BTW,it is parilla engine.

tall EDIT: One more question.I could get a good deal on a 100cc tag kart engine over here in my town.Can you put some kind of tranny(maybe cvt) with on that kind of engines(since I see that people drive these engines with clutch and only single gear)? BTW,I am having a really hard time finding...

I know that this is REALLY stupid question,but can you put 8" or 10" tires on a racing chassis(instead of 6" tires)?

I managed to shorten my go kart to 150cm.This will make it more agile.Also,I need to find some medium tyres because I want to drive both on road and off road(grass,not mud though).

Anyone? I would really like to start project as soon as I can.

On my own frame design, the ratio between the rear part of the kart(where the seat and engine are) and the waist of the kart is 2.Is this OK?Or should the waist be narrower or wider?

Thanks,I decided to go narrow design. I'll make a drawing and send it to local pipe bending company.

OK,maybe a stupid question,but how do I mount sprocket on axle?I know how to mount bearings,but it seems that mounting a sprocket using of hammer is not a good idea.

Thanks for the link and explanation. But,regarding the frame itself(not wheels),does narrower front end of the frame design has any advantage over straight frame design? Example is in attachment.The part marked with blue is narrower than the part marked in red.Does this kind of design has any...

I think this way.If I want do build it,I want to build right!

And here is my second dilemma.You know how racing karts have front part of the chassis(the part that is near the front wheels) narrower than the back of the chassis(the part that is near the rear wheels).Example is this image. But,many homemade karts use straight chassis(like this one)...

Hello to everybody, I just joined this forum because I am atemmpting to build fast kart with 125cc 2 stroke engine(with gearbox),otherwise known as shifter kart. My major dilemma is regarding the width of the back axle and front tire holder(the steel pipe on which ends are front tires). My go...

My name is Adrian and I come from Croatia.I am intending to build go kart using steel frame and 125cc 2 stroke engine. I have a dilemma or two regarding the build,so that's why I joined this forum. I hope conversation with people on forum will be productive.
