Hey everyone!
Here's my story.
I recently bought an 09' SunL 150cc gokart off craigslist (SLGK-160A). The seller said it wouldn't start because of a bad coil, which was conveniently removed from the kart, and a broken chain. Thinking it was an easy fix, I bought the cart off him, and ordered a coil and fixed the thing up. I started it up, kicked it in gear and revved it, and heard a terriable noise coming from the back. Then I found out that was not the problem afterall, the seller had lied to me because the transmission had gears with missing teeth. I'm bitter about it, but if I can get it fixed, I'll get over my bitterness.
You live and learn right... now I know something else to check next time I buy a kart. Anyway I've been trying to locate these parts and have had very little luck, then I stumbled across this forum and it seems like a great place for me to do some research. (I'll post the questions in a different place though since this is the new member section).
Thats my story. Here are some pictures of the broken teeth on the gears.
