    Newest "father-son" project

    Sry. To get up to date. I ended up mounting the "spiderbox" (I believe its called) from the org. pic's to the front end of a small 2 seater kart w/ no susp. I saved from the neighbors trash for free.Moved the steering to the center & strenghtened it up a bit where they mated with a couple...

    Just an update. Kart has been up & running great for a while now. Everyone is enjoying it. I think ill build a diff. front end for it next. The kart parts I used d doesn't seem to like the abuse or high speeds very much. And a rollcage wouldn't hurt also

    Thoughts about using an 80cc kx motor on a kart

    I agree w/that, New mx eng.s make more power than old ones. They are still the "little" dirtbike in the lineup. My friends r eng. Is air cooled & nothing "fancy". Their kart is heavier than mine & could use a better sized rear sprocket. The shame of it all is that the perfectly good m/c they...

    Oh really??!! That would be awesome! That's what I was looking for. I had read what you guys said about running the 18lbs springs. That's why O asked Mr racing about them. If I can hit 5,000 .+ without them.......why bother. Save me some work & grief_ Hey, do you know if any honda g x 240 will...

    As for the pred. being great, we'll see. It came from harbor freight & they have screwed me b4 in the past so we'll see. $90 was just a little to tempting to pass up. But than again, so was the last deal they got me on. As for small kids.......your such a sweet person! That's the best thing...

    Ouch! Lol I ordered from nr racing. Talked to them b4 l ordered too. They told me the rodshould be just fine but to replace the flywheel with a Honda or an aluminum flywheel. Of which I already have a Honda flywheel so I figured I was good 2 go. No big deal if I don't run the valves springs...

    OK, I have the build figured out. Well mostley. I bought a 6.5 predator for $90plus 6.99s/h. I pieced together a a comtec torque convertor. I cut the center out of the buggy (retained the rear shocks) in the pic. & welded it to the front of a two seater I picked up for $20. The whole thing is...

    530 spockets

    It's 1" & Im pretty sure 1/4" keystock. I was thinking of getting a blank 35 sprocket & drilling out the bolt pattern on the drill press to match my holder. I will have to be careful to get it right tho. The 530 sprocket that's on it is 4 bolt & the same bolt spacing as the yerf dog bolt...

    I came across another kart for free. It needs some work also. I'm combining the the two & building "Frankinkart". -Built from the parts of other dead go karts.

    530 spockets

    Not sure yet but I have an axle with a 530 sprocket. The sprocket holder doesn't match up to a kart sprocket & the shaft is larger than 1". Just looking for options.

    530 spockets

    Maybe this is a stupid question but is it possible to get a clutch with a sprocket for a 530 chain? Or even a sprocket for the end of a jackshaft that's 530?

    Honda GX240 idle?

    Yeah, but its a little hard to set when it won't stay running. If I hold it @ WOT or part throttle its the same thing; runs great for 5-10 sec. then bogs out if I don't work the throttle. It also doesn't want to restart easily afterwards like it's flooded.

    Honda GX240 idle?

    Thanks, I was wanting to order a "stage 1" kit for it that comes with a bigger jet & cone filter. Ironically I was just waiting to get it running good first. Have you heard much good or bad about NR racing? Or do you have any suggestions for a good supplier?
