Parts finally showed up, so started working on the Go-Kart again. The rear sprocket is as big as the tyre so I will be upsizing the rear tyres. Made the seats and covered them, made the drive Hub, I'll be making new hubs for all four corners as well. Also made another frame to go below the...

If you want to feel a boost, inject oxygen into a running engine, oxygen as in a cutting torch. NOT acytalene!!!, you will just be blown up.

It is sold by Roy Gripski and Sons, in the GA Power Equipment Spares Catalogue. The adapter is for the Old Style Victa Engine, not the new one piece crankcase. It adapts the Tapered Crankshaft to a 3/4" Clutch, retails for $46. Most Mower shops in Australia have this catalogue and can order it...

Yes, it is a tig welder, I prefer to Tig weld or Oxy weld everything. The welds are stronger and much cleaner, Tig is a bit harder than Mig but not alot, anybody can Tig weld, And once you learn to do it, you will hate welding with anything else. Charley

Update, Day two, I know it has been more than two days, But it is only the second day I have worked on the Kart. I had to cut the tack welds on the spindles, I tacked them at 90 degrees, instead of 107 degrees, but it was a quick fix, thats why you tack everything first. Then I tacked...

Ok, if we are wrong then you should be looking at a cart that will go 130kph, go for it and let us know how it turned out.

I don't mean to be a party-pooper, but I don't think it will go at all, thats a pretty high gear ratio, Fairly tall tyres and a pretty weak motor, not a good combination. Throw in a bigger motor and you got something. Most whipper snipper motors are 38cc or less and you really need something...

If you can wait a week I'll let you know how mine comes out, I'll even throw together a drawing or two for ya. Charley

Progress today: I went to the steel place and purchased some 1" square tubing, some 3/8" bar stock, some 7/8" round tubing and some 20mm bar stock, also stopped by the bolt place and got a few bolts. I couldn't find Tubing the correct size for the Kingpins, so I had to turn out my own out of...

Go to a Mower repair center, Just tell them you want to install a 3/4" Centrifical clutch on a Victa engine for a minibike. I can't remember the catalogue it was in but when I go back and order it tomorrow I'll get more info for you. It was called an Adapter nut for Victa Engines. Charley
