they always look a lil big

Top end will be the same though .... 6.5 will only get you there a lil slower

i got 22 inch tires ... runnin a 6:1 gear ratio with a comet 40 series and 10hp motor. at 3600 rpm it will top out at about 32 mph. My kart including myself on it weighs about 400 pounds and hauls arse. Lots of low end torque. Could regear a lil higher for more top end.

Looks a little like a thunder kart.

I know the link of the video exists b/c I've seen it. But as yourslef, I havent been able to find it. Ill keep searching.

Well the "built in" ones are sold with a 2" or 3" rectangluar tube(box). The jack shaft is mounted through the tube(box) with 2 bearing. Then the motor is mounted on top of the tube(box). Its made so that you have the perfect distance between the drive and driven clutch assembly. All bolt on...

Long time no post.. Sorry guys, its been a while since I've been on the borads. A couple weeks ago I picked up the last few peices I needed to get it running as well as some yerfdog plastic seats. The steering wheel placement is temperary until I get more metal to finish the cage. I figure...

Yes but he said he hasnt removed the first bolt at the end of the crank shaft yet. Thats all he need to do.

I cant find the link but I saw a video from a comet distributor on how to remove it. What they did was take out the spark plug and spun the crank so that you get the piston at the lowest point. Then take a rope and feed as much as possible into the cylinder. The rope will jam the pistion from...

With the 13hp motor, theres pretty much only one way u should go. Comet 40 series would my choice. Get one out of a junked gokart or suck it up and dish out the 350 or so brand new. Its definetly worth every penny

im using 1.5" .120 square tubing on my build. Heavy yes, but very strong. Ive usued about 75 feet and have a lil bit more to go. Cost is about 40$ for 24 ft section. Ill let u know exact weight and what not a lil later

I mounted them on top after I installed the steering rack because things got crowded. Reason for the angle was so that the shock mounts werent ridiculously high after that change. And works well for travel yes. Neway, heres a few pics of the cage coming to be. Rear shocks have been mounted and...

Where can I get a #41 chain locally? Other than a Gokart retailer....

what gear ratio are you running? what motor?

What rod were you using Stephen? Some rods can be tricky even when the machine is set correctly. Try bumping up the amperage and see if that helps first.

ill jump on the ones at northern tool and see what happends.

genius lol ill stop and pick up an extra pair of shocks today. i might get bigger atv shocks for the rear

Ok so I ran into a lil snag. Today I welded up everything that ive posted in the pics above and aligned it all up so i can get on with the rest of the cage. I mounted up the shocks and steering rack and pulled out the jacks from under it. Everything looks good BUT!, the mechanical shocks...

Nope, the flux insulates the rod from arcing but depending on the amperage u can still feel it even if your hands/gloves are just sweaty or lightly damp.

6010 and 6011 have a little bit deeper penetraion but I think you will be fine with 6013. I was just curious. And yes you can touch the welding rods. In most cases you wont be grounded to your work or machine. Even in the event you are, theres absolutely nothing to fear as long as you are...
