thanks for all the input, I am definantly weighing my options, the bike motor sounds good but designer a shifter would be fun (though about putting handlebars insead of steering wheel) but also, I found a comet driven with a 7/8" bore but cannot find any jackshaft kits over 3/4". Any ideas to do...

Thank you. I guess the belt size will be determined on my jackshaft placement

I have decided to go with a 16 HP duromax engine and the comet 40 tq. But before I buy everything I need help with what exacty to get for the tq and jackshaft. Should I get the jackshaft kits off eBay and then just make sure my tq has the right size pully. What size minimum should I use. I have...

I just attach a sproket to the torque converter the run my chain off that correct?

it is heavy, according to the website 500lbs, the option of the 150 was becuse that is what came on it, but I think I am going to go with the predator

here are a few pictures

the clone would is 275, but it has the long shaft made for a wheel. a sprocket would be too small, i would have to change the drive shaft so a sproket would fit. it sounds like a headache

I can get a scooter engine clone gy6 150cc, the only problem is the drive is made for the scooter wheel to slide on, how do you guys think I can use this to attach a sproket to drive my axle. My other option is to buy a harbor fright 420cc and add a torque converter. What would be better

would i be better off then getting a complete engine off the internet (one of the chinese replacement deals) or buying a 12-13 hp motor and adding a torque converter to it?

I have a 10hp briggs motor that came off of a generator, it has a tapered shaft, I know that will need to be fixed, but I guess I should decide if I am going to use that motor. then decide what type of clutch

what size karts do you guys have, would one of those predator engines with a centrifugal clutch be strong enough for a buggy. baja dune150

I got a baja dune 150 with no motor, I was thinking of putting one of the 212 hp predator motors from harbor freight, do you think this will be enough power? the buggy weighs 500 lbs already
