I never said being the rocket man is bad. Those are some sick rocket carts! :auto:

He doesn’t seem too active tbh.

Should the external washer be rubber or metal? Should it be a lock washer?

Yeah I mean if anyone would be a go-kart fanatic which I don’t know if Robert is then crazy rocket man seems like the guy.

I think crazy rocket man is secretly hiding in this forum under a name like “RobertD” or something similar. It seems like the right kind of place. Dude’s name is literally Robert Maddox on YouTube. I think “RobertD” changed the last initial to shake us. YouTube Profile

Hello all, I got the parts in but have questions. The instructions say to “fasten with proper bolt (drive)/nut (driven) and gasket.” I am not sure what it means. I took this bolt of the crank with my centrifugal: (Sorry image uploaded weird.) This is like ~1 1/4 long. The instructions say 2 -...

Mine is kinda slow, I definitely wouldn’t let them work on it though .

I wonder if I could diy that? I suppose it would need to be strong and balanced. Maybe someone makes something similar that could be mounted. Maybe something off a small car. Edit: I was just looking and don't see them for sale. I wouldn't trust myself to not create a grenade so I probably...

Thanks, I will probably make a very simple sheet metal cover in my school that only prevents like large objects. (arms) Maybe just a no-touchy sign for fingers. I will probably make something like a cage or a top cover. Sheet metal will trap heat but not if I am careful with the design. My dad...

If I don’t use the backplate then I can’t mount the cover, do I need it? For me it is less about safety and more about dust/debris/water. How sensitive is the CVT?

Alright you all have been very helpful, however I have 3 more questions before buying the parts. 1. Do I need to cover the CVT because the driven pulley has exposed mechanisms and people talk about washing the belt? 2. What is the performance difference between a 6” and 7” driven? Does the 7”...

Do the plates work with jackshaft though?

So even if my engine has the holes, how do I find the right backing plate? It seems like a good thing to have to protect the exposed driven components. It looks almost like the plate is for minibikes? I have a jackshaft. Do I mount the driven pulley straight to it? The listings have very little...

Yeah I thought the lack of context was trying to show how easy it was and that I should have checked google first. Not throwing shade at WTR. I over-analyze things sometimes.

Living life on the edge!

Quite frankly I found a cheap eBay set and was going to buy a new belt, how do I know the plate set will fit my engine/kart? Edit: The set I was looking at had no plate and I would measure the pulleys once they are on and buy a belt. Edit 2: I have a jackshaft so I don’t need the sprocket...

I’m biking home today and see this: the humble construction 25 yds over from where I was stopped…: To be fair this is a little later but the construction was starting when he stopped me.

No but he sure as heck matted it more than where I “damaged” it.

I feel really stupid. It took me way too long to notice the sarcasm. That is the way the world is going though. I still busted out laughing and got the joke wrong. :banana:

Man the other day I was riding my Go-Kart at a park. My parents said it would probably be fine. I wasn't tearing up grass but a cop rolls up and drives straight over in his multi-ton Chevy Silverado. Made my mom leave work to drive it home instead of letting me bike lock it to a tree. Now I...
