    Briggs engine

    8HP flathead I was looking into buying an 8HP briggs & stratton engine that came off a snowblower from 1970s. I was wondering if it would fit onto normal racing kart motor mounts and if the shaft can easily be used with 3/4in clutch. The owner says it starts first pull and i know these engines...

    NEW style HF Predator engine

    I was thinking the exact same thing about the flywheel. If there is an electric start predator than maybe it will get aftermarket support soon. I will go to my local HF store to check if they actually have it.

    Questions on racing kart

    Yeah I know the pics are dark. My kart frame is in the attic very hard to get light up there. Do you know what the seat bars that go through the holes are called? I couldn't find the name of it anywhere. Isn't the master cylinder bracket supposed to be aligned straight with the brake pedal...

    First Rebuild on my childhood go-Kart

    If you want more low end torque what you have to do is change the gearing. Get a bigger sprocket on the axle. (eg:72 teeth instead of 60 teeth) By doing this tyou will lose some top speed but gain some low end torque

    Will these fit?

    Thanks. The only reason i said the size 7 X 3 rim size when its a 6 inch wide tire is because when I posted a similar question about the tire and rim combo only difference was that the tire was 5 inches wide instead of 6. Anderkart replied by saying to get the 6 X 2.5 size so i figured this tire...

    Will these fit?

    But do you think the size 7 X 3 for that rim would work? If wider tires have better traction why arent the front tires just as wide as the back?
