    Suitable engine for homemade Go Kart

    Well said and electric units are capable of amazing speed and performance but electric is great for power tools but I build backwoods off road hot rod karts and. mini bikes and I am allergic to wire harnesses. I am great with dermal in hand at helping engines run more efficiently gas engines...

    PHOTOS OF ARACHNID

    I am still trying to understand the benefit of running a deff rear end in a cart. Unless you gain independent rear suspension a deff robs a lot of power so I can’t understand why you would give up performance just to lose traction on a off road machine. You did awesome work your machine is a...

    Suitable engine for homemade Go Kart

    When the technology is actually sufficient to compete with my 460 in fields that actually matter to someone building and running a go cart, only then will I even consider other types of power. The batteries that those engines use and wear out will do a lot more harm to this amazing planet then...

    Anyone order from studz racing?

    My experience with them was good. Fast shipping large selection of quality high performance mini bike parts, they also have some hard to find parts for example they carried 1.2 ratio roller rockers for Tillotson and Ducar Hemi heads 6 months or so before I could find them anywhere else. They...

    Burning through belts...

    The inboard side is the engine side that is another part of the lingo a lot of people pretend to know. It is also definitely time to disassemble the driver and the driven and lay all parts in order on a clean bench and take a few close up picks of all parts. That’s truly the only way we can...

    44cmagnum info

    I have a 44 series TC and my question is if I buy a 1” fixed face will it fit on my clutch that came with a 3/4” fixed face I think they are all compatible. The only parts that specify shaft size are the fixed face parts of the driver unit in my opinion there is no comparison between the 40...

    What is this setup coming from an oil fill?

    Suzuki turned the engine on the FireCat series in 2003 and it allowed my 700cc two stroke to pump out 145 hp and the FireCat setup was light and ridged compared to the ZR chassis it replaced but that bike would only see an improvement until the engine sucked as much fine dust as 02 and I bet...

    New purchase Kart with 420cc Predator Belt Issues

    I promise you the red spring is inboard ad the yellow is outboard at least for comet and the back plates are the easiest way to install these clutches with your driven clutch on backwards you cannot create any preload it is kind of like installing a turbo 400 and putting just enough fluid to...

    My sons intro to horsepower

    FYI something you learn from experience in the real world that is if you believe what your temp gage tells you the higher the octane the cooler your engine runs after all higher octane is maid and is needed so the fuel burns when it is supposed to it is not fun when you think you are on your...

    My sons intro to horsepower

    Ethanol eats any rubber or plastic part it makes contact with and I have had much better luck with slide carbs than stock style carbs which I have forgotten what a stock type carb is called but anyhow I run a flat slide on the Tillotson and a D slide on my big block 452 and once I have a chance...
