clutch jumping??

[jayden727]

Just another problem and I know nothing about this. (Karting is fun as hell though!!) when taking off my kart kind of hesitates for less than a second and then kind of jumps into gear. Hard to explain sorry. What can I look for?

take clutch apart and CLEAN

 

[Rotore]

Or a bad spring

Many people would pay to have a clutch that did that, lol. You could do awesome peel outs.

They or get a norman racing clutch off bmikarts it engages at 2050rpm

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

most clutches engage at 1800-2200 rpms. A bad spring would cause the clutch to take off on idle, not jump. Jumping is probably a dirty clutch like suburban said.

 

[Rotore]

Lol i thought they engaged at somewhere around 1500 or rpms
