here's my project!

If you are looking for a solid mechanical brake solution, I recommend this: http://www.pccmotor.com/dibrcapamipo.html

This is similar to what you might find on a bike, but bigger and stronger. I have this on the rear axle of my 20 and 17HP karts and they have no problem locking up the rear axle at speed.

You will also likely need a disk, so try this:

Might require you to figure out how to mount to the shaft, but you might figure out a way to mount it to your sprocket. Use your imagination for shaft mounts.

It might work good now, but I think it will break at the worst possible moment, due to the strain/force it endures. That thing was designed to stop 2hp pocket crotch rockets weighing a total of 275pounds, with rider..... From 20-25 mph......
The fact that it stops your kart is irrelevant. It's not safe, and I couldn't, with good conscious, recommend that brake , for a big kart...... I have some of those exact brakes. They do work great, don't get me wrong..... BUT like the ad says, designed for 49-50cc pocket bikes.... That's weedeater style engine, not 4 stroke.....
In time, the force exerted on the brake, will destroy it, and you, if you aren't lucky..... It just wasn't meant to handle a big load......

I made a somewhat custom exhaust the other day.
I cut off a corner of a lawnmower handle and bent it slightly.
I just need to get a flange to weld on.

I also took a spray paint can and cut the spray side off, slid the pipe in and clamped it down. I drilled a few holes in the bottom.

Not sure if it'll work but the pipe will for sure work as an open pipe.

I'll post pics tomorrow at some point.

Sorry, I have a real slow connection so it takes a long time to load stuff.

Will this work? As a pulley setup?

Is that supposed to be a jackshaft with a pulley on the one side and a sprocket on the other?

It would be nice if you posted more pics of the whole piece your wanting/trying to use.

That is the whole thing.

It's off a tiller transmission. I cut it off because the whole thing was in bad shape. I should be able to weld itIt together. I've been looking at other pulley setups on here that look pretty similar.

 

[luckyluckey]

It wont make a lot sense until I get it all layed out.

Ok, how about you tell us about what the plan is with what that is.

 

[luckyluckey]

I was asking if I could use it as a pulley setup. Like a jackshaft or something.

My motor has pulleys on it instead of sprockets. So I would have to mount this on and use it.

I'll just do it and see if it works.

 

[landuse]

It would work as a jackshaft. You will just have to figure out you ratio if you do use it

 

[luckyluckey]

I used this as a engine mount.
