Kandi CVT question. kd-150gkm-2

[jonnyX7r]

Hey guys new to ti this and Go karts. So feel free to chew me up after I ask this.

I have a kandi 150cc kd-150gkm-2.

So the problem Im having is that when I place the gear lever in the forward position the kart doesn’t move. At all.

But if I manually push the kart and jump in while at 5 miles in hour and hit the gas it goes and runs well.

The reverse works much better BUT... it takes a while for it go.

If I’m on dirt it doesn’t go in foward at all unless I push it again. . And only goes in reverse if I acccelerate it and dump the gear in reverse.

I removed the clutch and the variator the clutch housing is shinny maybe causing slippage

But I think there has to be more that’s causing this problem

Any help.

Thanks guys-

Jon

Hi Jon,
welcome to DIYGK..

check with the manual if it's still the original engine,
the original rear sprocket size
and most of all the original rear wheel size.

Any of those may have upset the gear ratio in a way where it lacks sufficient torque
(which you need to get moving)
So if you find such, you might have found the culprit.
engine wise there are slightly different flavors of gy6-es..
and some have different internal gearing so that could be a hint
axle sprocket (too small) or rear wheels (too big)
will certainly be at least part of the cause, so you better change it back to where it should be.

If neither is the case let us know and we'll dig deeper

Welcome to the forum. Itsid is totally correct. You might just have bad gearing
