wow dont see how i over looked this i just noticed the motor i am going to buy is a 4 stroke and everything ive read on the site says 2 stroke is better what do you guys think?

Ok just called my local freight harbor and will be picking up a 6.5hp motor in the next few days along with the steel

You could mig weld it but its a real pain in the a$$ to do

Oh yea that's right I completly forgot about that but is there any special thickness I should use for this project?

ok did some research on the harbor freight motors and they seem to have a good repuation so im gonna go to my local store and see what they have in stock. but still gotta make it to the metal yard and pick up some stock to use. i will be using 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 stock but what thickness do you guys...

thanks for the quick reply and the reason i said 125 is me and all my friends are gonna be building karts and are going to be doing almost auto cross with the karts and i want to be able to slide easily and i just want a turbo to turn heads lol i had trouble desgining the kart frame myself so i...

Hey guys new to this site and was curious about making a shifter kart. I'm working on a frame desgine rite now and will post a pic later but curious what would dicent motor that could do about 125ish? And this even sounds dumb to me but if I go with a bike motor is it possible to turbo it...
