Default Electric to gas conversion

Hello everyone I recently converted my 1990 Ez go to a harbor freight 420cc 13 hp engine, what I did was a live axle set up in the rear. New problem is I keep throwin chains off my alignments are all good I think it's the axle articulation causing a delay in my fun. I do have to stock electric Ez go axle. Is there a way that I can get a drive and driven clutch set up to work on that electric axle? Has it been done or any threads about doing so? Any info would be greatly appreciated, I want to get rid of the chain set up and go belt drive and be reliable. Thanks everyone!

I know this is a bit late, but it looks like you need to add a spring loaded idler sprocket to take up the slack and keep the chain tight.

I did add a tensioner I had one originally. I put in a heavier tension spring on it seemed to help resolve my issue.

Cool,

Interested in seeing how fast it will run and how forward to reverse shifting works out with engine running,
