I mounted my Kohler Magnum on go kart a day or so ago, and had to remove the stock exhaust, as it was side mounted in the wrong spot, just behind the seat. I replaced the muffler with straight pipes, and am going to use bisquit mufflers on the twin pipes. I was working on throttle linkage...

I took delivery on my series 44 clutch late yesterday afternoon. I am working on the kart suspension so I can sit it down off the saw houses I am building it on so I can set the Kohler motor in place. I can see what might be a problem. This motor is BIG, and it may create a problem in mounting...

I took delivery on four new adjustable shocks yesterday. I am new to kart building, and this is the first time i have ever laid eyes on a adjustable shock. My question: Is longer softer, and shorter stiffer? Also, I am going to have to mount them in a verticle position. Will this affect the...

What is end result of running a #41 chain on a #40 sproket, or vice versa? Fast wear, or eventual wear?

I am putting a Series 44 TC on my Kart, and if I read directions on the chart for a Comet correctly, I need to set the center of jackshaft the exact distance from the center of the motor shaft. This can be any distance that fits my need, as long as it is on the chart and I order the...

With a T.C, as opposed to a cent. clutch, can I get as much power (not necessiarly speed) from less H.P.? From what I am reading, I suspect that sometimes smaller is better. I have old motors, big and old but strong. But, I read good things about the later and newer clones. Weight , I suspect...

I see this done on You tube, with a 3 1/2 B&S lawnmower engine. Is this practicle? Will it work with a larger, say 11 HP? What happens when a governor is removed? I have rebuilt a carb or two, but always hook up as original.

First of all, I am new to this forum, and to go karts. A couple of months ago, I decided I wanted to build a off road, and it has been a trip. Or maybe I should say a large learning curve.And the main reason I wanted to build is because I have three electric start motors, a 8 HP Briggs, a 18 HP...
