Yea i figured i probably shouldve said this first, but i found the part # of the crankshaft (tecumseh 37842) but i still cant find a reliable place that says the diameter. I found this manual with drawings of crankshafts and supposedly according to this website, it says that the crankshaft size is 7/8 but “cant provide drawings for it”, so for some reason i think thats bs. Any help is good help though so please let me know if yall know where that might be

This is for a hs project so it isnt meant to be super expensive, and I've already spent quite a bit. I talked to people at my school and they basically said don't worry about it. it isnt a bad recommendation though, i'm just in a rush against time (go kart due in like 3 days)
I would have but my dad randomly sourced the engine from someone out of state, and i was in a rush to see if it would work before he picked it up. I wasn't really able to just force this random guy to check, although i wish i couldaWhy haven't you measured the crankshaft PTO on the engine your friend is offering? That would provide a concrete answer beyond all doubt and we could stop with all this.... BS.
I agree but i think that's because the manuals are very poorly written. Like i have to cross reference 3 different manuals from 3 different years to get something i can actually work with
I think its because there is a weird split in how they classified stuff around 2004. This manual seems to classify it correctly, although the specs arent listed.. I found this manual of the engine but it isnt listed there either, i could list 100 different links i went to but it just seems like its not online. But, as a real update, once i got the engine it was 1in.... but there was a ton of junk rusted onto it so I cant really just use a clutch anymore. I'd need to use the built in pulley system, which would complicate my build even more and add even more danger to it. Basically, unfortunately this is a dead end because I need to present this 'go kart' so soon.
