Please elaborate on how you did that.

Show ‘em. The basic horizontal shaft Briggs 130000 series is still out there on many a snow blower, garden tiller, pump and what-not. These engines will essentially never wear out in the occasional-use platforms they inhabit. A garden tiller that only gets used for an hour of tilling each season...

You mean which of the two or which engine in general? That trophy belongs to anything modern but I’d vote for The Predator 212cc.

The age of this thread is 13 years and 9 months. Information is sometimes hard to come by, even back in 2012. For a factory style go kart/minibike throttle for that Briggs & Stratton engine, and using the under-tank governed throttle assembly, use the 692316 Briggs and Stratton Throttle...

I suspect it may be due to the new engine because it’s so different than stock. Photos always help as they allow people miles away to be there in your garage. You can upload them directly to the site as attachments or inline with the pictogram icon. You may have to custom-fabricate your own...

I’m just upset that the thread title is so misleading. TC no go boom. 😢 😁 Zoom out and show us the whole drifter kart, brother.

Zoomer/Gen Z and Gen Alpha slang. Sorry, no definitions. Alternate spellings?

I’m not being intentionally adversarial, I’m just taking both sides and looking at the pros and cons. I actually like this kick starter but I opened the thread for information as well as thumbs up or thumbs down. You admire the industrial engine because it is cheap but you want to load it down...

:useless: Time for some eyes-on. Show us 📷

I’m here for that. Would love it if you could scan the operator manual and upload it to the site, images or a full pdf, those things are gold. More photos please, of that finely preserved machine. Did this one have the full cage or cage over engine?

What a beast! You’re going to need some hydraulic brakes for that thing and at least 2. I initially thought you were restoring the kart to original “fun kart specs” but I think you might need those ball bearing supported spindles they use on race karts and to tighten up all the looser tolerances...

Start another thread all about the new China buggy in Project Log or just in Go Kart Discussion. Post lots of photos, you can do 10 photos per post, so get cracking. The old pros here can really help you along by seeing what you got, the condition it’s in and so forth. Such a thread helps all...

Please add the price(s) and location (website) for your chain. Most here would probably be interested in bulk chain, like 10 to 20ft lengths or so, to use as needed.

Post pics. Post pics of anything you think will help; bare crankshaft, clutch, clutch installed, etc. Help us help you. You can upload pics straight to the site.

Well the rope recoil IS mechanical but I guess you mean gear driven. It truly is a gimmick to make an industrial stationary engine feel more like a motorcycle engine. And that‘s the key, it’s an industrial engine adapted for recreational use. But there’s plenty of “small engines” that have a...

Me like um super tall exhaust pipe. Now you need an intake snorkel that’s just as long, Honda Odyssey style! Could our industrial engines still run underwater that way? 🤔

:thumbsup: :welcome2:

Wimps. Using hostile wildlife as an excuse. It has been 2 years. Get ‘er done! :mad2::lolgoku: Afraid of snakes? Make sure you’re not tiptoeing around (Stomp your feet). Most snakes will flee if you give ‘em half a chance. Keep us posted. :cheers2:

Nice and clean. What does it look like at the pedal, an eyelet on the end of the cable?

Looks fabulous. Keep going, keep going. 🛠️⛏️ I think JimD (Max-Torque) showed a completely honeycombed (drilled out) clutch bell on one of his videos. Not for cooling but to reduce the rotating mass and allow quicker engagement, I think. Anyway, that’s what your brake drum reminded me of.
