Ok thanks guys. Lost my freaking job so my funding has been grounded(There is money in the bank but that's for a hang glider XD). I'm sticking with the 90 amp and am resorting to using some old gas pipe from my neighbor. :surrender:

OK thanks guys. I'm positive the the piping has 1/8 thick steel. Them things that hold your axle on are about 1/4 inch, if not bigger. And I must chop those off and re-weld 'em. Is it a safe job for my little welder?

The wire I'm using was included with the machine I think. The steel tubes on my kart are 1 1/2 inches thick. It's hollow tubing od course, I'd say they're 1/8 an inch thick. But I plan on adding some 1/4 inch steel plating for my swing arm. My local mechanic has a 125 amp welder he doesn't use...

I have a 400 pound go kart that Needs word(I'm giving it an all out chop shop re-designe). This is my welder. http://www.harborfreight.com/welding/mig-flux-welders/90-amp-flux-wire-welder-98871.html I have used it on my wheel barrel and it holds up fine, but that's alot different than a go...

amazing! I've always wanted an electric kart, but I'm stuck with gas for now. You outta have tons of low end torque. 12 MPH is plenty fast for a 4 year olds off road toy.

One more thing, My kart has a 141 D 38''/1'' differential steel axle. but all I can find is a 141 b, same length and width, will it still work?

Thanks for all your help dudes, I've decided to go with this muffler http://www.ebay.com/itm/GY6-Fly-scooter-Fly-Moped-150cc-Black-Muffler-/270730382364?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f08c9cc1c Swing arm is what I was thinking for the suspension, problem being that my brakes are mount in a bad...

I've got this go kart that is hella loud, I need to quite it down or I'll never get to ride it. My Kart is also hella bumpy, you feel every little nik that you hit. The only fun place I have to ride is all bumps. All the bumps bent my axle and that led to my wheel snapping off. I need...

All IO can say would prob be obvious to you, But I'll give a go anyways. A FREAK 100 HP ENGINE WOULD TEAR THAT THING TO PIECES! If you were to chop off the passenger side seat you could fit a motor cycle motor there I think. Then you'd still have room for the tranny. But I still think a motor...

I asked if someone could point me out the idle screw so I could try it. I did adjust the idle and the choke and now it runs like a charm. And the premium gas really does make a difference. My kart starts faster, goes faster, and idles better. Crappy gas can really **** **** up, especially that...

If you have a welder and metal cutting saw, you can do anything! If yopu're going to extend that frame, you'll need tools, metal, time and skill. If you do extend it, you may want to extend the steering, but with length, you' get height. I would just try and get a cheap 5-7.5 HP engine, you may...

Ok, I cleaned out the carb BIG TIME. There were a million little screws and bolts that hadn't been shiny in years. I cleaned both jets, and just cleaned it ALL! I gave it an oil change(which had been put off for a year by the last owner) put on a fuel filter and upgraded to premium gas. Kart...

I cleaned out my carb agian and then it ran OKish. The engine idles at such a slow speed it has trouble staying running. I also switched gas tanks to one with a primer. So I primed the fuel line, and then the engine ppuffed out massive plumes of white smoke. And now I'm back to the engine dying...

I realized that. this post was the first one, but then i saw the "engines and clutches", so I put it there

Get one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DUROMAX-16-HP-GAS-ENGINE-GO-CART-MOTOR-LOG-SPLITTER-/200654603330?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb7f24442#ht_4958wt_1398 I'm considering buying one to replace my old 10 horse.

Yes, it will start rite back up, sometimes on the first crank, sometimes on the 3rd, but always pretty fast.

Get a 10 horse wisconsin engine! I have one on my kart and it has run for years without ANY maintenance except for oil changes. Top speed of 55MPH too, nice and fast. Only problem is, now I'm having engine trouble... But it sure did pass it's time!

I did a carb cleaning, engine started rite up afterwords. It didn't die when I gave it gas, but instead now dies whenever it wants to, wether idling or reving high. Did I not clean it enough? I didn't do too great a job, do you need to be meticulous when cleaning carbs?

I gotsa 10 horse power Wisconsin engine on my go kart, came of a riding mower I think. It starts rite up (Electric start! XD) and idles just fine, but dies when I give it gas. I am going into the mechanic soon because my kart needs a weld job. But I was wondering If you guys had any ideas before...

I have a ten horse Wisconsin engine on my go kart, it starts up and idles fine, but dies when i give it gas. I'm going to the mechanic anyways because My kart needs a weld job (The steering went out on me yesterday). Any ideas on how to fix it, or should I just wait until the mechanic gets on...
