Winter kartin issues

[dave1701]

I took my kart out for a winter ride a while ago and had a bit of a problem. My kart wouldn't stop! I figure the torque converter wouldn't disengage. Not very fast, put it still was annoying. Could it be because the belt shrunk up?

how cold was it?

Sounds like an issue with the CVT, not the belt. I ran my Comet 40 setup in weather so cold my extremities went numb- with no driveline issues.

its because the clutch is still cold. after a while of riding i bet it stops.

It was near 30 degrees. I guess I'll have go out and take the cover off...

Check the idle. You want it pretty much as low as you can get it, but you still want to be able to easily start the motor cold.
