Hahaha when I went to pick up the kart thats the same thing I said! I was like why is it yellow?? and she was like Idk. hahaha

 

[Bluethunder3320]

heres a problem he is having. the engine will not idle, the TC always is locked into drive.

video later. but yaa he cant stop. and it looks like the belt wore down alot today.

also when i was riding it earler, the driver was stuck into full engagement and idle speed was about 15mph. we started the engine and it went into a wheelie right away. then we heard a pop and the driver went back to neutral but the belt was still catching.

its a comet 20 series.

oh ya and the brakes dont work at all lol.

 

[B man]

open the driver up and do as blaz tells you. http://www.youtube.com/user/blazkowiez#p/a/u/2/C9yPHtfJO9w

and your driven ether is tensioned or it has a bad spring or broke spring.

 

[Homemadgokarts1221]

heres a pic of the driver is this messed up?

 

[B man]

cleaning. its a common problem. watch this vid. http://www.youtube.com/user/blazkowiez#p/a/u/2/C9yPHtfJO9w
it tells you how to clean it. that should solve the problem.

your driven needs a new spring or just re tensioned.

 

[Homemadgokarts1221]

so if i clean this it isnt going to tare that belt up? cuz it is kinda expensive!

 

[B man]

and fix the driven. does it have the idle bushing on the clutch? but yes cleaning it should help+its free so do it anyways lol. post some pics of the driven.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

hey owen i have some por15 marine clean we could use haha.

@bman no it doesnt have a bushing

 

[B man]

well that would be one reason for the no rest at idle. just clean the driver and fix your driven. should be good to go.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

cool. next we need brakes.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

oh yaaaaaaa

Matt I read up on the driven spring. I think it is too tight. The guy online says that would one make idle very uneasy and two it can shred the belt I will losin it and see what happens. But today I have no time for play, I have 5 lawns to do FML...

 

[Bluethunder3320]

id clean up the driver too. lol i have one lawn to do that will take about an hour.
well, check on it tonight...

 

[B man]

it looks too loose. it needs more tension. and yir jumpy driver is because its dirty+ the driven cant effect the idle only the driver can.
