    Offroad kart build

    I'm not sure what you mean? I highly doubt it's going to build itself. Although, that would be pretty sweet. I had a build log going under projects that showed more pics but I really didn't make any progress until late june after we had our baby. Its been crazy busy since and I didn't have...

    Offroad kart build

    Gearing I know it's been awhile since I updated my build but we have made some progress and I will post some pictures today. I do have a question about gearing, my jackshaft and the final ratio for speed calculation: If I run a 9t from the TQ to a 19 on the jackshaft and then a 9t to a 54t on...

    too much power for torque converter

    3/4" to 1" crank sleeve They have exactly what your looking for on eBay. It includes the crank sleeve for 3/4" to 1" and actually comes with a step key that goes 3/16-1/4". It's like $29 but seems easier than any alternative. I was looking to put a series 40 on a HF 212cc as well and it the...

    Torque converter and chain selection for HF 212cc

    Thanks for the info! That's what I was hoping. I found a 3/4"-1" adapter on eBay for like $20. It's a sleeve with a key way and includes the proper key. I was just worried the 212cc didn't have enough power to properly operate the series 40. My real problem is I am mounting my comet fnr...

    Torque converter and chain selection for HF 212cc

    Can a comet 40 series be used with this motor? I would like to use an 8" driven and like the bigger belt. If not how well will a series 20 torque converter work? I am using a comet fnr and really need the spring side of the driven facing inwards for mounting purposes. That makes the 30...

    Offroad kart build

    I recently started an offraod kart build for my son. He's only 3 1/2 but very into tools, building things and anything motorized. For Xmas all he wanted was a ratchet set and some pliers! He can just about change the oil on our cars, gets all the right tools for me and knows what they do. He...
