I have an old Ken Barr kart JP model that started life with a Fun Power Briggs electric start, TAV 30 and a differential. The Briggs finally gave up the ghost and I bought a clone 6.5 HP. The bolt pattern on the motor is slightly different so I bolted the TAV to the motor and adjusted the frame mounts to fit (ground the slots farthest away from the clutch). Thing runs faster than I think it ever did. The problem is it is now eating belts. I suspect that the motor is over revving but I'm not sure.
I keep the driver clean and use that Comet dry lube on the weight assembly. The old Briggs never ate belts (abnormally anyway).
I had the pullys aligned by the Comet service manual but I read at the http://www.gokartsupply.com/asymapp.htm
that I should align the fixed side of both pulleys. The difference is the width of a washer. Anyway, suggestions are appreciated.
