Need HELP!!! KENBAR SK 956

[Diggers]

Hello I have this kenbar 956 I bought it's pretty much a roller. Hopefully you guys and gals can get me driving this thing. Ok the previous owner took out the driven and jackshaft and sprocket on the jackshaft setup. I picked up a genuine Honda gx340 with electric start and beable to run lights. Now I need help with what tav system to go with and gearing I believe the cart has a 60t on it. Also the chain tensioner not sure where or how it's mounted. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and pics would be awesome. Thanks

Precisely. Despite you naming it a "956" (and having us take the time to look it up ourselves), that could very well be erroneous or it could be a factory variant with major or minor changes to the configuration or it could be a look-alike. Then there's the previous owner and their oftentimes ill-advised "modifications". Can o' worms, that.

Go karts aren't nearly as well documented as, say, automobiles are.

I was bored, so I posted this pic for my own amusement. With a Honda GX340 you're going to need a Comet series 40 TC, methinks. The rest is too much of a guess but it's all just guesswork in the end.

I figured I'd need comet 40series do to the size of the motor. Are the Chinese style tav systems any good??? Not sure why I can't post pics???

 

[chancer]

I have not heard any complaints about the Chinese KOs. Lots of guys here use them.

 

[Hellion]

I have heard the Chinese TCs are decent--the belts not so much so you would be well-advised to invest in some quality TC belts from the good ol' USA in case the others don't work out too well. But that's all hearsay.

Your mileage may vary. I am not a lawyer--I only play one on TV. Void where prohibited. Batteries not included.

Ok thanks for the info yes I heard the belts where no good that they shred to pieces quickly??? I guess I can go with any hole size on the driven 5/8 or 3/4 any suggestions??.

 

[Hellion]

I say try the Chinese belts for starters. What are you talking about in regard to hole sizes?

 

[Diggers]

Hole size for the jackshaft rod.. thanks
