I am trying to restore a few engines and karts from 90s and early 2000s.
Engines:
Yamaha kt100
Rotax DSC Formula A
Parilla Leopard TAG
Roller frames:
Top Kart (small tubing)
Top Kart (larger tubing)
PTK/ CRG
I raced for several years but never got to fully learn how to work on the engines and carburetors. My engine builder passed away and I want to honor him by restoring these karts (maybe even race in a vintage class if they do it here in Phoenix)
I’m a noob in terms of working on the engines so thank you in advance for your patience and help!
I have a long crank (for a wet clutch previously). I run direct drive so I think they put some spacer on the shaft. I have a gear puller but it isn’t long enough to reach the gear. Any suggestions on how to remove it?
I already removed the starter nut but can’t remove the spacer or the gear.
Try using a torch to heat the ring and gear to expand the metal enough to break free of the shaft and slide off. Don’t over do it or you may scorch the seals.
Thanks everyone, I picked up a gear puller set and got it off. It was just stuck on there well. Interestingly, the gear is friction fit only with no key.
