    Thoughts about using an 80cc kx motor on a kart

    I can fab up a mount. I have the tools, know how and a few local friends brains I can pick if I get stumped with something along the way. I know that the kx80 that I have in mind has been gone through completely. I'd be able to pull out everything that I need and not have any concerns about...

    Thoughts about using an 80cc kx motor on a kart

    I'm already looking for the next way I can upgrade my kart! LOL I'm thinking I'd like to use a dirtbike engine. I currently have a 5.5 horse honda on my kart (which is fun BUT I want more.....imagine that). Is an 80cc 2 stroke going to offer that much of a noticeable difference in performance? I...

Check & double check our alignment then weld, weld, weld... We test drove it this last weekend. Its pretty quick. We have a 12T Hilliard clutch run to...

    The other project...

    From what I can tell it is a Manco. It looks very similar to the other ones that I have seen. Whoever had it before I did chopped the roll bar off and left the bars that run up the side of the cart (the black tubing with padding in the pictures). Since this is for my son I think that I will...

    Check out my cart project...

    I added a piece of tubing to the frame (down the long side of my motor plate). So now the plate sits on the frame on all 4 sides. Then I welded the plate itself to the frame on all 4 sides. We took it out and gave 'er h*ll...lol... So far so good! I'm starting to get a knack for that little...

    Check out my cart project...

    My welds broke on my motor plate so I have a plan of action to reinforce the mounting plate. I think that the slight twisting of the motor was probably what was causing my chain to be thrown off. I'll take more pics of the updated design...

    110v arc welding

    Hi guys, I have a 110volt 90amp arc welder that I have been practicing with. Before I bought this I hadn't welded since high school. I'm just trying to get the hang of it again. I have been beveling my edges and that seems to be working pretty well. I'm looking for any helpful hints. I welded my...

    I do really like this frame though (and the other one too really) so if I found another cool frame then I would probably just snag that up. These two project have taken me quite awhile since I have to sqeeze the time inbetween work and the rest of the kids. I dont know how I'd have time to fab a...
