    Gearing options, recommendations - Barstool Kart

    Great, thanks guys. I have no interest in going 60MPH on this, in fact, I don't even want to go 35MPH. Based on this, I'm gathering a TAV and a 40T rear sprocket is going to be the best outcome. I will proceed accordingly.

    Gearing options, recommendations - Barstool Kart

    Thanks Sid - I was affraid this might be the case. So, a couple thoughts/questions: 1) So, a 9T CC would bring me to 6:1 on the current setup to be comfortable (although still have the clearence issue), but based on a quick search, I don't believe they exist (at least for a economically priced...

    Gearing options, recommendations - Barstool Kart

    Hello all, Working on a new barstool kart project and wanted to poll the group on recommendations around gearing. My current plan is to run a 10T CC to a 54T sprocket using a #41 chain as I thought this would be a good middle of the road gearing setup (5.4:1 w/ 11' tires). As you can see in...

    Rims stuck on axle

    Wedge a 2x4 into the back side of the rim and smack with a mini sledge. Be sure to continue to turn the wheel as you hit it. I had the same problem, with the same kart and evenutally broke it loose doing this.

    Advice on mini bike selection

    Appreciate the feedback, seems like some decent options. How well do these fat tire rigs handle and steer? Anyone else have additional opinions?

    Advice on mini bike selection

    Hello all, I’m looking for another project and I want to build or retrofit a mini bike. Usage would be to ride around the neighborhood (I’m around 215 lbs) to partake in foolish redneckery with my neighborhood friends as well as maybe some light trail riding. Looking for something with plenty...

    Difficult to start all of the sudden

    Well, I cleaned the carb and airfilter and put a .018 low speed jet in it and it still takes 6+ pulls and manually engaging the throttle to start this thing. Runs great once I get it started. Any other thoughts? I appreciate the help.
