Hey guys i dont know if its at every northern tool location but at my local northern tool, they are having a sale on all their go kart parts. Except tires and tubes and clutches. From what the sales clerk said to me stores are no longer stocking go kart parts in stores, but will be available via...

Yeah i know 3hp is low for a kart buts its all i got and all i can afford right now. im considering a 6.5 hp predator from harbor freight later this fall. My 3 hp is 127cc the 5hp i have is 206 cc and the 6.5 hp from harbor freight is 212 cc lol something doesnt add up :DD I would use the 5hp...

Looks similar to the frame i just bought if mines a 60's model frame then ill be tickled pink! :D http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=17176&highlight=blmiller93 Thats a link to my build you can see my frame im working with there.

So i have 2 engines. a 3hp and a 5hp briggs and stratton. Both spin at 3600 rpm (according to tag) What is the advantage of a 5hp over a 3 hp engine on a go kart if they are both rated for 3600 rpm. I know 5 hp produces more watts than a 3 hp but if a speed calculator measures speed by rpm then...

Thanks guys, i was looking at wheels at northern. Specific go kart wheels with tires are approximately 9 inches in diameter. (together) But those are 40 bucks a wheel. Kinda pricey to be honest. Id rather spend 200 bucks elsewhere. im not going to have boo koos of money till later this fall...

Eh with a 10 inch tire and a 5:1 ratio like that calculator recommends for go karts produces the same speed of 21. 5:1 sounds more feasible.

Thanks. According to that and looking at a 6:1 ratio it says 11mph. using a 6" wheel. and apparently 6" is a little on the small side for go karts. The kart and myself included shouldnt weigh over 250lbs. going with an 8" wheel and a 4:1 ratio it increases to 21mph so that isnt a bad deal at all...

Drive ratio I dont know standard tire size to aid in my search but im guessing a 6" wheel is about the right size for the rear on a go kart. im using a 127cc 3 hp briggs and stratton 3600rpm engine for this build, and id like to get a decent amount of top speed, say at least 15 mph. What would...

Changed build to Go kart http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=17176 go here to check it out.

Well here i am, in the go kart section. Ive been over in the mini bike section cuz i thought thats what ill build, then i found this decent little go kart frame for 20 (USD). The frame itself is a little rough around the edges but i believe with some tlc and some parts i think it will be a...

Introduced myself earlier today on the forum, and i figured id start my whole build thread here. Im a total noob and have no clue what im doing here so maybe this will be a good step by step guide. So far i have had a reply from landuse, which pointed me in a direction which gave me some insight...

Nice looking

Hey guys and gals (i dont discriminate sexually). Came to this site looking for help/ ideas on building my own mini bike. Im 6' 3" so its not going to be super mini. Ive been reading over alot of information and it kinda seems confusing. So far ive decided that a custom frame would be the best...
