The main thing is that the two sprockets are aligned properly. Even though I don't think it is causing it to come off but your chain needs oil badly and looks like it's starting to kink
LMAO, the first tip had me facepalming, just fixed up my bike today but the clutch is moving back and forth a good couple inches lol
My bike chain just broke the other day because of this reason this video is god tier
What happenes if the clutch moves back and forward ?
@@gulfbankflocca1436 chain falls off
Thanks man I appreciate the video. I ride my mini bike around and only recently my chains been popping off
I have the same go kart as you. a Cobra 650xl. I put a 212 Honda predator with a 10t clutch. fun little cart. finding wheels is a pain in the ass though...
Thanks man!
What is the chain that you used or what caliber??
Thanks man
any recommendations as to where i can find a sleeve/collar for the crankshaft. I replaced my motor and it no longer aligns with my sprocket. Any alternatives to buying one either?
+rollmodel88 yes Ebay is where i found the two i mentioned in the video. if i remember correctly they were fairly cheap
@@gokartsengines8175 Spacers are available from many go kart suppliers. The two mentioned in the video are called shaft lock collars, primarily made for jack shafts not to space clutches. But if it works for you it works. Spacers are available in 5/8 bore for the smaller displacement engines and 3/4 for the larger displacement engines, like a P212 cc. The best cure is to buy quality go kart race chain instead of the cheap Chinese chain. The cheap chain elongates (stretches) quickly and wears out fast causing many chain related problems. Alignment and lubrication along with proper chain tension usually cures the chain popping of problem.
When i come to a stop om mine, the chain comes off. Any suggestions?
what size sprocket are you using
How do you aline those sprockets?
Thx👍
noticed my clutch was moving back and forth a good few mm, thought nothing of it, and still got mad when the chain popped off every ten feet. i'll try this after school thank you 🙏
How do you tiightin it when it keeps spinning the shaft
Where did u get the rings from
by the way I have the same go kart as you but different motor, what brand is it? i got mine off of craigslist for $250 with a HV Horizontal Shaft Gas Engine EPA 212cc
+Safar'sAirsoft tech my frame is actually very rare and un heard of. its made by Indian motorcycle company
What type of go cart os it i have one but dont know what it is
What size of chain do you have are your kart
What size bolt is taht in the clutch
what size is the chain
What about if the 2 sprockets are not lined up properly?
Chain will pop off and over a period of time your chain will start to warp
+Gregory Garner I had that problem on my original go kart.
You have to make sure its aligned properly
+Gregory Garner I don't have it anymore.
my chain popped off and I can't get the bike to start how do I get it to start up again
Thanks mine kept breaking off it about hit me and was wondering why it kept breaking off
If my chain falls of can it also be from a bent sprocket
Will do, thank you.
What size is that chain .. not length but teeth depth size
What is that ring called?
what did you use for so the clutch won't move
It's a spacer with a tightening screw build in
Juan Hernandez lock collar
this was the vid I was looking for I have a engine like that and the chair keeps falling off
Thank you, sir. I bought this old kart from some one who had it park on his yard. I bought a new motor and have some one installed. I was a belt driving, something went wrong when he installed the motor, and he told me to by a new clutch, now is just like the one on your video. My 8 year old drove it for about two weeks. Then the motor begging to make a
new noise. I will check what you mentioned. Thank you. By the way, I know that my English is not as good. I hope that you understand. Thank you, sir.
+Javier Espinosa thanks for commenting, let me know how it works out.
Go karts usually use roller chain right ?
Why is the middle bolt spinning when I try to crank it up?
Bru
Mantap bang
the rings you showed are collars. make sure to leave enough space between them and clutch for a bit of oil. they do hold in heat. but great idea
This video made me realize how immature I am 😂
im having trouble with mine when i start it,it imidiately goes and this is hard for a pull start but i have the same problem here with the clutch i have to get to fix it some time and how can i fix the imidiate start
Could be the clutch, also could be that your throttle is not actually hooked up to the carb.
