I too have been looking into doing one of these alternators/generators under the flywheel as my block has the mounts for it. The issue personally is the high cost of a magnetic flywheel (internal for the alternator). You're lucky to have one from the beginning!

A kart is only as fast as the operator will allow it to be. That is a lot of power, but to be honest it was my original goal for my kart. Hook up the shifter to have a sequential. If your engine is to the side of you, you would have to fit it behind most likely. Is that engine air cooled...

Hey all, I've been trolling around here picking up whatever information that I may:thumbsup:. My kart is an old frame that my grandfather and father gave me on my 6th birthday. Back then it had a B&S flat head 5hp with a jack shaft that pulled the power way down. Since then, I've decided that...

What is that? Like 800 million people then? haha, thanks!

Not sure how I should be searching for these kits, charging circuit kit and other variants using charge(ing) coil, etc are giving me nothing. Is there a better, more universal name for these systems?

I will be very interested to see the outcome! Natural gas would be cool to see on a kart. Best of luck!

I know this has been gone over several times: adding a charging system to a kart. We all see that alternators are too parasitic for most of us (I am only 7hp stock), and running a battery to be recharged is just too simple, and I would prefer not to have to charge before I go out for a run. If...

That's what I was looking to find out. I'm used to playing with forced induction cars and fuel injection, this carb thing is new to me. So unless the engine demands more air/fuel, I will likely just start running it rich with a larger carb (bigger isn't always better?!?!)? What bothering me...

Im looking to get some extra power out of my Kohler command pro7. I have an exhaust in the works, and I am now looking to add more fuel/air. The issue is that the carb is not mounted normally. Notice how the mounts are not perpendicular to the center line of the carb in this picture...
