Prepare the go-kart: Ensure the go-kart is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off. If necessary, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental engine starts.

Remove the old chain: Depending on the go-kart model, you may need to remove certain components such as a chain guard or axle cover to gain access to the chain. Use the appropriate tools to remove any fasteners or screws holding these components in place. Set aside the fasteners in a safe place so you can find them later.

Break the old chain: Use a chain breaker tool to break the old chain. Follow the instructions provided with the chain breaker tool to safely and effectively break the chain into separate links. Take note of the number of links in the old chain to ensure the new chain is the correct length.

Measure and cut the new chain: Measure the length of the old chain or use the chain alignment tool to determine the appropriate length for the new chain. If necessary, use the chain breaker tool or other cutting tool to trim the new chain to the correct length. Be careful when cutting the chain and ensure a clean and straight cut.

Install the new chain: Place the new chain onto the sprockets, starting from the drive sprocket and working towards the driven sprocket. Ensure that the chain engages with the teeth of the sprockets properly. If necessary, use pliers or a screwdriver to guide the chain onto the sprockets.

Connect the chain: Depending on the type of chain and master link or connecting link provided, follow the instructions to connect the chain ends together. This may involve installing a master link or using a connecting link. Ensure that the chain is properly aligned and seated in the links.

Adjust the chain tension: Proper chain tension is important for optimal performance and longevity. Adjust the chain tension by moving the rear axle or adjusting the tensioner mechanism.
