Yeah I'm getting an audi flywheel now...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'm going with the second one. Also, just noticed the link for the second one in my original post is playing up and coming up with a sleeping bag. Tried editing it and it saves with the right link but then goes back to the sleeping bag so heres a pic if anyone...

Hi everyone. A couple weeks ago I got a free 5.5hp gx160 of a guy down the road and I've been cleaning it up and planning to put it on a go kart. Now I'm thinking of making a drift trike as it will be cheaper and even a bit more appealing to me. Due to the price of buying an axle, bearings...

Thanks for the replies. I've done a lot more than tap at it with a screw driver to try and get it out and still nothing (got a dint in the carbys body from a socket extensions I was hitting into it and broken off some of the body where I was prying at it with the claw on a hammer. Not worried...

Hi everyone. I'm trying to clean up a gx160 I got for free of a guy down the road before putting it on the kart I'm building. I was having problems with it idling and surging so I bought a new carby for it off ebay and it arrived today but I cannot get the old one off. I've watched a few videos...

Hello everyone. I am piecing my go kart together and I have decided to use a torque converter on 18" wheels with a 50t sprocket and see how it goes. The sprocket I have is 428 size and is already mounted on the axle and I can't find any other sprockets that will mount onto the hub I have so I...

I'm at work so I can't measure it until later today (It's 11am where I live)

Not sure about the measurements but its a honda trx90x and its got 4 bolts

Ok guys I have been shopping around trying to find the right combination. I've found 60t sprockets that will fit on the hub on the axle I have but they are still #428. All of the torque converters I have found are #35 or #41 and I can't find a replacement sprocket for the TC thats #428. Should I...

Yeah ok looks good. Have you got a link for that one? I tried finding it but couldn't find it for that price.

Torque Converter questions [EDIT -sid-]AND AGAIN....[EoE] Hi everyone. I am in the process of building my go kart and I'm using a honda gx160 5.5hp engine and the rear axle/sprocket/tyres of a old honda trx90x go kart. The tyres are 18". Because of the size of the tyres and the 50t sprocket I...

Also, was just playing around with it and I'm thinking a jackshaft is the way to go as I could just use a #35 centrifugal clutch and sprocket on the jackshaft and then a 428 sprocket to the rear axle. For the jackshaft, I will have to use bearing won't I? Anything else I should look out for? And...

Hmm yeah ok. From what I've heard though, a 4.2:1 ratio on 19" tyres with a clutch would not work at all.

What do I have to do to run 18" tyres [EDIT -sid-]AND AGAIN....[EoE] Hi everyone. I'm gathering the parts to make myself a go kart and currently I have a Honda gx160 5.5hp motor, a rough frame, and a rear axle off a Honda trx90 quad. I want to use the quad bike axle to save cost (Only spent...

Thanks for the responses. It all sounds good but I can't find a 10t 428 clutch which is why I was asking about the 420 clutch. Would a 4.2:1 (using a 12t 428 clutch) be to high for 250mm wheels?

Hi guys I have done my research on ratios for my kart but I'm thinking I might be able to save some money if I use the rear sprocket and chain off an old honda trx90 quad bike we have. The kart I'm building has a honda gx160 5.5hp motor and 10inch/250mm rear wheels. Would I be able to use the...

Ok thanks. I thought that might be it. I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MHwCwlmSwQ on cleaning the carb but when I go to take mine off I undo the two nuts on the front of the air intake assembly and theres another bolt up above the carby but it won't slide off like in the...

Hi everyone. I picked myself up a Honda gx160 from a garage sale yesterday and I'm trying to get it running well before I start the go kart. The problem I'm having is to do with the carburetor. It has a fuel on and off switch which I just have on all the time which is fine and a choke that works...

Thanks for the reply. The rear sprocket and chain ive got is 420 pitch which i can find a clutch to match. As for the TC, would i be able to get away with 5:1 ratio on 18inch tyres with it? If not, ill probably keep the gearing and put smaller wheels on the back as they wont be hard to find and...
