    Project Orange Krate: formally manco american express duraforce

    16hp engine w/ tranny ideas

    look for a suzuki samuri/sidekick rear. any thing else you mentioned will be tough to find(at least around here). i think they are high pinion too. you'll get better drivline angle/ground clearance and they are offset a bit.

    rode the kart with it sunday. it rips pretty good. i had problems with my home made tach so haven't wound it out to much yet. didn't want to blow it up quite yet. check out my kart thread for any more updates.

    Digital tach cheap!

    i redid the tach sensor setup last night. i took the lock collar off the pto shaft that was keeping my clutch where it needed to be. then i used a grinder and carefully cut basically keyways opposite each other on the outside of it. i was looking for some thing to sit it on while the jb weld set...

    16hp engine w/ tranny ideas

    i would try to put a support bearing inside (close to the trans) and on the crank pilot end, transmissions aren't designer to take any side loading. go with the chain setup and use shifter or some other type of heavy duty push pull cables with the factory shifter.

    1980 80cc 2 stroke engine worth rebuilding?

    i've got the same motor on a mx 80. got no spark so its never run. i thought the same thing, puttin it on a kart. internal parts are not cheap. weisco piston and rings is a hundred bucks.clutch parts are available. if you can find parts cheap or yours are usable it would work. i would look into...

    Manual transmission go kart?

    you have to have a proper gear ratio or you can over rev it even in high gear. don't see why it would have ruined the cdi though.

    ok, got some pics of the frame mods. the last one is of it when i picked it up.you can see the original steering shaft goes under the hoop and over the front frame rail. front bumper and pedal mounts are broken off, hard to tell but the left front is pushed back a good bit too. second one is...
