Ah and I got a 212 predator motor donated to me. still in the box!

I haven't gotten to cutting up my motor. now that its cold out and we arent out on the toys as often I think Ill get to the trans project soon!

Is that the guy with the twin engine go kart? That thing is insane! Ahhhhhh.... SO I found another F engine at the scrap yard yesterday in great shape.... after looking at these motors side by side Im thinking .... building a twin! making an adapter and a housing to hold the engines together...

Oh, OK. As per my gear box, I am going to run a chain drive to it. Pretty much like an old harley did. Meat grinder! So anything you have now with say a 42 chain, Ill make a 42 sprocket to go on the input. output on the other side. easy.

yeah, I was just reading about the TOROs. I do believe.... there is a toro sitting next to the lawn boy a tthe scrap yard. It looked like an L head briggs, but those toro two strokes look like a L head briggs! Ill head back and check it out. I heard they are made by suzuki.

Its jsut a 150ish CC 2 stroke motor off of a lawn boy. They are pretty cool. no need to crank case oil, can be oriented in any direction. Shoot, moving the CDI you could even run it backwards I think. I found another one at teh scrap yard today and I found a tiller with a tillotson carb on it...

I have a buddy that cut the Trans part off of an iron head Sportster. It destroyed the Trans but I have a454 Kawasaki engine that is bad. Trans is great. I am going to take the plasma cutter to it this weekend and see if I can get the Trans of f. But the kick start is a good idea. I have a 250...

and not just a motorcycle motor. thats the easy way out.

Anyone ever come up with a multiple gear trans, besides putting like a lawn mower transaxle on a go kart. some thing that would have 4, 5 or 6 gears would be great as long as its not too big. Like if a harley trans was not so expensive.
