I would definately go with the larger engine, if your worried about being too fast you could always change the sproket.

My school bus driver did that when I was a kid. She had two 2x4's screwed to both pedals.:roflol: I haven't thought about that in years.

Here are some better pics of what I came up with.

That guy is a trip:sifone: :roflol:

This seems to help some. It's just mocked up now. I plan to weld some gussets for strength later. Let me know what you guys think. It was binding up at the tie rod ends due to the angle was too steep and they were rubbing at the steering rod and the spindles.

Ding...Ding...Ding... You win the prize. That's exactly wht happened. For what ever reason I had it tied into the starter switch. Just a stupid mistake when I was wiring the switch panel. What really makes me sick is that it was a brand new coil.

The kill switch was wired wrong and I fried my coil...:oops:

Coooooool!:cool:

I agree with Theo, the exhaust needs to be the original or close to it. Other than that I think it looks awesome. That thing is going to move with that small sproket. I will ask what 454 did, where are you going to put the clutch? Maybe on the shifter handle? That's what I've seen before on a...

I think I know what I need to do to correct my problem. Since I've turned this two seater into a single and moved the steering to the middle, both spindle arms need to lengthened to same length. If you notice in the pics of the original Murray the left side spindle arm is at a more straight up...

I am going to try Theo's spindle trick. As far as the frame, it was laying in a scrap pile with no spindles, no floor pan, nothing basocally but the frame and the steering rod.

I would use the tubular frame definately just for strength.

I can't wait until the sproket change in a few years. :drool5:

I'll do my best to answer all questions. The steering parts are not stock Murray parts. They were all ordered off of the net. I have converted it from 2 seater to a single seater. 1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Yes Do you think if I lengthen the spindle arms or shortened the bell crank that might help? I...

Here's the test driver taking one for the team. She's a trooper!!! http://s465.photobucket.com/albums/rr19/noley99/?action=view&current=MOV00452.flv

Funny you say that. The guy at "Go Kart World" told me the same thing. He suggested wheelie bars... :cheers2: Actually this thing has a torque averter system and a gear box (forward/reverse/neutral). The first run that was made didn't show any sign of wheelies so I think he's safe. The speed...

Got em now.

Here you go. See if that helps.

Yeah, that's the one. I was extremely careful when i painted it and I have also greased the the shaft and the tie rod ends. I'm sort of stumped.

I'll have to say that I have no idea. It's stock from the murray frame with the exception I've converted it to a single seat vs. a 2 seater.
