Looking to make an inexpensive road kart; questions

I don't understand what you are asking.

Sorry for wasting your time, guys. Posting pictures on this forum is new to me

Nope...you seriously need to scroll up to FAQ and click on that. Then click on reading and posting at the bottom. Then look for attachments and pictures towards the bottom of the list.

All the information is there. It's not that hard...what are you posting on?

ANYWAYS

The pulley on the clutch is the same size as the clutch bell, if not a little bigger.

I suspect that a 4:9 ratio would burn up belts pretty darn quick.

That would be a 2.5:1...no way Jose.

If you have ( and I'm sure you do) a photo editor...you should shrink the picture(s) down. ( The chart of formats and sizes are at the bottom of the manage attachments page)....store them in a gallery on your computer ...then instead of trying to use links...select choose file....then select gallery...and click on the pic....then to the right...hit upload....and wait until it does..then scroll down and hit close this page...(or whatever it says.

Ill try that when I get home; Ill upload the pics to the computer, and go from there.
Thanks

And thanks for all of your info, too; if i still want to use that pulley setup ill have to use a jackshaft.

How tall are your wheels? seems like to change your ratio you need to nearly double your axle pulley diameter, or half your clutch pulley... hmm

That's why he said he'll have to use a jackshaft.
