hey i have a very big problem that costed me a new sprocket. the gokart i stopped working on because of school well now i have free time and now im going back to the problem that i cant figure out.
when i go test drive the kart at the low end speed the chain of the kart just rattles the crap out of its self and makes a loud noise that is unbearable. the thing that is causing the problem is the chain tension. watch my video of how much slack there is. how can i tension up the chain? i was thinking of getting the extra angle i have and line it on the side of the sprocket and mount a chain tensioner. but you guys might tell me to cut a link out, no it wont work because there wont be enough chain to link it together. will this half link you guys have told me before work? i have no idea what a half link is to be honest. so can anyone help me out. thanks
