that is a sweet deal, the evinrude came out of a 76 evinrude skimmer. actually im selling the whole sled. comes with everything but is missing the track and rail suspension. i bought a raptor 125 quad for parts and was thinking of using the engine and suspension out of it for my buggy. but i...

i found a comet clutch, a friend brought one over and i think it will do. on the good side if im really unhappy, i can go back to the 2 stroke cuz not much will change. just the engines will be swapped. the older rotax's are getting hard to find, so no sorry none of my rotax engines are for...

well the 4stroke is for sure going in, they are just plain reliable. i dont have to tune for the weather conditions, and they are a throw away engine. prices for them are very low these days. you guys are right about the tc i think it will stay. now i just need to find a primary clutch that fits...

well im not 100% sure if i wanna get rid of the tc, i guess im tired of the clutches getting dirty and sticking all the time. want to make the drive system simple and less maintenance. reason for the engine swap is because the rotax is loud and has to stay in high rpms to make torque. i like to...

i decided to tear down my buggy and redo the drive train. i am gonna swap my 300cc rotax for a 13-15 hp 4stroke utility engine. i am also getting rid of the torque converter set up and going for a chain drive centrifugal clutch with jack shaft. but i am not sure how to calculate my gear ratios...

looks like a mario kart. that is neat, very neat i do say sometimes.

if its not turning then it usually means dirty or toast. try cleaning it if you can get the starter apart, if that doesnt work then try some of these sites for parts: denniskirk.com, antiquesnowmobile.com im from canada so i dont know all of the u.s parts places. but if you check out the vintage...

i have a rotax 300cc engine in my buggy right now and that engine is solid. they are easy and cheap to repair and last a long time.

hey your engine is probably out of a tnt 440, i restore old ski doo sleds and i have a few of these engines around. if it has a tillotson carb then its probably out of a 71-75 tnt, everest or olympique. if it has a mikuni carb then it could be out of a 76-78 tnt, everest or olympique. very...

i cheated and used the dimensions of a honda odyssey, except for the j-arms they would of taken too long to make so i just used an old ski doo's front suspension.

soon i will get a video once it stops pouring here, been raining for a week now. right after it was done we went quading for 3 hours and about 60 miles. it ran perfect. but your right there is some stuff i want to change. like adding rear suspension and more roll bars for protection. i also have...

hey guys im new to DIY, also here is my off road Kart that i built in 8 hours. it kinda looks like a hack job but i dont care cuz its fast and fun. about the kart, it has a 300cc rotax 2stroke 18hp engine, turf tires all around. im using a jerry can for a fuel tank which works great if i run out...
