Seems like you are close to knowing what you need.
(2) 1-5/8" OD, 5/8" ID bearings....
5/8" Jackshaft (how ever long you need - length of JS housing plus room for driven unit, sprocket, and lock collars)....
5/8" lock collars (to hold the driven unit on and maybe the sprocket)....
New Belt (for the new distance between the crankshaft and the jackshaft

I got a 15" jackshaft thata threaded cause i seen how when i recieved the torque converter theres a lock hokding on the small jackshaft thru the driven. I looking at those lock collars but i also noticed how other ppl used lock nuts on there jackshafts for the driven as well.. But the jackshaft i got is threaded 1 1/2 inches on eaxh side so the threads on the side of the sprocket will be goinf thru the bearings... Think i made the wrong call?? And yea i learned alot the last month and still learning every day! With alot of help from u and othwr ppl here so thank u very much!

They aren't cheap, but they're the best.

I don't know the part numbers or what ever but yeah, HF has a cheap welder. It's 110 volt. It barely works. For just a few more dollars you can get a 220v with a gas option. That's the one to get. It's a much better welder.
Simply said 110v just doesn't have the ummph to do a good job.

Cheap Chinese digital tach/hour meters are what I use, despite the "pros" decrying such a choice. Around 7-8 bucks a piece.

I just bought 3 of the kind using a replaceable battery from that famous auction site.

Oh ok, you want it to be perfect. That's good. I'm that way too.

Perfectionism is a horrible disease though. :D

Hello I wish to complete a go kart but i have an issue about clutches. I would like to use an industrial manual or hydraulic clutch that would be able to mount to an engine shaft. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about a clutch that could be capable of doing this. i have seen to many torque converters and centrifugal clutches that are unreliable and i would like to use something that is manual operated, tough and reliable. any suggestions will be great cheers
