You're right!

I've finally completed my Dingo project after five years of blood sweat and tears. Most, if not all of you know the journey I took to finish this kart. It is not really a huge accomplishment, as I have spent a massive amount of time due to my non existent income. I am still proud of myself...

Wow! I jacked it up more than I originally thought then. I understood completely even while working that the throttle setup was wack, but thanks for the tip on the governor rod.

Wowza! That sprocket is gonna make it close, you’re going to have to run the torque converter straight back n down like a typical 30 series setup. That’s your best bet at least, if that doesn’t work then fabrications are going to have to be done. @KartFab this was built from your plans right...

I wonder if a moderator could merge my two most recent threads. I didn’t realize the last one was still up.

Sorry for double post!! link to engine running video

Oops! Forgot to mention I’m running a Honda GX390 on this kart. That’s what I’m having trouble with. I posted this in the wrong place. Anyways, here is what my throttle setup looks like currently (it’s very rigged):

I geared the kart down to 8T jackshaft 54T axle, just had to cut the engine mounting plate off and move it forward a bit. Having my gear ratio like that makes the kart do wheelies easily. I like how this ratio feels compared to my 9T 48T gearing. The jackshaft flange is fine how it is IMO.

Hey everyone! I’m back again and doing some tweaks to my dingo. I got it running and driving recently and did some wheelies on it today. I just pulled the governor out and started the engine back up and it ran at full rpm without stopping instead of idling. I figured I should completely redo...

not a problem, here’s how it looks, done a few things since i got my delivery from gps

after four years of blood, sweat, and tears, i sucked it up and bought 400 dollars worth of parts for this kart. the final package is coming in the mail today and i wanted to share some pictures in the case that anyone wanted to have an opinion on something before i bust out the welder. as seen...

ah yes, the price tag. I was referring to that sprocket because it looked like my original one. I'll stop by the shop to see if they have the right sprocket/hub

assuming that I haven't purchased a new sprocket yet, if i purchase this one what sprocket hub should i be looking to get?

The kart needs a new sprocket hub and sprocket. What do I need to know in order to make sure that the sprocket hub I order fits the sprocket?

Thanks. Will keep you guys updated on future events concerning this kart.
