![]() The easiest way to determine the pitch is to measure either a sprocket or a chain from your kart. How do I know what pitch I have on my kart? As a general rule of thumb, most 2-stroke karts use #219 pitch chain and most 4 stroke karts use #35 pitch chain, but this is not a hard and fast rule due to the benefits of each type of chain and the purpose of the go kart. In Australia, we generally use one of two size chains to transmit power from engines to axles our karts. What types of chains are used on Racing Go Karts? This is the same distance between the tip of each tooth on a brand new sprocket of the same pitch: Or, from the centre of the link plate to the centre of the next link plate (inner plate centre to outer plate centre). The pitch of the chain is basically the distance from centre of roller to centre of roller. ![]() ![]() A picture is a thousand words (so to speak) so here’s a diagram of an arbitrary chain: ![]() I am often asked the question “Will this chain fit my kart?” and “What is the best pitch to use for my project?” so I’ve decided to write this informative but straight-forward guide focussed on the two popular go-kart chain sizes 35 pitch and 219 pitch.įirstly, to explain pitch we need to understand the basic components of the chain.
