    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

      @@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.

    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 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

    • @SvenStadt
      @SvenStadt 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