Noah Barnes I had the same problem with my dirt bike. Turns out that the clutch was seized up and it acted more like a direct drive. I filled the clutch with motor oil and ran the engine until the stuff burned off, and now it's fine.
Also what are the bolts called when u said if the washer dont work
Juan Hernandez shaft spacers
Where did you get the bolts for the shaft so it doesn’t move bro?
Can you tell me why the chain on my go kart turns without pressing the gas, please? Thank you
+Javier Espinosa that could be as simple as your throttle is engaging constantly (check you throttle lever), could be a moter problem, or a broken clutch. also you may have set up the throttle cord to your peddle wrong
idle
sometimes insufficient lube of the clutch. You mean: is it pulling forward immediately after starting it, when it is at idle? Two things: The clutch springs need adjusted (see: Doug Underdahl youtube channel) or else as I said the gap between the shaft and the inside of the clutch needs a drop of lube dropped down there. DO NOT put the lube in the round holes on the side of the clutch that will ruin it.
Javier Espinosa bad clutch I had the same problem got a new clutch works fine
Idle set too high
do you have a kawasaki 2 stroke dirtbike for sale
what are those rings wirth bolts called?
Ameliorate clutch spacers or lock collars
Thanxz bro
Wesley Wilson no problem man thank you
Can anyone tell me please the rear size chain of a Coleman ct200u.
Chain size is 420
I'm building one from ground up ...an my sprocket on tire is smaller well that make a difference on take off m run time
Youll have less torque so acceleration, but top speed is better i have a 10th clutch with 48th sprocket went 36mph stock
What size that chain is?
Probably a 420
My 3.5 horse power predator is not enough for my go kart can you tell my why? Not enough power ?
Jacqueline Palencia get the 212cc it has alot more power and get a torque converter for more torque snd it should be fine
whats the name of the thing he showed at 1:21 to hold the clutch
lock collar.
Hey man, my chain keeps falling off, its loose and whenever i press on the gas, the chain spins and doesnt catch on the gear because its soo loose
Tighten the chain, use a chain cutter
I dont have a chain cutter, I only have a bike chain breaker and thats too small
+Louis grind the pin down flat hammer and punch it out after.thats the old fashion way befor they have chain breakers.
I sold my go kart, thanks for the info tho. I'll use it if my new go kart starts to have that problem.
Louis what'd you get for it?
Thanks for the information he was helpful and all of them I'm going to have to check. Chain never used to fall off now all-of-a-sudden is it was brand new so I'm hoping that it's just wearing in there's nothing actually wrong
Called shaft collar
what size is your chain and where did you get it?
BMI sells karting accessories but it depends on your sprocket size and length between the 2 sprockets
What size bolt is it?
+Safar'sAirsoft tech the bolt is a 5/16" - 24 x 1 1/4 you're gonna need some washers too.
ok thanks man!
no problem
Can u send me a link or what to look up on eBay to find those spacers or maybe even give them to me
Bruh
"my shaft is too long" uh huhuhu huhhuhuh
hahaha
I have a tool box just like that.
Dude you trying to give people tips but look at your chain all kinked up 😂
My shaft is too long...
My shaft is too long not on my go cart tho 0:45
Okay Mr 3in
Omb says the clutch should float on the shaft....
How can fix the clutches on the mini bike
depends what is wrong
+ben lawton its hanging up not moving at all
Rickey Holliday just get a new one they are only 7 pounds
Use loctite and a lock washer
could you do a video on how to change it
plaeas
+Geoffrey Rj whow to change the chain?
me
I thought it was because of all the vibrations
Your chain looks very frozen up
Your clutch is on the wrong way that's why your chain keep slipping off lmao
No it's actually not. Go karts don't use the clutch facing inwards.
Hilo
Mine broke all off
And those sharp sprocket teeth, worn out!
What ever or what ever doesn’t explain much
