any updates

my kart has a 2 inch tube welded vertically on the frame with a threaded rod running running through it pressed against the motor mounts.

Race kart brakes the brand is Mcp. Motor will be either 175cc 15hp or 250cc 35hp

How much power do you think a single mcp caliper with slotted rotor can handle? Do you think i would need front brake system for 20-30hp or 40-50hp?

Does anyone know of any build logs or other information on building a kart with a motorcycle engine? I was considering buying a 250 ninja motor and putting it on my old coyote race frame. any help is greatly appreciated.

I have an 8th Briggs that has some kind of Pulley system on the shaft.The pulley has a housing with an oil fill plug.The motor was pulled off a cement mixer. Anyone know how to remove this, from some angles it looks like it may be one piece with the crank case.

The brake rotor is too close for me to get my new caliper in. I removed the bolt on the rotor hub and its not budging. anyone have any advice.

Thanks for the response. Trying to get as much info as possible

Is there a message board were I can find more info on race style karts

Anyone have info on enginetics hydraulic disks brakes. the kart was sitting for years before I bought it. First day riding the kart stopped on a dime, now not so much. Pedal has far more travel now so i'm assuming loss of pressure. also after pressing brakes im seeing spots on the floor which...

I used the sticky on identifying briggs motors and the number are not where they should be.

I was thinking blocking the intake with my hand might do the trick too, is that what would normally be done at the track? As far as power goes what are you thinking 3 or 5? and if you could point me in the direction of some info on properly cleaning and tuning the carb It would really help me out.

And I do not have a compression tester.

starts on a little starter spray, once it starts it seems to run pretty well. I think on this motor the choke is supposed to be on this round part of the carb. I don't see any sign of a choke elsewhere
