GK200 gas powered Coleman go kart

[vega]

since we gotten this for my kiddo Xmas we have gone through 2belts so far. the belt was already on when we bought this new. It seem to do fine at first, I then to make it go faster I messed with the screw on the throttle and also the bolt under the gas pedal. would this be the cause for the belt to keep breaking or is it something else?

You need to get a GENUINE COMET BELT!!! They outlast other belts 10-1.

That sounds excessive. You could say the extra RPMs you gave it could wear the belts out faster, like always running your blender on maximum speed makes it wear out faster, but something sounds wrong.

I will back up Denny's advice. A genuine Comet belt is recommended. You'd think belts are all the same and manufacturers all have the same technology for making them durable, but nope.

In the meantime, post some pics of the engine and torque converter drive. Folks here have trained eyeballs and can spot defects over the interwebz.

Here's one to assist the discussion:

Not only will the belts last longer, you won't have every other part gunked up with burnt on yak grease, from dem chineseum belts!

My kids could wear out a cheap belt in an hour... No exaggeration.

Just for reference, how much has the kart been ridden since Christmas? Every day since then--Every sunny/dry day since then? How many hours do you reckon?

For all we know, the kart might be ridden just like the 24 hours of Le Mans.

Well dang man, has there been enough time for it to rust or was the buggy purchased used? We may never know!
