I don't know too much about snowmobiles so bear with me real quick here. What kind of brake setup do most snowmobiles use? I would assume disc brakes, but are they hydraulic or are they just a simple setup using a brake cable? I need a brake setup for my off road go cart project. I have a disc brake on the jackshaft right now and they don't work for squat.

Both are used.
Maybe the caliper needs adjustment?

Show us a picture of what you have so we can tell you how to set it up.

I'll post a picture up at the beginning of next week. I'm leavin tomorrow for a family trip, but either way im going to need a new disc. The one I had got bent tonight when a hammer bounced off the block and hit it. I got sick of the old 12hp motor and decided to blow it up since it gave me nothing but trouble and stranded me a couple miles from home twice. Either way I think I'd like to switch to hydraulic if possible. It might see some high speeds and quick stopping would be desired.

The older sleds had cable disc. That Wild Cat would have like a 6-7" disc and a cable set up! With a foot pedle it would stop you very well!
