Thanks for posting this video. I went through the exact same problem with the Harbor Freight Motor a few nights ago. Ended up pulling the trigger on this engine and it arrived today. You just saved me hours of figuring out the mounting and accelerator and oil shutoff mods. Thanks! Boys will be blasting around sooner than expected on this free curbside gokart.

I ran into the same situation as you with the chain length,shortened it twice, and still short.I ended up just adding a couple washers between the motor and mounting bracket, and got it perfect with the torque a verter.
