Pto centering

[ted johnson]

Since you can't move your engine up and down to adjust the chain, if the crank's centered on the axle, adjustment will be a PAIN! Do not use rubber under the engine mount to the kart mount. Palmini and others used to use fat rubber washers under the engine mount, but this practice was discontinued. Rubber from front of a swing mount to frame rail is O.K., but tests done years ago proved that rubber that absorbs engine vibration also absorbs horsepower. I use a link made of a male and female Heim joint screwed together to snub the front end of a swing mount or gearbox to the frame. It seems to work well. I've been using this setup now for ten years or more. TJ
