Let me know what you need and we can get something worked out. :cheers2:

No worries on welding to the axle. I'm using left over 1 1/2" DOM tubing from a roll cage I made not very long ago. It's for a live axle rear end on a low power cart for one of my kids. I don't have any issues with getting things mocked up and lined up perfectly before welding. If the axle ever...

If those are the only ones I can get inexpensively, I will make them. I was hoping to get the same or similar to the other side as they seem to be very well built. I honestly don't know how the kid broke it, and it baffles me as to why he wouldn't pick it up. It's not like he could keep going...

Thank you sir. Crazy how long it's been since I've been here. My garage currently..... LOL long travel 50 project (mine on the back burner) klipper kart (sons cart) race cart (father daughter project) old school type basic 1 wheel drive cart (daughters cart) pocket bike (got for my son...

A while back I started buying busted carts and bikes and stuff to fix them and have some fun toys for me and my two kids. Well one of them was a race cart from some kid who neglected it pretty bad as well as it being his "learn to weld" project. I got it for a steal and didn't really have any...

Will do. I'll crack open the motor and check the timing. That's honestly what it seems like it might be, but I wasn't sure it could be an issue. I'm used to working on cars with timing chains etc. The motor spins as it should and the valves open and close as they should. The push rods are...

I'm not quite sure where to put this, but figured here would be best. Mods, please move to wherever it should go. Anyway, for a living I program and operate a CNC fiber laser. Standard accuracy is +/-.003", but I regularly have to adjust offsets and stuff to hold .001" tolerances for some...

I was thinking it was something timing related esp due to the bit of backfire here and there. I assumed the carb was preset, but I'll check that as well. As for the valves and whatnot. I pulled the head to confirm the valves are seating properly. Cleaned all the carbon buildup while I was in...

So I got a kart from some kid who didn't take care of it at all. The engine is a honda gx240 with a "bent valve" which apparaently happened from an overrev while "drifitng" it. I cracked it open and it's not a bend valve, the rocker on the intake was broken. The rocker was welded back together...

Not a new member, but I haven't logged on in a very long time. I have quite a few different projects going on and will be posting up some build threads as well as asking some questions regarding some issues I'm having with a couple different motors. :cheers2:

I used a chinese 125cc, with an auto clutch and CVT transmission. I got the quad and the metal for free, so This project honestly cost me nothing. I had all the parts I used laying around. Depending on what you get the quad for (you can get the one I used new for like $800), I would say that...

I'll take and post the pics as soon as I get a chance to (in a day or so, I have to borrow a camera from my sis, mine broke...) but if there is perhaps any questions that you have that I could elaborate on, I can answer those questions much sooner. I wrote a list of the specific pictures you...

buy it, put wheelie bars on it, and see who can do the longest wheelies down the road....

first off, isn't #40, 41, and 42 just bicycle chain?? Definitely not meant for a 200cc motor. You need a heavier chain for sure. I think #42 is heavier than 41 too. (it might be #420) And I'm not 100% sure, but I think #35 is stronger than #40 even though the links are smaller, they are built...

ya, the syncing issue would make it not work, if the motors were at even the slightest different rpm, the cart would start to steer in the rear without any sort of control over it, which would equal unwanted "drifting" and flipping. Now you could go with the dual motor, live axle scenario, but...

Standard quad rear end is fine. You don't get a tippy feeling at all. The rear doesn't articulate as you think it does, there is no angle involved at all, it's always parallel to the ground it just depends if it's up or down. As far as the complexity goes I would definitely go with a solid rear...

I'm actually not sure if it's AC or DC, I just found it the other day, and haven't really taken a look at it yet, just assumed it's AC, cause it had an AC plug in it. And ya, I have the parents throw it away problem all the time. I got clever, and I hide stuff in the garage now...lol. I'm not...

Coming right along....Looks shockingly like my go-quad...just electric. I know you still have a bunch of work to do, making it fold and what not. When it's all said and done are you planning on putting a body on it?? How many wires are coming off the motors?? if there are more than two, then...

If the motor has a stator (you can tell for sure if it has an external coil for the engine spark), look at the wires coming off it. If there is a white and a yellow, you can derive power from those. I'm going off memory here but you can look it up for sure. White would be a 12v power source for...

I enjoy both electrics (for the reason mattlepperd gives here) and also gas engines. When the statement of put a weed eater motor on it was made (since we are in the electrics) I assumed he meant an electric weed eater. I recently found and electric weed eater, and am interested in making it...
