Recently took on the mission to build an offroad kart for the track in the back and got ahold of a Manco 606b (Silver Fox) for $150. Engine works great but I need 'more powah baby' so I plan on swapping out the engine for the 420cc predator.
Already have the engine, mounting plate, and am planning on swapping the garbage hex axle for the 1" steel one + split sprockets + hydraulic brakes(recommendations?). (And if all that works, I'll swap the steering to rack and pinion as its garbage)
Having said all that; I have the dumbest problem at the moment. I had a spare 40 series driver from a previous dune buggy and a 30 series back plate so I made the mistake of just ordering the driven pully + other parts from GPS. Well; that was a mistake.
It mounts but the jackshaft isn't nearly long enough and after reaching out to GPS they pretty much told me to buy a cheap 40 series Chinese kit and use its backplate. (Why do they not sell the backplate + jackshaft for the 40 series outside of the $400 kit? Very confused)
So I hit up OMB and they have 40 series plate (and the belts to use) but not the Jackshaft.
I'm new to all this...so appreciate any help you guys can provide.
