Hello all,
I’m new to this forum and working on servicing a Manco 2 seater (can’t remember model number), which is pictured below. I’ve had it about a year and it runs pretty good but the chain was ran too loose and ate the teeth on the sprocket near the clutch, so I’m waiting on one I ordered to get here.
My main question - Is there anything I can do to help it steer better in the front without eating the tires? Some minimally complicated way to introduce camber, or some sort of bolt on kit that will help it to turn easier (especially at lower speeds. It has the live rear axle, so I know that contributes to it not wanting to turn due to both wheels spinning at the same speed, but is there anything that can be done to improve upon the factory design in that regard?
Secondary question - The rear sprocket on the axle sits very close to the ground and the clearance sucks. Is there a way that I can put a smaller sprocket there and maybe a slightly bigger sprocket on the shaft where the clutch is and achieve a similar balance of acceleration/speed?
Sorry if these are stupid questions to a more experienced gokart building crowd. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
