Eh, give it another 24-48 hours. DIYGK is hardly an instant gratification site, people have jobs and other stuff going on. Reaction times are usually a little slow but if you give the forum an absolute MYSTERY like this here thread, that’s fuel for the fire. Provide as little information as...

These are definitely some interesting statements. Can’t tell if you’re joking or serious.

Stupendous bikes! Love seeing the 5 horse Briggs in place, perfect engine for the application.

They ship ‘em with brake fluid in them? 🤔

It’s okay to say Tecumseh, Denny. They made some great engines in their day. Those 2-stroke ones are catching my eye. Might as well mangle and trash every engine name there is while you’re at it, Breaks & Scrap’em and so forth. 😏 The lower part of the blower shroud is an area where moisture...

It’s Grampa Joe living his best life after 4 years vacationing as (P)resident.... 😲🙄 This one’s better:

Anyone? What’s the issue with yours? Show us yours first so one of us can eyeball the geometry and advise.

Too bad you added the fun sticker before clocking your recoil starter to 10 o’clock. I try to have it rearwards where all the other knobs are (fuel switch, choke). No biggie

Are Belleville(sp?) washers easily obtanium in the sizes needed? They are already dished. ’Appy Juneteenf! Glory to all who are working today. :cheers2:

But it’s Juneteenth, bro! 😂🏖️⛱️ Wish I had the day off.

Good, high quality photo, even I could tell it was splined. 😏 Wildboar’s post was originally inside Jamie P’s Gear Ratio thread, so he may have thought his part was related to a Torque Converter❔

Did you slide the engine all the way forward? It might clear the body better BUT sliding the engine is the (primitive) way to adjust chain tension on all karts (easier than sliding the axle) so that’s not a perfect solution. There’s a few more Bird go kart funny cars on the web and Bring A...

These were all usually 3-4hp and being a promotional kart, not a serious go kart meant to be particularly fast, rugged or able to withstand daily abuse from youngsters. Engine looks like it might be the original engine and judging by the lack of wear on the clutch and axle sprockets, the kart...

Looks about right to me. Looks like a nice restoration project, not too many of these still around with an intact body.

It will help if you mount the wheels and tires, front and rear, to achieve the proper stance. Here’s a modified one (wrong engine) but the stance is about right (larger tires in the rear) for a mini funny car dragster: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1980-bird-funny-car/ And another...

Disregard, I forgot who you were. I have trouble remembering the non-avatar people. 😯 You must mean the Mini 1933 Ford P’up…unless it is something new. But photos would help readers to see what kind of room you have for a TC, Torq-A-Verter, CVT, Torque Converter.

In what ways should it differ from the machine in the photo? What do you like and don’t like? I like Denny’s advice on the drivetrain and brakes.

Show us the track you made. I picture something low and wide for race tracks but the Exploder could fit the bill.

https://www.diygokarts.com/community/threads/clark-mfg-co.53007/ Your orignal left pedal is missing/does not match the right. I think these are the closest to the original Clark branded pedals. They might even say “Clark” on them...

Looks like it just needs some massive toe-in to fix it. Egad, those fat racing kart tires and rims should go (because I’m a purist). :ack2::sifone:
