holy crap that things a beast ide love to have the opportunity to drive that baby. what are you using for your engine and is this supposed to be semi street legal?

oh sorry i guess i didn't see that. how many cc is 21ci?

sorry for the long delay i went sailing for three days. a couple questions, 1. is #25 chain the same size as bike chain? 2. i found a snow blower engine 11 horsepower but it only displaces 21.82cc what is up with this how dose an 11 hp engine only displace 21cc? will there be torque? how fast...

so just take the wheel/chain off and chop it with a jig saw grind it down then take like a 50t 2 piece and weld that on? hmm that's an idea if i do do this i think it will be in a couple weeks. thanks guys.

well after working on my go kart for the past week i thought i would switch it up a little by starting a motorcycle project. i found my old bike i made about 4 years ago here's a pic. i know some work has to be done to fit the engine in im going to mod the body so the engine fits below the seat...

alright thanks guys ya sorry i didn't see your post i was typing mine up when you posted yours, my bad. i guess even though it says it has a replaceable sprocket it would be a pain in the *** to find one. thanks for the info and im gonna go and cut some of the frame off.

sweet thanks for the tips and ya in one of the pictures the engine looks a little tilted i noticed that too but im pretty sure thats just the angle, it looks straight in person. i dont know if this is the right kind of sprocket or even if this would fit on my clutch but its the closest thing i...

wait so your saying to change the sprocket on the axle? i don't think that's possible the sprocket is welded onto the axle pain in the a**. so it is possible to buy a bigger sprocket for the clutch there's a relief. if someone knows somewhere to get one could they possibly link me? ive been...

hmm yeah a burnt clutch wouldn't be good but right now i have 10 teeth on my clutch and 60 on my axle i was hoping for 12 or even higher maybe 14, would that burnout my clutch? and if it wouldn't where could i buy them? as for the frame here are the pictures, its obviously a work in progress...

alrighty, im back and my project is off the ground! i have a 5 hp Tecumseh on a realllly heavy go kart frame from an amusement park, it dose maybe high 20s and it weights im guessing 200 pounds or more, with the engine and mount on it upwards of 240 - 250 (without rider) i have been trying to...

i am using 420 chain and i don't have a chain tool to fit it or a chain press so resizing the chain is out of the question. i also cant move the motor backward. would taking the mounting bolts out and sliding in a few washers do the job? and would that be safe? thanks C tightening

I'm gonna do this to my kart anyways but im thinking along the lines of oscaryu1, i think you should set up a car battery they weigh about 25-35 pounds (or more, not sure exactly) and use it to run cool looking fog lights or a radio so it wouldn't just be dead weight cause it has a purpose. and...
