HA! yeah right. 83% humidity right now at 7:45 am

Right on! I was in Clinton once last year for a funeral. It's my kind of town. ---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ---------- Ha! I hear you. I bought .083" (14ga) 1.25" square tubing. Pray I don't pass out working on this tomorrow in the heat.

HA! Deja vu! I live in Tuttle and work in south OKC.

Using 1.25" or 1.5" square tubing is .065" thickness enough? 160cc quad engine front suspension from the quad

Yes it's a little rusty but in decent shape. It's about a 90 Suzuki 160cc quad runner. The thing about using the whole swing arm and rear axle is that it would put the seating position so far ahead of the rear axle. I'm open to suggestions though ---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ----------...

Hello All from Oklahoma. So far all we have done is to buy a suzuki quad engine and trans and draw a few sketches. I got the quad because my son wants a go kart with gears he can shift. The quad has that, no clutch lever, it's a good brand and there is a bonus (reverse). It also came with...

Thanks for the link. I have the same speed concerns as he did. We are planning ours to be a lot larger but I hope we dont make our first kart to heavy.

Thanks everyone. Joe, it's good to someone local on here. I may ask you where to get stuff around here. I'm in Grady county but I work in OKC. I've been trying to get the boy interested in a GoKart for a while. Now he is, so I'm pretty excited.

IT has a lot of disconnected vacuum type hoses that I'm not sure where they go. I'm trying to get my hands on a repair manual now. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4-ERymiOW9faHE4eFdqS1RUcEU/view?usp=sharing Also I dont know what the linkage is for here in the bottom right. Maybe to engage...

It is indeed a 158cc (160). It took me two hours to get it but I got it for $160 ($1 per cc) Got there and the damage was worse than I thought and they said it wont start. I said I thought it was running from the ad and they tried to start it. Dad was around but it was just two teen boys. The...

I think it is a 160cc that he advertised as a 150cc. I bet he read 158cc on the case and thought it was 150. He did say it has reverse.

Good to know. I was thinking it was a good deal for engine, battery, electricals, lighting, starter, transmission and rear axle. But I wouldn't have a clue about ATVs. I dont know if I can use the rear axle. Do they normally have differentials?

The actual one. It's like this one

It's about a 1995 suzuki 150cc. I dont know much about 4-wheelers. The closest I've had was a Honda CBR 600. He said it has gears and electric start. My son had already said he thought headlights would be cool and this would make that easy.

I've been trying to get my son interested in a kart for years. Just a few weeks ago he mentioned that he thought it would be fun. So we are trying to make a plan. I'm a decent welder and I found a 150cc 4-wheeler that is wrecked in front for a good price.
