well guys most of it summed up in the video but what would be a good 3/4 clutch for the money & i have some old pics of when i first started to show how close the clutch ran to the sproket.& the other back tire is good it just ran threw some cat litter i had down to clean up some oil.

hey guys whats? Up my tread is growing old & no ones really has been posting but im getting there by myself. lol well the site is diy go karts lol but yeah my sproket is a 72 tooth & im looking for the best speed & acceleration posssible. would a 10 tooth centrifugal Clutch be better than a 12 tooth centrifugal Clutch? I am uploading a video to show everyone what came in the mail today early

[B.M.800]

The 10tooth would help acceleration a bit, not sure how noticeable it would be though.

 

[MrGrim]

thxs you think it would help in speed at all?

 

[B.M.800]

No, just acceleration(not much difference though). If you want more speed, the 12 would be better. However, if you want more speed, the kart will take longer to get there. You could put a TC on there to get good speed and acceleration...

What is your tire size?

 

[MrGrim]

the tire size is 410-3.50-5 & i was gonna try for a tc but my funds got cut so the cc wile have to do. but in a year or so its going to a live axle wih maybe a tc

 

[MrGrim]

would a 13 tooth clutch burn up with a 72 sproket & 10inch 3/4 tires? need answer asap plz

That gives you a gear ratio of 5.53:1, which is a little steep. It is hard to factor all things in, but it would probably be better if you got a 10T sprocket, or at least a 12T. 10T would be better though. That would give you a 7.2:1 ratio

Kill Switch

To hook up the kill switch, connect a wire from the Little tab on the ignition coil, to a switch. Then ground the other end of the switch by connecting it to a metal part of the frame. You will need to remove the pull start/flywheel cover to access the ignition coil.

This set has a connector that fits the little ignition coil tab perfectly, http://www.walmart.com/ip/GE-Wire-Connectors-Assorted-Sizes/16561520
