I'm working on installing a Honda 13hp on my yerfdog. I have a series 40 clutch, with a 60t axle sprocket. I have both a 10t, and a 12t jack shaft sprocket. Whats the best gear to use for a heavy cart / heavy rider? I'm leaning towards the 12t sprocket for a 5:1 for low end take off and good top speed.....

10T Would give you better take off and less top end but I will bet you won't feel the
difference. I have a 13hp honda on my kart, heavy, and geared at 7:1 but I have a
tc as well, so start off is good. I could go for more top end and not lose start up I think.
If it's mostly on dirt then I guess how much do you want to spin the tires on take off?
I would rather have a little spin rather than a lot. 5:1 seems to low. I think it would be
a little sluggish.
