    HF Predator Engines??

    I use one for a 700lb buggy and just by removing the gov, shaving .30 off of the timing key, opening up the intake adding a 32mm mikuni and making an 1 1/2 exhaust it moves it at about 50mph and still has lots of torque for climbing:thumbsup:

    Can I use ATV torque converter clutches for a go kart?

    polaris atv clutch on a 420cc clone

    polaris atv clutch on a 420cc clone

    thought I would post a couple of updates, I ended up changing my front spindles to run a hydraulic brake, got rid of the hand controls and switched to a standard steering wheel, added a 32mm Mikuni CV carb, and changed the frame some. Its been running well and fun to drive.

    Engine and drive train

    something to look for depending on where you live is an older polaris ATV as this will get you a set of clutches set for about 450lbs and a transmission. Alot of times the motor is no good and people just want them out of the yard, keep an eye out:thumbsup:

I would say if...

    help on my dune buggy project??

    you can use a polaris atv clutch on that engine with a few mods. http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=17213 these clutches are very tunable and can take much more than the engine can give.
