Hi, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I am going to anyway. I am building a custom go kart right now with an 85 hp rotax jet ski engine on it. I have been able to figure out everything accept getting the power to the wheels. A generic go kart clutch or cvt with not be able to handle that much power. I have the ability to use jackshafts, so size of bore doesn't matter as much. Does anyone know of a clutch or cvt (preferably a cvt) that can handle this much power but is also relatively small and will fit on a racing go kart?

Thanks,
Buster Jones

I am blocking off the lines that dump straight into the exhaust and them running a closed loop using the original inlets and outlets. I am using a generic electric water pump to circulation the fluid through a radiator. It will still probably run bit hot, but I can run it in short spirts to keep the temps down.

I will look into some snowmobile cvts and see if I can find one that will work.
