just picked up a 11 hp briggs magnatron motor on a leaf blower. anyone out there ever use one of these? has a downdraft carb and starts and I can keep it running by manually playing with the throttle on the side of motor because the linkage is not hooked up correctly. Not sure if it is...

I'm new to gocarts and I'm presently building one. Now I just picked up another cart separate from the one I'm making, a racing cart but I'm not familiar with them. I've looked at pics of other peoples on here and it seems to be the same set up, the seat offset to the left and engine mounted...

OK, so in my book I scored majorly. I'm a carpenter first off. I went to a home owners house on tuesday to start a new job doing some rot repair and I saw this racing gocart on the side of his shed outside and such. I'm in the middle of building a 11hp cart myself and just commented that it...

anyone have any advice on how to adjust them and get this thing running correctly?

this is an old post going but I finally rebuilt the carb and it is running but not quite correctly. I think its something to do with the adjustment screws on this updraft carb. I got it to run but with a high rpm with the screw on the bottom of the carb. now there is another screw on the...

why do you think those carbs suck ?

leaks from the red box in that picture that round ring is a brass ring you press in there and I researched it and is commonly worn out and causes a vaccume leak.

The throttle shaft bushing.... for anyone interested this is the first time i've ever seen this problem I have, but #10 is the part that I think is bad on my carb.... http://outdoorpowerinfo.com/repairs/briggs_small_two-piece_flo-jet_part2.asp:cheers2: :wai:

should there be any play in the shaft side to side?

Ok, I'm continuing on my 11 hp project cart, and have spark now, and rebuilt the carberator on my 11 hp briggs and stratton magnetron motor. Now It didnt start due to what I think is a problem. Kind of hard to explain but i'll try---- The intake baffle shaft seems to have a little play side to...

Ok I have an extra go cart frame and 500cc bike motor around, so anyone have any pics or good directions how to hook up the clutch and tranny set up off the motorcycle? I've never built a cart like this before. I see some people say on here about spinning the existing shifter 90 degrees? I'm...

I'm new to building go carts. Now those of you with bike motors on go carts-- do you still use the transmition set up with clutch off the bike, or do you just utilize the bike motor with some other clutch set up on the gocart. Basically I didnt know if had multiple gears on your cart and had...

I'm not familiar with what an up draft carb is. I'll take pics today and try to post them so you can take a look.

WE HAVE IGNITION! I have spark now, I feel stupid..... the clip in the rubber boot was bent open and didnt make good contact even on my spark tester the other day. I closed it up and have spark. Now it fires and sounds like it is going to start up and kicks over a few times and shuts...

thanks all for the quick responses. I have a spark tester and there definitely is no spark, not a plug problem. I picked up a different frame today than the other one I found from someone else. I actually bought 2 for $75. The good one came with drum brakes, pedals, cables, chain, ect...

I'm going tommorow to pick up a frame with brakes, tires but no seat for $30. Says it just needs to be painted but is straight and in decent shape. Now I've aquired a leaf blower with a 11 hp briggs & stratton magnatron motor with now spark. Question 1: is this a decent motor to start out...

Hello all newbie here-- I've never done a go kart before but am looking forward to having some fun with it. I hopefully have a used frame as of tommorow with tires and I have a 11 hp briggs motor off a leaf blower. Could anyone tell me what else I need for the build? I see from the other...
