Do you ask that because when the gas is applied the engine just revs rather than the buggy starting to take off? I can hear a faint high pitch whine too that I can't identify. Also, when the driver comes off the gas altogether and still presumably in gear it sounds awful.. almost like a reverse gear. Is that the clutch slipping in reverse instead of the vehicle's momentum being transferred to the crankshaft? On a more positive note.. the exhaust sounds absolutely awesome. Be great to see the thing running when you sort out the issues. Did you build it yourself? What final ratio do you have on the differential? Cheers
@@Sidney-Holiday Good questions. It will take off fine but noticed that the rpms jump up and down if I am not fully on the throttle. I am learning about this motor having a slipper clutch also which is all new to me. Yeah the whine is when I am off the throttle in gear and sound worst on camera then when in it and driving, yeah it does sound like being in reverse. No reverse on this kart. Thanks I cut the yohsumira exhaust about 5 inches shorter. I will update with the 3rd test drive after I swap out oil and install a clutch pack and springs. Yes I built it from tubing that I bent and welded. 15T front and 49 rear / gear ratio is 3.26. Thanks

Thanks
Is clutch slipping?
yeah going to look at it tomorrow and see what it could be possible that my conversion to hydraulic from wire is off some,
