Question

[StayyyFlyyy]

I have the idle speed set at the lowest possible to keep the engine on but the crank still turns, its not mounted or attached to anything its just the engine by itself.. is the crank still supposed to turn or is it not supposed to be moving when idle?? or is it not enough power to move the go kart when mounted?

Are you saying your crank shaft moves when the engine is turned on and running? I'm having a bit of trouble understanding your question here, I could be a douche and mock you and say that your engine is broken and it should never move when turned on.... I'd rather try and help you as fun as that does sound. Do you have a clutch on the motor? Lets say you have a centrifugal clutch attached to your shaft, it might not engage for say 2,000 rpm, your lowest idle might be around 1,600. The shaft moves, but the clutch won't because it is locked up.

Does that kinda answer or is your question different?

Yeh the shaft is meant to spin, idle means the kart doesn't move as the clutch doesn't engage, like blaz said
