[707offroad]

After thinking about it for a year I concluded that i should go a different route with the engine. I had a new in the box Chinese 200cc 4 stroke 5 speed manual with electric start that I bought for another project and decided to use it on this buggy project.

I started by making an engine cradle mount with a jackshaft. This gave me tons of gearing options and gave me the clearance I needed for the shifter linkage.













I couldn't find a shaft mount sprocket that matched the pitch of the countershaft sprocket on the engine so I made my own out of two sprockets.



I had to anneal the larger sprocket in order to bore out the id.
