So, my go-kart has an interesting drivetrain setup. I've been trying to figure out my gearing ratio(which came with the frame when I bought it) although I cannot use a calculator as it has multiple sprockets throughout the drivetrain. I am using a 420cc Predator Engine(Governed but I may change that) with a torque converter. There is a total of 4 sprockets including the axle and torque converter. The sprocket on the torque converter is a 12 tooth, which connects to a 24 tooth sprocket on the end of a shaft mounted horizontally under the engine mount. On the middle of the shaft, there is a 10 tooth sprocket that connects to a 60 tooth sprocket mounted on the middle of the axle(which has a differential). I am using 18-inch wheels. I have tried calculating the ratio manually but I am not sure if I am doing it correctly, so I was hoping someone could explain how you go about doing so. I will post the specs below for convenience. Any help is appreciated!
(Sprockets in order from torque converter to axle)
12 tooth
24 tooth
10 tooth
60 tooth
18 Inch rear wheel diameter
420cc Governed Stock Predator Engine (Approx 3600 RPM)
Thanks
