Hello All,
I recently bought 2 used, stock db30s.....one of the two is working fine and will remain stock for my 9 and 12 year old.....the other has a burned up clutch, so I've decided to rob our go cart engine and clutch (Subaru Robin 4.0 horse) to put on the second mini...
I removed the Subaru engine from the go-cart today and have it sitting on my work bench.....since it hasn't been started in at least a year, I'm trying to get it running on my work bench before I put it in the mini.....however, it's proving to be quite stubborn.....I can't get it to turn over.....I took the spark plug out of the engine to watch for spark while I turn the engine over with a drill, but I'm not seeing any spark....
There are two kill switches in series, one on the engine and the other to be mounted somewhere....If I Ohm them out, what am I looking for? does the kill switch open the engine to ground, therefore killing it? If this is the case, then in order to run, the connection from the engine kill wire should not be open all the way through both switches......correct?
One more question.....does anybody have any recommendations for sprocket sizes? the clutch on the Robin has 12 teeth and is setup for 35 chain type.
Also, the go cart was set up with a chain going from a 12t on the clutch to a 12t/36t jackshaft, then to the wheel sprocket....see attached picture of jackshaft....should I try to use this on the mini??
