That sprocket should never have been anywhere near a go kart, it wasn't designed for high speed or high torque applications...

What you need is something like this & a sprocket to match it...

Are you serious...that sprocket came on the go kart but the engine was a small 6.5 HP my engine now is a predator 420 cc 13 HP engine so I need a stronger hub?

Thanks, you just made my point for me...

Yes, you need a stronger hub; you doubled the torque load so, you need to double the strength of the sprocket hub...
