    I would love to have a scenario that enables me to adjust potential throttle easily based on who is riding the kart if that is indeed possible. BTW, here is a picture of my first welding practice. The side you cant see is much worse :)

    So i have the new front tires on thanks to the HF small tire changer. The engine runs great and so does the kart. The kart still moves without the break engages but I guess thats a small tweak with the idle screw. I like the screw on the throttle that limits the distance you can open it up...

    Here is a picture of the mounted engine. Luckily, I own a sporting goods store with a bike shop so I have all the throttle cable I need for the new configuration. My R rear tire has about 10 plugs in it and still doesn't hold air. I can't afford a new tire right now. Any reason not to put a...

    Ill try it it tonight. Does anyone know of stock aftermarket exhaust for this? I mentioned in a post that i don't know how to weld, although that is the next adventure.

    Here is the crankshaft from the honda. I imagine i just take out the set screw and remove the geared part on the shaft, but isn's the shaft too short?

    So without any welding experience, how would one fabricate the new exhaust? BTW, it is near impossible to get any welding training here in NJ. The times that the Vo-Tech has classes are impossible, i emailed all supply houses without a single reply. I emailed a couple folks on Craigslist to see...

    Great point. Do you have any idea on the overall speed difference between the 5hp 160cc Honda and a HF 6.5 212?
