Need some help with gearing
« on: May 12, 2013, 12:33:27 pm »
Hello everyone new guy here looking for a little help. I am running in the GP class this year and wondering what sprockets to use on the tranny and axle. I will be running a 17.5 OHV briggs motor. 6 inch pulley on motor and transmission. Any help would be great.

are you running a 700 trans, or a transaxle? if you are using the 700, you will want to reduce the size of the trans pulley to a 4". i am unsure about the overall ratio you need, as it will depend on many variables.
If you quit when you're behind, you will never win.
