    2020 - The "foxy lady" a manco redfox 2

    Got a bit done the last few days, cage is fully installed and painted, spindles, springs, steering, brake and throttle installed, and steering wheel is back on. I have a #35 12t clutch already, and a 72t sprocket on it's way, once it arrives I'll probably paint it pink and I'll be making a new...

    Increasing torque on a 2.5HP Briggs and Stratton

    Forgot about the smaller shaft on the tiny briggs engines. You may need to figure out a larger tooth count for the axle sprocket, the reason it doesn't accelerate well is because of the high gearing, which is also hard on the clutch. I'd also consider a second kart built more for an adult, leave...

    Displacement VS RPM - What's Better?

    Since automotive came up, it's similar to asking if I'd prefer a 69 GTO with a 455 super duty vs a honda civic that gets better gas mileage but is built to smoke a GTO, in that case, I'd go with the big block and be sitting in style instead of following the heard. Kart engines, well I don't...

    Increasing torque on a 2.5HP Briggs and Stratton

    I don't know how plentiful used larts are in your area, but maybe consider a second kart for you with more power to it? If you could post pictures and the tire size it would help out big time, also I'd count the teeth on the clutch again just to be sure, any clutch I've had for #35 chain...

    Welder for go kart frames

    HF has fine dolly wheels as long as you are installing them on a dolly. I'll also vouch that HF has the absolute best warranty coverage when it comes to their lifetime stuff. I'll also vouch the predator 212 is pretty much the best bang for your buck, and reliable. I can also add my HF tool...

    2020 - The "foxy lady" a manco redfox 2

    Couple small dings in the tank, but I'll bet my kids will be so excited about it being finished they wont even notice. Need some rubber washers before I truly mount the tank, but doesn't look bad mocked up.

    Um, isn't that a gy6 with a cvt? I'm not even sure reverse box on those take any fluid, buy I'm not very familiar with them either. If you could post pictures someone here can set you up.

    need to know what kind of torque converter to buy and the best place to buy

    I'd try the 60t out before going to a 68t, partially because the diameter of a 68t is considerably larger than the 60t. If you are going with a t/c, order those pullies you asked about and run the #40 chain and sprockets that are already there. All your #35 stuff comes off. If the 60t doesn't...

    I just sanded and painted. I'll probably keep a funnel with it to try and preserve the paint. Hopefully it will work out, otherwise I'll have to buy a stock of pink paint.

    need to know what kind of torque converter to buy and the best place to buy

    Those would be correct, I forgot to ask if the shaft on your jackshaft is keyed? Yes the sprocket that is attached directly to the axle is the one I'm curious about, should be the largest and have the most teeth. With the approximate tire size I figure a 6:1 will do decent, if you are a heavier...

    need to know what kind of torque converter to buy and the best place to buy

    When you can get a count of teeth on the axle sprocket. You confirmed my thoughts on the two chain sizes used. To try to explain as simple as possible, everything related to the #35 chain will be extra parts to sit on the shelf forever once you get the torque converter. Since you have a...

    Thanks! Sadly so do I, takes a lot for a man to admit it. The cage is going to match the pink, it should turn heads.
