    Just scored an older go kart with a f1 body- I want to put my gx390 on it.

    I like the slicks , but going a hair larger on the rear tires would be a possibility with a live axle and converter setup. At the same time maybe I’ll just copy the steering/spindles and build a little beefier kart for the 390 and just leave this one be. I fixed the brake and hit 25 mph with it...

    Oh yes. I live in an aluminum boat repair shop, rebuild diesel truck transmissions, turbos, engines- and that’s what I do for fun/side work.

Would it be to much of a shame to covert it to a...

    Bought it off the local classifieds. Looking for a clutch that will handle the gx390 and me (250lbs). The tires are 7-8” tall, I think it’s a 60t sprocket. Upon further inspection the cart f1 body says “bird” and “dr pepper” on a label on the underside of the fiber glass body. It’s also a 1...

    Hello from AK

    I had a basic one seater cart when I was a kid. Now I'm building a two seater for my boys and I just happen to have a good running gx340 Honda pressure washer motor with a bad pump along with a stick welder. I'm just going to gear it down so they can ride on the beach/trails by my house:)
