    I appreciate your honest advice. Now finally, I got the 40 series TC. WOW, just barely touch the foot pedal, and it burns the tires off, no belt slippage whatsoever. Plus I went with the 60T sprocket on the axle, 420 chain. I have about 18-19 inch rear tires, I am thinking of getting the 22...

    I was just wondering about what type of speed one could get. I am not wanting much high speed, just a burst here, and there. It has been awhile since I posted, and a lot of work on the kart since then. In my area there are not that many snowmobile engines around, and I been checking most of the...

    Did several test runs on the Kart. For sure gonna have to get the 22" tires on the back, the 19" just do not have enough meat they just keep on throwing roost tails of dirt, sand, grass clean up in the air. We will be taking some live video, and get it posted soon. Just have a few finishing...

    I do not know if you seen the pic, of the hinges I made, but there are 3 hinges, made from thick walled pipe, they separate the cart. I used lawn mower deck bearings. 2 bearings with a spacer in each hinge with a 3/4 bolt thru each. They are welded and reinforced to bear the load, along with the...

    I double checked, and in the front, from outside to outside of the tires it is aprox 49", and 7" of clearance. Oh, plus I had just put in new bushings in the front, and it is still tight. I am sure when they break in it will settle down a bit. Plus the shocks are adjusted high. I really would...

    When I purchased the TAV, it was advertised for the larger engines, I checked, and it is not being advertised no more. It was not the 1st time someone got over, or recieved something mis-leading. Now days people will do anything to make a buck, even sell someone a worn out engine, thats why I...

    Your right, I have a 40 series in the mail. Thought that is what I had, Live&learn. No loss, we can still use this one on another cart. They cost$$$. I can say one thing for sure, when you spending money you learn fast:oops:

    Thanks for the feedback. Yeah it does have a lot of clearance, but It is really wide, hard to see in the pics, when I get the new rear axle in the mail, I will take some better pics. Rear is gonna be 45" with 4 bearings. I thought originally I purchased a 40 series TAV, advertisement was a...

    Thanks, Yeah I was not sure about the chain idler. I am hoping not to have to use one when I mount the new axle, and sprocket. It is hard to see but it is spring loaded, and good thing, cause you are very right, it sure would have broke. The old axle, and sprocket in the pic, along with the...

    The new axle is 45", it will be wider in the back, and give me more options for tires, plus I will insure plenty of off road ground clearance when mounting the new axle/bearings.. I already compensated for it when I built the front wheel arms. I can take a cut off wheel on my grinders, and...

    I used load shocks for 1/4 ton chevy, they are rigid. I watched a lot of videos, and noticed, most karts bouncing, and they had to slow down to take a small ditch, or bump. I am at a standstill right now waiting for a new axle, 60T sprocket/Hub, Wheel hubs, and bearings, have 2 flange type, and...

    Just to clarify,decided to modify the yerf dog. The engine was burnt due to clogged oil injector line. As you can see in the pic below. I have completed most of the mods. Had to beef up the frame to handle the new engine. Plus hinged the engine compartment with 3 hinge mounts, used 6 lawn mower...

    offroad go cart project axle issues

    I am in the process of completing my off road kart. I have a 13hp-TAV40 instead of a jack shaft. I have 20" inch tires in the rear, which gives me clearance for a 60T Sprocket. Although I will add some guides to the new sprocket. Currently at a stand still waiting for the new sprocket, axle...

    Yeah, the oil injector line was clogged on the 90 cc engine. Anyway the Kart is coming along. Now working on the hinge/bearings, and may mount the rear shocks today. Had to totally make new front strut arms. They turned out very good. It is tough fabricating these parts without a lathe!!. After...
