      I’ve got an old Margay that’s almost new. I want to run it in 206 or animal but I would need to get a jackshaft to get around the 3rd rail which is angled back to far for chain clearance.

      I have locally a great welder/steel fabricator so it would be easy to move the rail forward on the right side. I’m thinking there are others who have done this and I just want to know if this would make a noticeable difference in the handling of the chassis and how did it change.

      Thanks,

      I don’t think it will make too much of a difference.  I did it to my sons arrow ax8 cadet kart and we have had no problems.
