Default Re: Lack of power

Sorry it took so long to reply, my kart is 150 miles away at the cottage ,just got back from working on it,its hard trying to diagnose and fix the problem , but here it goes. Compression check was o.k. at 168 psi ,but found the real problem, i think. The inner secondary sleave was all rounded out , worn pretty good. How come it went bad, i bought power kit which comes with that new sheave and a heavier spring, was the spring pressure to much or was it a lack of grease in fitting ? I do have a service manual and it shows a circlip, but found none on my kart and the trans shaft does not have a groove in it, is that o.k. ? So it looks like i,m going to replace the sheave and ramp shoes, Anything else ? Sorry, one more thing. I noticed that when looking down on the engine bracket tensioner there wasnt any , no cable ,lock nut, nothing. Will it hurt without it ? Thanks.
