New Jackshaft assembly and smaller sprocket

Here's the StratoGeezer kart with a vastly improved, simplified and tougher jack shaft assembly, plus a 48 tooth sprocket that replaces the giant 80 tooth - giving the kart more speed, while not sacrificing much torque at all.

I ended up pulling one of the keystock out of one of the rear drive wheels. So one wheel is now providing power and the other turns freely to give me a better turn radius. It's not a perfect solution but it works fine.

similar gearing to my home-made kart, I just had a 9hp but i could do about 34mph flat out..In the winter snow i changed drive pulley so It topped about 28mph.

i had the same issue with my sons kart i built.. i pulled the pin out and it handled fine, but then all my brake was to just one wheel. this next time around i'll be using a differential in t he drive train..

Hi, it really looks very good. I did the same thing with the jackshaft. Using pilow bearings allows you fix any miss alignment. Please se my videos at 64jorthom, I would like to know your opinion. There is a lot of fun driving these things. Don't keep it secret.

How does your go kart turn without a differential?

I got the back pulley (driven unit) from BMI Karts. It won't let me post the link for you here - but just google BMIKarts - then search for the part listed below.
