    Is a 6.5 hp preator big enough for this frame?

    so you think the clone with the 1" bore would work fine? Also, i got the motor running with carb cleaner but i dont know if i need to rebuild the carb or if it was just the fuel pump because i took the carb off and the float and everything looks fine. any ideas how to troubleshoot it?

    well a clutch came with the motor because the guy tried running just the clutch on that live axle. But do you think that 6.5 hp would be a big enough engine for it?

    Is a 6.5 hp preator big enough for this frame?

    I actually have another smaller go kart with the sprocket on the wheel, so if i got the kohler running could i just put it on that with a centrifugal clutch? Also the sprocket that's on the live axle right now is a 60t so if i bought a torque converter for the 6.5 hp would that be good enough to...

    Is a 6.5 hp preator big enough for this frame?

    i got the motor to turn over now hopefully it should be running when i get a new spark plug and some new gas in it. now for the torque converter could i just use a comet 30? also i found out the kohler is only a 11 hp motor

    help on my dune buggy project??

    the 14 hp kohler doesn't have a gas tank but has electric start and when i turn the key all it does is just click and i cleaned off the connections and it still just clicked. also i took the spark plug and it was gunked up but i could turn the shaft. i think it might be the solenoid but if it...
