I'm not worried about the frame, it's steel and I'll add gussets everywhere, and the axles are 3/8" bolt-on and won't pop out like a quick release. I am worried about the brakes, but if I can find a fork I have an old set of hydraulic disc brakes. I don't think I can put on a 70 tooth onto the...

I just wondering what gearing I should run, I have access to a plasma table so I can cut out just about any size, I just need to know how many teeth I need.

Found an old single speed bike on the side of the road, and my friend has a ton of old parts left over from a build, so there is only one logical thing to do here. I think it is a 6ish hp engine w/ torque convertor, the bike is a 27.5". So what gearing should I run? 10 to 54? This will be an...

So I finally learned to weld in shop class. We have about 5 or 6 Briggs and Stratton 5hp in the back and I’m going to see if the teacher will let me Frankenstein one together. I also found a $40 bike at the thrift store, and if I mashed them tighter I could have something that I could easily...

Hey, it’s been a while. So I was bleeding some hydraulic brakes and used dot 4 fluid. They aren’t working super well, and I realized it says on the cap that you need dot 3. Is the reason the they aren’t working? Is there really a big difference between the 3 and 4 fluid? Thanks.

The brake band keeps coming off the drum. Any cheap or free ideas?

Like I said in the title. I don't want to remove the govenor, cause' I poor and don't have money for a new engine if this one blows. I've heard you you can move the gov spring to different holes on the gov arm to ajust the rpm. I just need to know which one. I might just use the ziptie trick.

So me and a Friend are doing a ULTIMATE GO KART SHOWDOWN :wai: We came up with a lot of events, but anyone else have any other ideas? I'm using a Pathwinder two-seater and my friend a Firefox 620. Drag race Tug of war Rally race Hill climb Brake test Drift contest Top speed run Start and stop...

What make and model is this? I think it’s homemade. This is for a friend.

Hey guys, thanks to your advice, I am in the process of installing a brand new t/c for my go kart. Problem is, the nice new sprocket I got won’t move, because the key in it is to big. Any suggestions that only involve very simple hand tools (also, no torch either)? Thanks guys!

So I just got here. I think that my email is kinda a lame name. So how do I change my name and add one of those quotes on the bottom, like: Just keep hitting it, will fit eventually. Oh, and also, does anyone have that quote thing? Alright, thanks.

The title summarizes it. I have bought three different bolts for the crankcase cover to use to mount the t/c to it. Does anyone know the size? And what is the size to the thread inside the crankshaft? Thanks guys! :thumbsup:

So, due to oversized tires and not wanting to spring for a torque convertor, my clutch has worn out. It engages when I start it, and I can’t stop without jamming on the brakes. If I buy something like what’s in the link, will it help...

Hello, this is my first post, so sorry if I don’t know how to do this. I have a sprocket in my go kart, it had two bolts on it, one came off. The other snapped off. I tried to drill out the bolt, and drilled down into the axle. It still won’t come off. Also the clutch is glued on with blue lock...
