Drive means for kart

Kart drive arrangement involves a stroke piston or rotary piston engine as drive source and a reduction gearwheel gear (26) between the engine and the rear wheel drive shaft (6). The gearwheel gear is fitted in a common housing (10) with the crankshaft (17) of the stroke piston engine or with the engine shaft of the rotary piston engine. The axis distances (a,b) of the gear gearwheels are unalterably determined in the housing. The drive gearwheel of the gear is arranged on the crankshaft or engine shaft whilst the driven gearwheel of the gear is on the rear wheel drive shaft. The common housing is closed. The drive gearwheel is rotatably located on the crankshaft or engine shaft, its connection with them being means of a centrifugal clutch.
