Lots of guys on this forum constantly claim a Torque converter is always better than any Centrifugal clutch. That's not always true... Yes I agree Torque Converters do offer better acceleration, and also allow many karts to be geared for a higher top speed potential. Torque converters are...

Please read and understand the following info before posting in this thread: This thread is for everyone to post pics of their factory made karts. (please no DIY/homemade-frame kart pics allowed in this thread) Only post pics of your kart if your 100% sure what brand it is, and please include...

In the early to mid 1950's my big brother (Mike) and several of his friends all built their own go karts. (but no one had ever heard of the term 'go kart' back then, they called them Micro Midgets) My brother built his first go kart in 1952, it was just made from wood. He took the...

So I just picked up this 1972 Fox Tracker minibike: Its got a factory installed 2-cyle Tecumseh engine, I'd never even seen of these until now: The sticker reads Tecumseh AH817MB. I haven't researched it much but apparently this is a 5-hp engine. Its the big-un ;) Its got a factory...

I just ran across this Durostar engine for the first time this morning in a thread here. That pull start cover sure seems to be a totally unique design and not just yet another direct GX-honda rip off. I still need to do more research to try and figure out who manufactures these engines, but...

Pics of a mechanical Chevy fuel pump on a Race Kart Yesterday at the races I ran across this kart that has a Chevy fuel pump that operates off an axle mounted eccentric that'd been custom machined. I just thought some of you hard core DIY'ers enjoy seeing these pics: The owner claimed the...

I just picked this GX390 up yesterday. It was on an air compressor that'd seized up. I found a federal EPA sticker with 2002 dates and this thing runs perfect, doesnt smoke at all, had a very clean air filter plus the oil looked like new. (I got a feeling it hasn't had many hours of use) The...

Anyone else here play a musical instrement? (or the drums :D) I ran across a couple guitarist on another thread here today and thought we needed our own musicians thread instead of hijacking freaks subwoofer thread anymore. I'm prety much a hack, but I've been flailing the bass for serveral...

I have a bunch of good used race kart slicks I'd sell for $50 per set of 6. (+ actual shipping costs / my selling price includes the box and packing) The front tire sizes are 10" x 4.60 - 5". (these fronts should work fine mounted on most any 5" diamiter rim ranging from 3" to 6" wide) My rear...

To win the contest, answer the following question: What's the first thing you know?

I have a chance to buy this minibike for around $50. I was just wondering if anyone might know what brand it is or had any info/opinions on this thang? It seems to have kind of a bizarre rear suspension design.

Is this gearing calculator only accurate when using #35 chain/sprockets? http://www.diygokarts.com/speed-calculator.html It sure seems like the pitch diference between say a #219, #35, #40/41 or a #520 type setup would require the calculator to be calibrated differently for each.

I woke up yesterday to find my Toyota truck had been stolen. :furious2: It was locked up and parked out front just like its been for the last 10 years. I had full coverage insurance but this still really sucks balls. I had the cops out and now were dealing with the insurance company. Were...

Hey, I just picked up this older Sprint chassis last month. Thing is, I cant figure out what brand it is. I was told it was a mid-90's Margay, but it does not have any numbers stamped in the frame (near the spindles) like Margay's are supposed to. It does have some digits stamped into the...
