I am currently building a wooden go kart. The frame weighs about 200 -250 lb and with an average person in it, it should be at most 400lb. There is a 12 tooth clutch sprocket and a 40 tooth axel sprocket. Tire size is 13 in. What speed could I expect it to go around?

i have a 3.5hp go cart, well i think its 3.5hp. anyway i have a new centrifugal clutch to put on.

10 tooth 1/2" Pitch 420 Centrifugal clutch go kart 3/4"

i need info on how to remove it please.

thank you for reading

how could i make an electric golf cart go faster with out buying parts?
with out buying other parts, when i drive down hill something kicks in and slows it down how can i remove this?
how would i make the cart faster with out buying parts, or how can i remove the centrifugal clutch?

Hi we are making a go-cart for school, we found some websites like northerntool.com that sell parts for go-carts, but getting it shipped to canada will cost a lot because of customs and stuff. So we were wondering if there were any canadian websites like that. We are looking for centrifugle clutch and brakes (any kind). Thanks for your help

After I build the frame, would i be able to build the rest (steering,rear axle, centrifugal clutch, brakes system, gas pedal system, etc) from an old car sitting in the trees? If I took all the parts from the car? I plan on using an auger engine or maybe an old lawnmower or dirtbike engine.

Alright so I put a honda sl100 engine on a gocart and it wouldn’t spark soi hooked a battery up to the wiring and used a test light to get power through the wires and eventually to my engine/sparkplug. There is electricity going in the coil and then back out to the condenser and then down into the engine to the points. When I first did all this wiring, the spark plug sparked everytime I kick started the engine. Now, it quit sparking and I didn’t change any of the wires around. (The sparkplug is new). when we had it on the dirtbike frame we had to pull start it so idk if just kick starting it isn’t turning the flywheel fast enough and producing enough electricity or what? should we try pull starting it and dropping the clutch to see if that gets it going like we did on the dirtbike? just give me some ideas please!?!?!?!?

i need some help lol. my gocart runs PERFECT as far as the engine goes. but when i rev up. the power is VERY low. takes forever to get going. i just replaced the belt . but it might be the wrong size?i belive it is. or do you think its a bad clutch? i bought a 1 non ribbed belt. 27 in. bu i belive it should be a 3 ribbed 27 in. i was just wondering if the lack of power is coming from the belt or a bad clutch. by the way. the clutch still functions proplery as far as i can tell.

okay i have a gocart that has a snowmobile clutch on it, thats what i think its called the weel spins and once it hits a certain speed it grabs the belt and turns a wheel witch moves trhe chain, i was wondering what i need to buy to replace that belt and do a straight chain to the axel sprocket someone told me about something called an idler sprocket or sumtin like that, what do i need to buy?

I just got a new clutch a new chain i have gas in it that has been sitting in my garage forever and my oil is pitch black. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM???? If anyone can help me I would realllllyyy apreciate it.
