Hey Dp,
Keep in mind I don't have one of these karts, I'm just reading the manual. It says you remove the plastic chain guard, then unloosen the motor mount bolts, and slide the engine back until the desired chain tension is acheived. Tighten the motor mount bolts, put the chain guard back on, and away you go! Pretty much how I had to tighten the belt on my 6 wheeler when I had her, primative but it does the trick.
Jake.
