Builders, please verify alignment of the drive pulley with driven pulley on the engine side. You might need to add more spacing on the drive/crankshaft before putting the pulley on. You don't want the belt to be cocked, it should be perfectly straight on the engine side.

Feels like it's slipping going up hills , the governor is still hooked up not sure if that's the issue , the kart is slow , pick up is good but no top end like 10mph tops. I'm gonna try a smaller sprocket 72 too a 62 tooth. Running a 7 inch OD tire so the sprocket and tire are basically the same size.

If you do get a billet flywheel or be careful about over revving, the OEM flywheel is basically a hand grenade after a few trips north of 3500rpm.. If you want more revs, after flywheel upgrade you'll need heavier valve springs or the valves will float. Don't go nuts on pressure or you could wipe the stock cam. 8 od 10 pound springs will work.
