Default Starter Karter>>>

Hey everyone...I'm new to the go kart crowd but for years have been building Mopars for myself and or clients. This is my first go kart build. It started two years ago and was spurred by the fact i work around scrap yards and parts we either free or purchased by the pound literally. Here are some pics and there is more info in my album about it and what it took the get it together. I would like to thank my machinist and everyone who has taken the time to help out. Thanks for looking...my next project already started is a scaled sand rail...pics forthcoming.

Thanks guys...the GY6 CVT took a little tuning with weight added to the driver and a spring "clippin" on the driven. Also had to turn the swinging clutch hammers around seeing how it is turning opposite than originally.

Lol, Some women are into this stuff, some aren't.
The first person to drive my daughters kart after it was finished (besides me) was her mum; she loves it

Jeez- Usually, when "Chinese" and "Dog" get used in the same sentence, it's in reference to a restaurant! Just kidding... Looks great, man!
