i have a brand new predator 212 with a .38 jet, governor removed, upgraded exhaust and intake. Hooked to a 11t clutch(new), with a 60 sprocket, live axle finished with 11-9-6 slicks. starts up on first pull.
Problem is it starts out slow, and if i am on a slight up hill. the motor will speed up, but kart wont move. If i am moving the motor runs great. good top speed.
Takes a little bit, and then i can hear the power band rev up. Clutch does get real hot.
I would think the problem is the clutch, because it is getting hot and smoking, but it is brand new. I have another kart identical but with a 12t clutch.(slow but works)
Shouldn't the kart with the 11t actually start out quicker?
I do have the clutch reversed. teeth side towards motor, thats how old one was and it matched up. could this be a problem?
Now that i think, could i have put the clutch shoe in backwards on the bell housing, i really payed no attention when i slid it on the key?
Do i have to adjust a new clutch?
Did i mess something up doing motor, that the motor lost power at lower RPMs?
