So I may have screwed up, and probably posting in the wrong section, but here goes.
The grandson blew up the 212 in the go kart last time he was out to visit. I live 200 plus miles from a Harbor Freight. So I can't just pop in to get a replacement engine. And they are never in stock it seems. I've stopped at 2 and had a couple buddies stop when they have been by one. No luck getting an engine. So I decided the next best thing would be whatever the thrift store had. I bought a snow blower with a 179cc Craftsman for $50. I got it running mostly with a carb cleaning.
So here is my oops moment. It has a 7/8" shaft. I'm not seeing any options for a clutch for it. Am I not looking hard enough? Did Craftsman do something crazy and machine a 1" shaft down to 7/8"? I'm not an expert but the engine looks like a Predator with an electric starter on it. It had no air filter, because snow blower. So I put on a filter I go from Gopowersports
