I wouldn't know how to tell. I'd say that is a crazy amount of speed for a stock cart. I'm sure you'll have to pull the gears and count the teeth.

Re: How do i tell if i have 8:1 gears
Breugel has a good point. I would look into a good set of front brakes (front disc brake kit) if you plan on running anywhere above 30mph. They can get dangerous at high speeds and the braking on a hill will be almost none with only rear brakes at a high rate of speed.

Re: How do i tell if i have 8:1 gears
it's like building a race car, you can't compliment one system without complimenting the opposing system. intake to exhaust, acceleration to braking etc. heck, at my age i'm just happy to putt around the ranch and enjoy nature

Putting around and enjoying nature sounds like one good afternoon to me.

Re: How do i tell if i have 8:1 gears
pop the motor off spin the rear tires by hand, count the rotation of the input shaft 8 revs = one tire rotation if 8:1 gears, 12 revs = 12:1 etc.
