Reverse would be nice, but when I was a kid we never had reverse on any karts we had and we got along just fine. Heck, we never had suspension either, so she'll still be one up over what we had as kids.
Thanks for the advice. As for buying an incomplete unit, I believe at this point I'd be better off buying a complete engine and start from there, rather than fix the transmission and then chase other problems with this engine. I'm fairly certain it hasn't been cared for as well as I'd like to think it should have been. Part of the CVT has been damaged by the PO trying to remove it, plus with the very real possibility there will be missing pieces and parts, I think a whole engine assembly will be the way to go. Plus that'll give me more time to focus on other things with the buggy.
