    GX140 flywheel is actually same as GX160?

    Even if the flywheel was slightly larger but the same taper key position OR heck not even the same key position you can just run no key. But back to the flywheel if it was slightly larger you could always make a bracket to raise the coil up the small needed amount. I have a Briggs running a...

    Dangerously Sensitive Steering (Thunder Kart)

    Did you add you own tie-rods and bend the square piece downward? This is how most of my karts are setup and it’s the factory way to do it. The way your karts tie-rods are run is directly wrong in my opinion.

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    Update one switch running both kill wires produces zero spark in either position. Disconnect one wire one plug gets spark. So as I feared I’ll need two switches. ordered from ebay along with two chain tensioners. That’s all I need for a test ride so it will be a week or so.

    Best way to heat a cabin?

    The best way to heat a cabin in my opinion would be build the cabin near flowing water. Big water wheel with a pulley and belt system runs the gen head all day long at 3,600 like any normal generator and plug in your furnace. So basically run a small gas engine off water :ROFLMAO: Will loose...

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    And now the bad news! When the chain tensioner flexes on the slack side the chain is gonna hit the frame anyway i’m guessing? What’s everyone’s think? Bobby gets a 20 minute head start? 30 minute head start? Oohhhhhh when we catch him it‘s gonna be glorious.

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    In a world where I NEED things explained to me like I’m a 5 year old re-reading this sentence finally made it “click” on why a tensioner on the pulling side won’t work. Now that I think of it if I had solid mounted the tensioner/idler on the pulling side it would have broke instantly or worse...

    I have a 5/8 jackshaft and 12t sprocket in the junk pile. Might make an idler sprocket instead of an eBay chain tensioner. Not sure yet.

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    they make long lever switches and I use them in a slap down configuration on everything. Down being the “off” or “shut off” and up being on. Pops taught me that. No need to fumble or mess around trying to reach down and pull both switches upward. Two close together switches and if at any point...

    Rockwell 440cc and a kenbar streaker?

    Umm I tried one switch only on the blue rockwell 440cc buggy and it messed with the starting and coils to fire the plugs. I tried one switch on the duel engine Briggs gokart and it messed with the coils and gave starting issues. go to YouTube and type (junkyard digs twin engine gokart) and...

    Newbie

    The last time I checked was months ago. I could buy 6 belts for the price of this one single belt. There is a reason 3 yak grease belts cost $19.99 and one genuine comet cost over $35

    I’ll jump in here and say it before other members do! Pictures Pictures Pictures! As for going from a belt to chain drive usually that is the exact opposite of what people want to do. And lastly a genuine comet belt!!! Expensive but you will blow through another half dozen belts if your not...
