HI GUYS IM NEW AND HAVE SEARCHED OUT AN ATV FORUM FOR SOME TECH ASSISTANCE, THIS IS MY FIRST. I RECENTLY W/ MY GIRL HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED IN OFF ROADING W/ MINI BUGGIES AND GO KARTS. I HAVE A PARTICULAR KART I HAVE BEEN MAKING A PROJECT OF. MOST OF OUR MACHINES RUN ON 150CC GY6 CVT SCOOTER ENGINES. THIS ONE HAS A 10HPMOWER STYLE ROBIN/SUBARU MOTOR WITH COMET TORQUE CONVERTER. MY GREAT IDEA WAS TO MOUNT A BIG RED 250ES MOTOR TO IT (LOW GEAR , 4SP AUTO TRANNY W/ REV AND ELECTRIC START. MY PROBLEM IS I FOUND ONE ON EBAY AND IT IS ENROUTE AND I JUST REALIZED IT IS A SHAFT DRIVE MOTOR AND I THOUGHT IT WAS CHAIN DRIVE. MY QUESTION IS ; IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONVERT IT TO CHAIN DRIVE AND FROM WHAT MOTORS DO I NEED TO LOOK FOR PARTS FROM. UNLESS THERE IS A SIMPLE WAY TO DO IT VIA A KIT OR ETC. ALL IDEAS AND EXPERIENCE ARE WELCOME. I AM HELL BENT ON MAKING THIS WORK IF POSSIBLE AND IM NOT A BIG FAN OF "CANT". AT THIS POINT RETURNING IT WILL BE A $ LOSS (SHIPPING) SO ITS WORTH THE TRY. I FIGURED I'D TRY YOU GUYS FOR HELP SO I CAN SUPRISE THE GUYS ON MY BUGGY FORUM (TOP SECRET ) THEYD JUST BE JEALOUS ANYWAY.
ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME , THANKS JOHN

 

I don't really think theirs a kit or that you can convert it w/out changing the cases (im not sure though)... worse case try mounting the motor sideways,and use a small shaft with a gear on it to drive the chain
