Go to the Gokart Supply website it tells how to measure chain and sprocket pitch. It looks like you are trying to mix #35 chain and axle sprocket with a #40 clutch.

...............and with too tall of a gear ratio. Looks like you need a lot more teeth on that axle sprocket.

What does that mean this is the axle and chain that came with it , it originally had a belt driven clutch but it just kept slipping so I’m opting for a centrifugal clutch but I want to keep the original sprocket and chain is that not possible ?

Ok, your in England so I can’t help you on where to get parts. But I can help educate you. Go to the Go Kart Supply website and look up chains, clutches and CVTs and read up on all that stuff. The short answer to your question is return that clutch and get one for #35 chain with 10 teeth or better yet switch to a CVT 30 series TAV II and use a Genuine Comet Belt. Read that stuff and come back if you have any questions or happen to fix it. If your tires are over 10” tall you should switch to a CVT. Best advice I can give. Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats everyday! (Unless your like me and a lousy fisherman.)

Yuck. Ugh. Bleahh. I just finished putting on the church's hugest annual event of the year, our Seafood Fest. After getting 105# of fish fillets deep-fried up, 122# of shrimp, 6 bushels of oysters, 20# of scallops, 15# crawfish meat, etc. ad infinitum..............I don't even want to read about any fish or etc. for a long time. Like until 2 weeks before next Seafood Fest.
Had to leave my kart outside and tarped up off the patio for a week just to get more room in my shop and on the patio. I'd almost swear it's been gaining weight sitting in the shop, pushing it around was harder than I remember.
