I think it worked but I want to know how effective mechanical disk brakes are. I don’t want to be looking for unrealistic stopping distance.

The chain I have stretched and now when I turn, the sprocket slides and the chain falls off. The key also wiggles loose. Also, the keys I have for my brake rotor is slipping and almost fell out. I have the rotor loose so it’ll float. I want to secure this key. So how do I tension my chain and...

Nothing is working. The rotor has always been floating. I had the caliper spaced originally and put an aluminum spacer to touch it. I later removed the spacer and tried it again. I fixed the rotor and then the caliper would tilt when the brakes were applied. I’m going to try to drill another...

I don’t have a bracket for mounting a floating caliper (i did some research) can I float it using the bolts I have?

What do you mean by floated, won’t it fall of then? Also how much should I sand it. I see some copper start to show. And should I sand the disc as well.

Here it is

So I installed some disc brakes I got from OMB Warehouse and they don’t work at all. I installed them and had the brake fully depressed but the kart kept on moving forward. Please help me out.

Hi, I want to know if there is anyway I can convert from split rim to tubeless tires. Thanks

So I finally got around to mounting my axle to the frame and what happens is that when the bearing holders are loose, the axle spins freely. When the bearing holders are tightened down, the axle is hard to spin. My bearing holders are on the outside of the flange rather than the insideZ don’t...

what do you mean by clearance. Amount of slack in measurments or how much longer I can get a rod. I have a gx160 btw

How would I know how much of a longer rod I can fit in the sleeve before it becomes too much. Random question: what is meant by taping the blower housing

How does connecting rod length affect an engine's power and rpm. Is longer better or is shorter better?

I get it, but how do I figure out the type of piston without taking my engine apart? Cause if I take it apart I'm going to need to need a new head gasket and I don't want to go through that until I'm fully committed.

I have a GX160 -haven't taken it apart yet- and I want to know how I can tell if I have a flat top piston or a dished piston. I also want to know if I can figure out if I have a UT1 piston or UT2 piston.

So continuing my research I know I need to get better valve springs in order to prevent valve flutter. I also want to get a better cam. I want to know if I should go with 22lb valve springs or 18lb valve springs. I also want to get a better cam. I see that in the description their is something...

So recently I purchased a used GX160 engine. I go to start it and it starts fine. The issue is that it cuts of after a while. I found that slowing increasing the airflow lever and slowly increasing the throttle fixes this issue. I want to know if their is a good setting where I should keep the...

Okay, so recently I was able to snag a Genuine GX160 engine for a pretty good deal. Now I want to do some mods but I do have a budget. What can I do to maximize my hp and revs using about $100. Any help would be appreciated.

So I am looking for engines for my go kart build and found a person who is selling 3 gx200’s. However, in the ad it says that the engines haven’t been run for a couple of years. I am wondering what kind of work I would need to do if I were to buy one of these engines. Any help is appreciated.

I know that after a certain amount of RPM's you need to get a billet flywheel. I also know that you also need a connecting rod. I usually see people commenting to get a billet flywheel if one is to heavily modify an engine. I don't usually see recommendations for connecting rods. So I am...
