Here are a couple pics

Yeah tires are actually over inflated at the moment. .. i have over looked simple things before lol ---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ---------- While agree about people being weaker these days, especially in the knee area, I'm a pretty stout...

I will get some pics when i get home...the wheels are very easily turned when the front is in the air.

It's very hard even when moving. ..no way my kid could turn it. .I'll look into that kart and figure something out

So i finally got the 13hp motor mounted and everything fabricated so that it is drivable. I hop on and Bam! I can barely turn the steering wheel...great another problem. If i lift the front end off the ground, wheels turn without resistance... i never rode it before starting the build so i...

Lol, well, I'll have to govern this down for a 7 year old then until it's my turn to play...factory is 9/60'

What gear ratio don you use? ..I'm thinking about 60/12

I flipped the driver around and of course had all kinds of alignment and space issues. To get the driver and driven close, i had to move the chain and sprockets the other side of the motor. Also, found my Jackshaft is bent, so I have another on order. So hopefully, when I get it my buddy to...

I guess that backwards driver is why it bent the jackshaft mount.... just to be sure, with the comet 40, the driven is mounted with spring in and the driver needs to have the moving part outside...right?

I have stuffed 420cc Predator into a old vortex frame, so I am a little cramped for space. I threw this on there just to get the wheels turning, and as you can see, it twisted up pretty good (and quickly lol). Just looking for some ideas for a solid jackshaft mount

Not sure how to take that..is that too high? Too low? I really have no idea what it is worth. What would a fair price be...heck, if someone really needs it and can't afford one I'll give it to them. .it's just taking up space

I don't have any idea what it's worth. .. so... $50 shipped

Anybody need a Comet 30 torque converter? It is the actual Comet brand rather than Chinese knockoff. I have no need for it so shoot me an offer... It has some surface rust, but I can sand it and paint it for you if you care about that. Text me at 865 363 971six... I'll try to check back here...

link me to it please The throttle arm is not connected to anything at the moment...the only way to control the throttle is my manipulating the linkage directly to the carb

Yeah, that arm is useless... I should prob just go ahead and remove it also. I could hook it up like that, but then I would only have about an inch of pedal movement from idle to WOT. What I would like to do is have a full pedal so there has to be a reduction in movement somewhere...
