I just picked up a used black widow go kart for the kids. Seemed to work OK for a few days, but problems started when chain popped off and I adjusted the chain tensioner. The chain was so loose you could pull it off the sprocket and I tightened it to about a 1/2" of play.
Driven and Driver look to be stock/original. (I am assuming the driven is the wheel directly attached ot engine and the driver is the one that links to reaer axle) It did come with a Comet 203591belt, but schematics show it having a 5959 or Comet 203589. I put the 203589 on there. It was a little bit of a pain to get it on and much tighter than belt it came with.
The kart wasn't engaging the drive wheels when throttle was pressed and then all of a sudden it would catch or slowly engage. With the new belt on....the rear wheels are engaged the entire time when rear of kart is lifted in the air. On ground with no kid it creeps, but with a kid in it...it won't move forward.
It will drive, but doesn't get up to speed like it was before.
I can turn a wrench and do what somebody shows me, but I am not familiar with these at all. Any help is appreciated.
