Problem solved: I'm a little embarrassed but in the night I realized I hadn't fully checked the coupling, woke up and checked the shaft coupling and sure enough it interfered with the frame by just a millimeter. So I was gouging a bit of the powder coat and surface every half rotation. The solution was immediately apparent, the transmission mount spacers were mounted on the wrong side of the mount, weren't doing anything. I fixed that and applied some paint to the gouged area, wheels are spinning freely now.
I've got IRS and I'm attempting my first go-kart. When I put it into gear and move the rear wheels about every half rotation I feel the rear shudder. I've only pulled it about halfway out the garage then back in because of it. Could that be just that the tires are badly aligned or is there something more serious, perhaps with the differential? I've only eyeballed the alignment based on the measurements in the instructions until I can get a more professional one done. Looking at everything in the rear nothing seems off, everything is tight and doesn't appear to be interfering.
