I dont know if I would say small? For size reference, those are garden tractor tires on it. It easily fits me and im 5'6". Kinda BIG for my boys. I know that engine would be overkill for my bar stool kart!! My 8HP Im saving for a wood splitter project since it is already set up for one. Im not...

thats a 2 x 2 1/2" frame

Yes, taking the pully off and putting on a cog and getting a good gear ratio set in the cogs so the motor will get the kart going faster!. For that price, I think I would get a old snow blower or tiller with a 1:1 gear box.

Holey crap! NOT like that! For that price, I would rebuild the 13HP motor I have and change the gears on it!

Any pics/info on these? Where to buy. What ones will be durrable enough for a larger motor like this?Thanks

I have a good running Briggs 20HP Twin from a rider. Wondering, has anyone used one of these? How would I conect it to the axle if I wanted to go with a live axle wich of course would be a horizontal shaft. LOL. Is there a way to make it a horizontal engine? any threads or reference on useing...

kendlerk, that is very sad to hear. Yes I know there are far worse cases then this. I knew a kid in school. Got a new crotch rocket for his 16th birthday. Went for a joy ride. Went too fast for the curve. They had to cut the gaurdrail to take into the hospitol with him. There they removed the...

We all take life and how we live for granted. We go here and go there. We are always running late so racing to get there in time. always too much to do and never enough time to get it done! Never enough hours in the day to finish what we set out to do and to finish those things that came up and...

Cool looking kart. Needs work. Ok, what kind? Is it something you can do? Go look at it.

erhaps your dies and my dies are different? Mine is flared on the starting side larger then the rod would be and tapers down to the size of the rod. About that point is where the thread cutters start and taper in further. So at least with mine, I doubt I would have any issues. But then again, my...

First, that axle appears to be about 2 1/4" big on my screen. I am sure in real life, it is smaller then that. LOL. One thing to remember with dies, they are flared open on the starting edge, a little larger then the actual rod(axle) size. Then they taper down to the sized needed to clean the...

He has not sold!! Look at his feedback left for purchases and then look at feedback left for selling. All feedback is from him buying, not selling! Also, from UK> So obviously, hes not shipping the motor. Next question, this list of whole sale sellers, are they from another country as well like...

I read of this method some wheres else. I had a tractor tire I had issue with. I tried this. LOL. First three times, it did not seat and nooo excitement. Fourth time, there was lots of excitment and it still did not seat! My hair was singed and I knocked on my but. My daughter was knocked too...

Did the post with the die go un noticed? Nothing better around the house then a tap and die set! Really. Come Sunday evening and you have to take a crusty rusty bolt out and reuse, or beat the piss out of a threaded rod, what have you. The best savior is a tap and die set! Heck, break a bolt...
