Ok so the 200cc will not just bolt right into the red kart and the frame on that kart is very rusty under the paint so it will be receiving the 110cc for kids only. 14hp will go in the black two seater i guess. Considering it's such an old motor, I wonder if I can get away with using a 1" 30...

Originally I planned to put the 200 in the black kart but the rear suspension is way too weak for 50+ mph. I fear it also may be too weak for the torque that the 14hp will produce. Also I really don't want to have to buy a 40 series torque converter and then have to fab a bracket for the driven...

I have plastics for the bike but most are broken and cracked and I can't find replacements.

Two karts and a dirtbike frame...

Three choices for motor...

Yeah i thought it a little strange myself... although it does make physically turning the wheel much easier. From pointing straight ahead the wheel turns 1 1/4 turns in either direction. The steering column ends in a gear box similar to some tractor mowers. That's why i would like to clutch at...

Well that band brake is a cool idea... But this is a motor from a dirtbike. The clutch is enclosed. I was thinking of attaching my clutch cable to the existing brake pedal with a spring. I've never seen that idea for a steering wheel clutch and it's a great option. A little expensive considering...

Uhhh... well I'm not sure what that means but i had an idea about making the clutch and brake the same pedal like a tractor mower. connect clutch with a stiff spring so that the end of the pedal is brake and the spring eats the excess. two pedals with three uses. a third pedal is not an option...

If not, like I mentioned before, I have a Chinese 200cc 5 speed manual sitting in my garage. It doesn't run and I'm not sure whats wrong with it. It would be difficult to install a clutch and shifter on that kart though. Has anyone perfected the art of a clutch/brake combo yet?

OK so that will not be fast enough. Is there any way to strip that clutch and install a torque converter?

haha! glad i figured out how to do that...

OK. I spent some time on google researching those numbers. But thats just the model number for the motor. The same model # showed varying transmissions. When running that motor, i noticed it did not shift on it's own and there is no shifter lever on the motor. Is it possible that this motor only...

ok i managed to upload some pics in an album. I've flushed the motor and rigged the throttle and managed to run the motor. Only one gear. It looks like it would have some kind of transmission not just a simple centrifugal clutch. I am hoping someone knows or has a great idea about it please.
