Dam get some new chain. That stuff has obviously never been lubed. Does it have a nice crunch sound when racing it XD

and to answer your question yes lol. the jackshaft output has a broken tooth so it has an exception sound. that was a pic before i got it up and running actually have the chains sitting right in front of me along with the sprockets.

is there anything i can do to get some age off the chain or is there no saving it? quite honestly? low budget due to college costing wayyyy too much lol

dude chain is dirt cheap! no point in trying to get the rust off of it!

boil that crap in oil and just be done with it hahaha

I wouldnt worry about it to tell you the truth as new chain for the whole kart will only cost you like 10 bucks max. Should be around 2-3 bucks a foot. If u really wanna save it get some old engine oil, boil it up in a tin can and soak the chain in there. Let it boil for a good half hour then let it cool down and just leave it in there for a day or two. The oil will penetrate the chain and work its way into all the little links n stuff. Should make it usable again.
