Oh I know the potential for idiots in the passenger seat which is why I would incorporate a lockout. The shifter would be for someone I trust to coordinate our efforts.

Pix I just welded in the riser frame for the rear seat last night. This will also serve to house the main fuel tank and possibly a small tool storage space. On another note... I was brainstorming about the routing of my shift linkage and thought it would be cool to allow an option...

I went to check out the price list for the plans on that design here: http://edge.au.com/store/category1_1.htm And there appears to be plans for another rear suspension (in that price list) that I did not see pictures of. It was titled "Plan- Double A arm - Comprehensive plans to build the...

Well in my case it will be off road... http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1880

I tried searching for diaphragm fuel pumps and mostly got mechanical diaphragm pumps and much larger than I thought pumps. Can you recommend one to look at, or key words I can use to fine the right one for this application?

More Pix... The operating room: Overhead View, Hey it looks like a coffin, hmmm. Another angle These were taken last night. It has been getting cold and my heater has trouble keeping up in my un-insulated garage. I think I may begin shopping around for the main fuel tank now. The...

Yeah I noticed the mention of a diaphragm pump but I didn't quite grasp the concept of how they function. I will do some more research on them.

No issues at the moment because the drive line does not yet exist. I am still exploring my options. Definitely want independent suspension. But I was also kicking around other ideas as well such as dual swingarms. 1 motorcycle style swingarm per rear wheel. Not really sure which way I...

Has anyone seen a universal unit that will allow me to replace the sprocket on a motorcycle engine with a right angle drive shaft? I have searched ebay and lots on google. Maybe I am not using the right keywords? I envision it to have like a splined sleeve that slides onto the motor's counter...

I bought these recently on ebay. They are from a Yamaha Raptor 660. If all goes well, they will eventually be on my Kart which is under construction.

Could you take a picture of this for me? I am exploring options to quickly go between live and one wheel drive.

That is what I plan to do with square tube, but I was unsure if specific positioning of the triangles was crucial to the integrity. BTW modelengineer, do you work at "Edge"? I was planning to put my fuel tank under the rear seat since it will be lifted anyways and that will provide the perfect...

I just measured the frame. Length = Just under 10 ft Width (@ widest point) = 4 ft And while I'm posting, I wanted to get some advise on angles and positioning on bracing for the extended front. I am a bit worried that as long as it is, it might bend. I also considered welding an extra...

The reason I was considering a diff, When I first brought the kart home, it was in semi drivable condition with solid live axle. Turning the wheels all the way in either direction while moving forward did absolutely nothing. The kart would just push straight forward on the street grinding the...

I've seen that, it's perfect but a tad steep. I saved pics of it to study. I would definately be interested in those plans if you are offering. I also wanted to incorporate a differential so I would not have steering issues on hard ground. I liked this as a starting point...
