hey all, I was playing with my kart the other day and started taking off what seemed to me as heat shields for safety?? Now that I look at it im wondering if those are there so currents from the flywheel flow up to cool the head. So my questions are...Will the engine run hotter if I remove...

does anyone know where to find a 10 inch split steel pulley for 1/2" v belts. Does anyone know a good site for different sized pulleys? thx in advanced

well i did it originally so there would be no corners without paint coverage for rust but than realized the heat melted most of the paint anyways. In a way it was an amateur mistake. BUT I did get the steering all done the rear wheel bearings welded on and now working on getting everything...

Question for you smart people out there. Does it matter if the brake is on one side of the axle instead of the middle??? Like on the outside of the wheel bearing?? Im using a band brake from a minibike and it would be alot easier if it could.:toetap05:

those welds are f'ing perfect and if you can lay those down your the man. But the welds on the kart.......ummm i donno if i could do those on purpose.... go slow and along the crack of the parent metals. It almost looks like your going up and down them instead of across them.

haha yea its just a mock up the pic on the top all the way to the right is whats done so far

btw does anyone want an 89 cr125 engine. Its in pieces but its complete minus piston and plug...... its on ebay as ''89 cr125 engine''. trades are also welcome so let me know

Well I wasnt going to post anything untill it was done but I got bored and decided wtf why not. So it all started as the blue only part. I than added braces to that. The kart was originally a kids kart with a 3.5hp on it. I then added angle iron to extend the frame about a foot and than added...

yea come on I wanna see some videos of you ripping this beast

get a socket thats just big enough for the chain to sit on as a base. you use a socket so you have a base but a hole for the pin to fall through. Than punch out the pin. Done it a bunch of times and works great.

The way I look at it is as long as everything is the same on each side it would be balanced right?

so wait if its a full running kart that needs a lil welding I think its a good deal and would jump on it. If it needs brakes ect... like more than $100 of work I wouldnt jump on it

Can wheel hubs be square and still be balanced?? The reason i ask is because I can cut steel squares easily and have my work drill and tap the holes

wow you are like an inspiration for me to stop taking my sweet *** time and just get my kart done. I'm in the middle of a ten horse build with a belt tension clutch. how about an eta u spent on the kart total

im an idiot and I appreciate everyone dealing with my stupidity......................sorry but im a stoner

ok but can anyone answer my question??? Why is the engine sprocket always the smaller one of the two. Is it for clearance issues? Does it actually help with wheel torque or is it just because.

Yes I know but my question is why is the engine sprocket always smaller. Is there a reason? I know about gear ratios. anything that has torque has horsepower Torque x Rpm / 5252 = hp

hey guys n gals, does it matter if the engine sprocket is big? I always see a small engine sprocket and large axle sprocket. I am using pulleys and a belt with a manual clutch and can only find small pulleys that I know will work. Does a smaller engine pulley create more wheel hp or is it just...

Hey sideways, youre absolutely right and this is why i post my ideas on here so people can help me improve them. I also like the double pulley idea. Im going to be running this setup with a ten horse from a chipper. Do you guys think i should stick with a steel cable or design some kind of...

hey guys n gals, I have an idea and would like your opinoins and ideas. It's a clutch that works like a cars clutch but it uses pulleys belts and applying tension with a spring when the clutch is engaged. When the clutch is disengaged the tension is released by pulling down the pulley with a...
