Hey guys! I am a big fan go-karts and I own a few and do work on them often. I have a science fair that I annually attend at my high school. My goal is to have a go-kart that is capable of running on gasoline or natural gas. But in the forum I will mostly cover building the go-kart. Unlike my...

Honda clones are everywhere. But there are really only two options for transmissions when buying them. 1. A centrifugal clutch or 2. A torque converter. A centrifugal clutch is only one speed and in my experience unreliable for high speed karts. A torque converter is great but it is around...
