Hi JS, No problem at all using this outline... If I may suggest an improvement, use 2 plier widths on the vertical segment so the rod will be more horizontal from the butterfly to the throttle arm. As you can see in that last picture, mine was on a bit more of an angle than I was going for...

Throttle rod mod after #gov.delete I put a reference dot in line with the hole next to the cable retainer Then I put my needle nose pliars to the right of that dot and bent the rod upward 90 degrees. Next, turn the pliers 90 degrees and bend the rod another 90 degrees towards the carburetor...

What (?) no smoothing out those stepped eyebrows around the valves for better flow ? I think KartFab has a good video on eyebrow porting for flat heads. I have Briggs engines on my powerwasher and cement mixer and now that I am getting my hands dirty on small engines, I would consider doing...

^^^ My Tahoe is a '03 Z71 with the 5.3 LM7. Its a 4 door with a lift gate on the back. Hauls 12-14 foot lumber if I lay it on the dash (just a few boards). Pulls trailers nicely too. Glad to hear the difference the 7" driven makes. Getting excited like a kid at Christmas now... Sent from my...

Thanks @all Meh... well, I am prety sure my Tahoe turns tighter ! It ended up about a foot longer than I planned, so better turns are something that I am still working on. Sid pointed out how to optimize the Ackermann a bit, and that helped with better cornering and +2mph speed on my yard...

Governor delete in progress. That little clip holding in the governer wheel is the hardest part. Finally got it and all the pieces out. Also threaded the holes for the oil sensor and governor shaft. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

Looks like a real blast. This weekend, I mads sure my yard has signs of a kart track, with turn one visible to the road. I hope to have the bbq smoker and another kart going this summer. Thanks for that inspiration ! Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

Yeah ! Looking really good. Sould be fast with the two motors... are you planning to have a cage ? Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

Got it back together last night and put on a few miles today. I made a couple of videos today, first on the CVT assembly with the dash cam, but after a couple of laps, I lost the battery for the dash cam somewhere in the woods after turn two. Here are a couple of stills from the CVT...

Congratulations !! Looks like it turns and stops really good. I was riding this afternoon toooo ! Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

Be sure to check the specs for the kit you are considering. A heavy rider may benefit from having a 7" driven clutch, and you can get kits with the 6" or 7" driven clutch. I was checking on this and noticed the kits with the 7" driven clutch are generally higher. Care to guess what I want...

Test and tune... Working on instrumentation. I added a tiny LCD tach, and a cell phone holder for hands free operation of the GPS speedometer. Also trying out a dash camera that my Sister gave me last year... my Son is a techie and he suggested I use a rechargable USB battery and it works...

Another option could be the bottom end of a motor that has reverse built in. I picked up a Yamaha Warrior 350 a few months ago that had a missing jug, but the bottom end is supposed to be good. it has a reverse gear built in. I didnt know what I would do with it until I stumbled on a couple of...

Made the adjustments to the steering knuckles tonight. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

Thanks @itsid It's not right as it could be... I may have made it a little works lengthening the steering arm. Here is a better photo to show the axle and arm. Looks to be about 90*, so I will see about adding some material to make the arm longer and move that knuckle head over. Sent from...

Added the kill switch and a 9" LED off-road light. I noticed the LED light says 12 or 24v, so I decided to try some tool battery packs. I added some alligator clips and tried a 18v ni-cd pack, but decided to go with my 18v Ryobi Li-ion pack since I have a few of these. I used a tie wrap...

Ackermann built in ? I want to improve the steering radius, so I am checking to see if the steering knuckles can be optimized for the new wheelbase. the front end was on a 110cc quad, and now it's on kind of a stretched kart . So I tied a string in the middle of the rear carrier and...

I thought the kart quit last weekend because it was out of gas. After taking a closer look, I noticed the choke lever was gone and the carburetor was loose. I found one of the nuts inside the top of the carburetor. Glad it was too big to drop all the way through ! Sent from my SM-J700T...

Thanks @landuse. I have a couple of items to work on before I get all my tic marks for the build off. Next day out will be after brake bleeding, adding a kill switch. Optionally, I hope to re-drill my tiny 110cc wheels and try the shorter tires for better starts, and add the Ackerman angle...

Here are the stills after we ran it out of gas.... I was saying we just need a little gas because I want to make sure it runs....we will be doing good if it runs, then I said even better if it runs out of gas. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk
