No worries! I wanted to make sure I didnt miss anything.

Sorry, but I don't follow. I've been a member since 2012, have posted numerous times, and the price is in the title...

I have for sale a B&S Vanguard 35hp v-twin engine. This engine has been fully re-built with 0.20 over pistons, rods, valves, and gaskets from Briggs and Stratton. The engine has about 2.5hrs on it currently. Some of you may recognize this build from my build thread here on DIY Go-karts. My dad...

Hello all, A little history before I get into our current project. When I was 5 my father built a small go kart for the two of us. It had a Tecumseh 5hp engine, and at 5 years old it was a blast. Fast forward to high school and we built a shifter kart with a Yamaha YZ250. We eventually sold it...

My father and I picked up a Vanguard 35hp yesterday for $75. Granted it needs a couple things, but for the price we couldn't pass it up. The shaft measures 1 1/8, and I've only been able to find a couple clutch with that size diameter. I'm just not sure they're the right fit as their is...

I recently posted about a 5.5hp side cover, bought one and it didn't fit. talked to the seller and he determined I need a HF Blue Lifan (Greyhound) 5.5hp side cover. The side cover will come from this motor which has a 5 bolt valve cover like mine. If you think you have what I'm looking for...

I have this kart and the hub has worn its self to the point where the ID is bigger than the axle and I need to replace it. The axle is not a 1'' but I'm almost sure its 3/4'', just need someone to clarify. I'm thinking this wheel hub will work but I'm not sure...

Picked this up for basically $25, he wanted $25 for the motor and just gave me the frame. I'm going to take my knowledge of Karts and try an incorporate it into the bike. It currently has a Tecumseh Enduro 5hp. Runs ok, needs a tune up bad. I don't know alot about these motors so if anyone knows...

I'm going to put this honda clone 3.5hp engine on my chopper bike. The shaft is a 5/8 and I have a 3/4 clutch laying around and I figured I could use it so I don't have buy another one. I've heard of people shimming the bigger clutch on there, how would I go about this? and what are your...

Just rebuilt this motor, flat top piston, cam, rod, header pipe, 18lb valve springs, new stock carb. The engine will run perfectly fine at idle but when I give it throttle and let out it dies. does it every time. been messing with the a/f but it isn't really helping. hope someone can help so I...

I have a gx160 and the crank case cover is leaking. I got a new gasket and it didn't fit the problem. I even put RTV on it. It leakes on the bottom, and more towards the front of the cover. If you were looking at it from the side, left hand corner. any ideas? there are no cracks. thanks SJ

yesterday my buddies and I were getting ready to go for a ride. I started my clone 5.5hp and it won't go anywhere, the gas works but the carb won't give it enough gas to go. then it starts smoking out the carb and where the head gasket is. turned it off and sat out this round. pulled it all...

Ok, I'm back on this project again. As you can see in the picture the axle is enclosed. I'm putting slicks on the back and I need to swap it over to an exposed live axle. I took both wheels off, took the axle out and its hollow all the way through. I'd like to cut the middle section out that...
