the help guys!

Did you get master links??????

 

[iZach]

Uh, whats a master link? Do i need them?

Yes, it's a good idea.
Unlike a bicycle chain tool, typically speaking the chain breaker does just that, seperates the halves. A master link is a easily joined link of chain to connect the ends of a given length of chain.
Also face the open end of the master link away from the drection of travel.

So can i get away without the master links?

[Poboy kartman]

Yes. ..you could but for less than $1 a piece. ....WHY?????

If you have a Tractor Supply near you....they will have them.....a Google search for #35 chain will turn up other local avenues. .....

One thing a master link does is let you "sneak up" on your final chain length. ....plus.....it's just easier. .....

 

[iZach]

Ok, i'll order some off ebay or amazon, cause its probably $10 ship again for BMI.

Call them, and most likely they will just throw it in the box, with the other stuff.

You DO realize I'm saying a package of 3 is less than $3 from my local tractor supply?????? And any member could mail you a link for the cost of a stamp??????

Edit: OOPS!!!!! Any member in the US!!!!!
