Go kart Sprockets

[jl42206]

Hey guys this is my very first post. Im looking at getting some new sprockets for my go kart. I want to get a 45 tooth big sprocket and a 20 tooth little sprocket. I figured this would be the best set up for top speed which is what im looking for. But my problem is the big sprocket is made for a number 40 chain and the little one is made for a 35 chain. Is there a chain that will work for both of these sprockets together?

nope...they gotta be the same pitch.

a 20 and a 45 will give you big top end speed, just make sure your pusher can run 30MPH!

Do you know anywhere that i could get some that are the same pitch?

The smallest go kart sprocket I've seen is a 53 tooth in a 35 pitch.

Which is easier to change? Ft or rear ? Are they on a hub or direct to the axle.
What size is the axle or jackshaft/ clutch.

Is the #35 the clutch or a jackshaft sprocket? What is your HP ? Reason I ask is 35 or 40 better for you ?

Lots of places to get what you need.
