I will post up a bunch of pics of my build for your enjoyment. I used a cruiser frame, raked out the headset to 45*, built a triple tree fork, used an 80cc 2 stroke engine, tuned pipe, jackshaft, 7 speed rear wheel, etc etc. Max speed= 40mph or so on the flats. Its really cool to be able to...

So I am coming across some of these tire/wheel sets. I will be getting 5 of them. One is plugged, but fine, two are fine. The other two are going on my kart. I figure I will sell two of these tire/wheels and keep 3. Anyone interested? You would have to pay shipping on them, but I will...

Does anyone know how to remove the governor from a briggs and stratton 18hp opposed twin? >:-}

What are the belt sizes for a 40 series torque converter? How do I figure out what size I need? Is it just center to center measurement for the driver and driven ?

OK...so I have been pretty green to all of this....but I have been doing some thinking. the purpose for a CVT (TAV style) transmission is for a smaller engine to be able to produce more power with gear reduction. With my engine (V-twin 18HP)....do I really NEED to run something like this? I...

Question: Can I take a comet 30 series set up with the aluminum plate and swap the driver and driven out for a 40 series setup? I have the ability to buy a 30 series setup for $70 used...but not very used. The guy upgraded to a 30hp setup and went to a clutch setup instead of the CVT. any...

Hello all. This is my first post! I am looking to find out what kind of gear ratio I need to run with my gokart. (I can hear the groans now:ack2:) a little background: The kart is going to be an 18HP v-twin pushing 22 inch rear tires. I will be running a torque converter. I am looking at this...
