diy go kart chain tensioner

Too much slack in my chain. No room to adjust. I needed to fabricate my own chain tensioner to remove they slack in the chain.

I just made a similar spring tensioner on my buggy. Haven't had a chance to see if it makes a difference. Have you noticed a difference with yours? Not throwing chains as much?

This chain tensioner works great. Never have an issue with it throwing a chain. Keeps constant pressure on the chain so it doesn't slap around loose.

@justinsauer5682 Awesome. I'm running a Duromax 440 (basically the same as your Predator 420). I have the same engine plate too. I have plenty of room to move the engine to tighten the chain but I got tired of constantly adjusting the chain before and after every ride. Last thing I needed was to get stranded. Thanks again for the idea.
