For that Honda 390, talk to Master Hack. He can give you the parts list that will give you 2 & 1/2 times the power of the stock engine.

I think Edwin's post #2 is dead right on. Impossible, No. Practical, Feasible, Economically worthwhile, not even close. And he did a great job clearly explaining all of the reasons why not.

Keep riding man. Yeah, buy a used frame with suspension on both ends. Trying to modify a ridged framed kart sounds like a losing proposition. Lots of work, A fair amount of money, and probably less than ideal results. And PLEASE, don't be sorry for the long rant. We're all here to help, and or...

If the cam still has the compression release component on it, you won't notice much difference in pull starting it. If you don't have the compression release, ripping it out of your hand is almost an understatement. Been there, done that. DON'T want to do it again.

You kinda nailed it Hellion. I too still feel like the amusement park ride when I'm in one of my karts. It isn't just that they have cars. 3 are in there 20's. Oldest starting his own business, other two full time college and part time jobs, and the two high schoolers, their parents have them so...

Welcome! Looks like it's been sitting out for a while.

Maybe safer. Some parts of Mexico ( even in the northern parts ) are getting quite dangerous. How long has it been Cabo to Cabo, do you know?

R.D. Mercer, I'm 78 and am starting to get to the end of my karting time. Mostly because all my Grandkids now have their own cars and the karts don't appeal to them like in years past. Anyway a kart with suspension on both ends as compared to one with front only like yours is NIGHT and DAY...

Hellion, have you ever purchased an ARC rod? ( any displacement size ) and held it in your hand? I'm not trying to be korny here, but the darn things are almost like jewelry. When you take it out of the box, before separating the cap, you can't even tell that it is two pieces. I mean the machine...

The sign in your post says " Cabo to Cabo". Did they change the route? It always used to be from Ensenada to La Paz.

ARC Billet rod and flywheel, Twister cam, 50lb valve springs, head has been milled .030" and professionally ported. Stock style carboreator with larger main and pilot jets. Header pipe exhaust. No more than 5 hours run time since new. Two pictures of air cleaner so you know it wasn't run...

Maybe it's a radio of some sort. I was ( and always am) thinking of an internal combustion engine.

At a huge risk of being completely humiliated for blatant ignorance, what is a " yagi "? That thing you bought yesterday.

Get the thick heavy duty one. ( They might not come any other way ). The 301 is almost as heavy as the 420. More than double the small block.
