    engine stalling

    Probably the low oil sensor. Just disconnect it and it'll solve it :)

    my plans for a high end track cart

    Is this a troll? You can't spell, and you're talking about fabricating GTEs and building chassis out of carbon fibre?

    sideways project

    That sounds a bit ambitious with that frame.....

    Pit bike

    You see lifan bikes/quads everywhere. Whilst it's not going to be half as good as a full size bike, it will do what it says on the tin.

    Shifting Idea - anyone done it?

    Torque-leg-verter? Push bike chains and sprockets are designed to be easy to derail as well, for changing gear. Not the greatest characteristic for a kart!

    Slow Pocket Bike, only going 5km/h :(

    Like a crowbar with a socket drive on it :p Basically a really long socket wrench that won't break if you lean all your weight/ jump on it :p

    Breaker bar. Third time saying now. Either that or a long extension bar, get more leverage on it!

    first kart!

    Well seeing as aluminium is a better conductor than steel, erm pretty well :p

    Motorbike engine with centrifugal clutch?

    Could it be done? Either attaching the clutch to the output shaft, or via jackshaft. I have in mind a weirdy semi automatic shifter kart, could it work?

    Where can I find a go kart tranny?

    4 stroke bike engine?

    Slow Pocket Bike, only going 5km/h :(

    Impact gun is good, but this guy has stated he has sh*t all money several times, so it's bone advice guys. As I said before, breaker bar + elbow grease!

    You need to use a breaker bar or something, it'll be on REALLY tight. Trust me, I work mainly on bike engines, and there have been times in the past it's taken 5 of us and a breaker bar to get a clutch bolt off.

    go kart engine

    Hi mate, you can pick up a gx200 clone off ebay here for about 80 quid, or look for bike motors as said above.

    Soon to be new vintage ride

    You only get two mk1 eyeballs. Wear goggles, at the very least glasses!

    WD40 won't work, it isn't seized, just torqued on. A strap wrench is a tool that has a strap made of a friction-y material that you can tighten onto things like pipes or flywheels to undo them.
