Coleman KT196 jackshaft delete?

No, I sure don’t. I don’t have one of those karts either. Sorry.

So the way this works from the factory is: Engine drives through T/C, T/C drives through a short jackshaft attached to and under the adjustable engine mount plate, jackshaft drives axle. First you need to do the compound math to determine what your overall engine to axle gear ratio is. Once you know that, you can determine what would be required to by-pass the jackshaft. For illustration the current set-up is A to B to C to D (A is engine, B is T/C, C is jackshaft, D is axle) The ratio from A to D is what you want to know. The illustration below does not make it clear the sprocket on the axle can be relocated. If it cannot be moved, you will have to replace the axle to delete the jackshaft, because nothing will line up anymore.
