I wish I had my buddies luck. The guy he was going to trade, but got scarred off by the speed, gave him a call. He had a guy that would trade him the cart we looked at plus $400. Now lets recap that he only originally paid $150 for the kart. So, he was able to get a safer kart more suited...

guys are lining up to trade me motors. But, playing with the speed calculator I moticed it doesn't ask for HP. So, if I get a 5.5hp turning good RPMs then the cart will still scoot. It'll just take longer to get there. toystory, where did you buy your other gear you modified? I'm thinking...

Instead of me asking basic kart questions one after another do y'all have any recommended reading? I'm looking for links to sites and pages you found very helpful.

I put out a "feeler" on craigslist for a motor trade and have already had 1 bite. How much do you think a gear change and larger tires would make. I have a couple old Snapper mowers setting over at my Dad's. Any chance I could get a pic of some brake set ups. I can look at stock pics of...

I haven't considered a jackshaft because I thought they were used for increasing speed. Changing ther gear ratio was planed.

Well we thought he was going to trade the cart to his lawn mower guy for a factory made kart/buggy, but it was to fast and the brake has gone to sh%*!. Back to the speed discussion. With faulty brakes and my GPS I clocked 34.3mph. That was allowing at least 75yrds to slow down. With good...

I have no clue about the motor make, model, or size. There are no badges or plates to get any info from. I didn't snap a pic of the electric starter on the motor. It looks like a car starter with a pulley adapted to it.

clutch sprocket - 10 axle sprocket - 54 After reading the "5hp governor removal" thread on the forum I do believe it's been defeated. Now I wish I had grabbed my gps because for mine and all your sakes I have to know how fast I can get it.

I know for a fact w/ a 140lb (I'm guessing) person in the seat it did 35mph on pavement not at full throttle. I drove it again today (and I look like a 200lb trained bear in that tiny thing) and I didn't feel any shifts just a build in speed. It doesn't spin the tires, but once it's rolling it...

Here's the pics. I'm open to all opinions and info you guys in the know might have.

My neighbor bought a kart used home built kart for his 8 yr old and my 7 yr old. The issue is he bought it from the guy that runs our local "Lube Shop" that is into dirt track racing. It appears this cart was his sons introduction into racing. It's not a gear-box car or even legal for any...

I'm the classic story of divorced parents and a Dad that started buying karts, mini bikes, and a 3-wheeler to entertain us kids every other weekend. We had some great times and a few injuries. I moved on to 4-wheelers and building trail Jeeps. But, last week my neighbor bought a kart for our...
