Default Kart is too torquey.Smaller sprocket question.

So i have a 1 wheel drive kart with a Torque Converter ratio of 4.8:1.

Problem is it LOVES to spin the tires and lay rubber for 2 seconds before it even starts to move and afterward it keeps on spinning. Now as awesome as i thought this would be, i'd never thought i'd say this, but it has much more torque than i desired.

**? Question- How much of a torque decrease i would have if i change from a 10 tooth driver to a 12 tooth driver? mainly needing to know if it would spin too much . i love the spin but not to the point i can't move anywhere.

i would use a 14 tooth but i cant find any for a #41 chain. and cant find a smaller driven sprocket than 48 with a bolt hole circle of 2-7/8'' for a #41.
