Thanks! Color is just a quart can from the local hardware store. Rustolium gloss royal blue I believe was the color. Two coats and a couple coats of spray can clear got this thing painted for around $35. Here is a couple more pictures of what I was able to get done today. Still need to paint...

Here is an updated photo of some work I did over the last weekend. Have some minor things left but should be able to get it started and running within the next week. I got the motor mounted with the jackshaft today but forgot to take a picture of it all. Will do that tomorrow.

Looked today and I do in fact have a stepped crank. Shouldn’t have an issue with spacing it out since I have to add a jack shaft in. I can align the jackshaft to make it all work. Thanks for the pics! You guys are all a great help for a guy who is rebuilding his first kart!

Thanks! The triangular bar up top is something I haven’t been able to find yet. Thank you for guiding me to this one, probably as close as I’ll get. I have removed the governed when I had the side cover off. I’m in the “put it back together and hope it works” stage at the moment. Stripped and...

I haven’t looked closely enough at the engine now that I think about it to knownif it has a step on the crank shaft or not. It’s a Honda gx390. I’ll take a look tomorrow. Otherwise I found some shaft collars on amazon that would be what I needed. Thanks for the info!!

Thank you much for the quick and detailed response! I had seen most info for the red spring to be mounted inward but the picture from the product made me second guess. Also. Thanks for the info on the washers as spacers!!

Just received this 40 series set up from amazon and I have been trying to research mounting and installation since there are no instructions. I know the mounting distance is 9 3/4” and I already have jackshaft for mounting the driveN but that’s it. The picture shows the spring facing out like...

Decided to go Big and rebuild a gx390 I had laying around. Needed rings and while I hadn’t it opened up I purchased an upgraded cam (nothing crazy just a little better than stock). Putting a k&n filter on it. I purchased a 40 series torque converter kit and also parts to add a jack shaft. Any...

My other option I have available is what I am guessing is probably like a 13 horse or so horizontal shaft engine sitting around as well. Only reason I was going to use the gx140 was every clutch I find is only good through 6.5 hp. Any suggestions or ways I could go about using that engine instead?

So jack shaft down and try for 10 or 13:1 range? This won't be a permanent set up, just something to go explore the trails for this summer. I am already looking around for other engine options when I am ready to actually spend some money on this kart.

Thanks for the info guys! My plan for now is to just do some trail driving in the timber so I’m hoping with gearing I can get enough torque for what I want and I’d be happy for now with 20 mph if I ever was able to get it on a flat straight ground. Future plans include sourcing engine and other...

Here is a couple shots of the rear. I was kind of thinking it was probably a china brand kart but just curious since it needs brakes and probably some other chassis parts. Any info or leads on where I could find parts would be great as well. Someone added a new motor plate at some point and I...

Also, I should mention that I am new to this forum and new to go karts in general. This is my first kart and can’t wait to get up and running to have some fun with my family. Thanks in advanced for any and all answers I can get now and later as I am rebuilding this kart!

Can anyone help me identify the model or brand of gokart I just purchased? Going to start fixing up and would like to know what I got! I think I got a pretty decent deal on this thing so hopefully it is worth fixing!
