I felt like I should say this after I realized that myself today. I was cruising for the first time in a while in my yard kart. I was on some trails around a farm field. I spun out on a turn. I went into the bush. My tire caught something, who knows what. The kart ended on my back. I have no...

My go-kart was barely creeping along after a certain point. At some rpm it would just stop increasing power. A few possible ideas: 1. change jets with the season to account for running with air too thin. 2. something up with the CVT and temps? 3. not deciding to ride my kart in 100 degree...

So my sister’s friend who is a mechanic for the big karts otherwise known as cars told me two things: 1. My oil shouldn’t really be black. When I changed it after the old owner I probably just washed crap down into the clean oil. I can change my oil, especially with the hose the previous owner...

I was looking at getting a little more speed out of my engine to fully use my 30 series. Someone mentioned you can adjust a governor instead of fully removing it. Someone also said that bypassing while leaving governor parts installed makes a grenade. If it is governed to like 4500-5000 range...

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, Sorry it has been so long. Over the winter I got a ton of snow so that put all of my kart stuff on pause. I know I should have checked and tried to answer questions, but I didn't and I am sorry. I was looking to get a CVT. I want to get a decent belt but for the pulleys I need them as...

I was recently debating changing the gearing on my kart. Someone mentioned using a CVT and it seemed like a good idea. I have ~7hp, and I can only do like 14 on a 200lb kart. I really only want to get up to around 25mph. Can you even really (easily ish) convert from centrifugal to torque...

I want to make a small Arduino based tach/speedometer for my kart. If I just put one light neodymium magnet on the driveshaft/output shaft would that screw up my kart? It would theoretically, but mine already shakes like crazy because I go off-road with it. Any thoughts?

I originally joined to ask one question, but after digging deeper this seems like the perfect forum for me! Thank you all for making this such a cool place!

For some context I have a Subaru EX-21 on a off-roadish frame I got on marketplace. I am in an area somewhere between urban & suburban. I enjoy drifting it so I need torque as well. I normally don't have much more space than a parking lot, so I can't really go ripping around. My dad also doesn't...
