Thank you for the offer rob! I will get back to you soon.

Also, I look at these pictures, If I used any of the bike motor mounts it appears that it would bolt through the top and rear of my engine in those bolt holes. Wouldn't it be upside down/backwards?

Ahh yes, that is the complete kart, I talked to them about that and they only weld on that cheapo mount when they build the kart. The rolling chassis I bought looks like this, and I confirmed this was an actual picture of the kart I will receive. If it does come with that mount, from your...

Also, one other thing; do you guys have any ideas for fabrication of the shift lever? Which I assume will just be an extension of the pedal shifter to run along side my seat? The shark shifter engine mounts look like they would hold my engine at an odd angle?

What model is it? 40?

Hey anderkart, Thanks for all the help so far! I bought a frame today, it will be shipped this week. It is a Road Rat XR. I went to alibaba.com and arranged for a "sample order" I got one rolling chassis for $400 dollars, no commitment required! It is set up for a 4 stroke clone engine, which...

Do you all have any experience with pit bike motors or similar? I figure if I can mount one on a go kart frame it would be the cheapest way to get wide range of performance. I am looking at a 125cc lifan, it has 5 gears built in. Even better it produces 10-11 hp. I like my utility engine, but it...

Just checked out craig's list, nothing of interest. Just checked out your project anderkart- exactly what I want to build! Just a minor detail I believe, I am pretty partial to sprint kart style body paneling. Whats the performance like? I want something fast through the full range- again...

Reply. Thanks for the help guys! I have been doing lots of research- several frames I could purchase but I am still looking for a better deal. around the $500 dollar range. I want a sprint type chassis, I love the way they look. I don't plan on racing competitively, just for cruising the...

Great, I have a friend who races karts and I will go with him some day. Will a briggs 303cc ~~ 10hp engine fit on that frame? What Modification is required? Will a TC fit if I find one?

Hey, If you are still monitoring this post, I am interested!

Hello all! I am starting my first go kart project and am disappointed to find out how there is no one producing TC's as good as they have been made before. Anyways, that is in another thread. For here I am trying to find a racing style go kart frame. I dont need suspension. I want the seating...

I am starting my first karting project at 14, and just found out the frame, the one I rode during my childhood, I was looking has been sold, and sold again; but I'll make another thread for that. More disappointingly it seems as if there are no torque converters that can handle 8+ hp on the...

Just for clarification; the comet clones I have been looking at, the same that you recommended, are rated up to 13 hp by the sale page claims. They still call them Comet 218355a TAV2 30-100. The part I'm worried about is that 30, they are still comet 40 clones, correct?

Wow- so the TC really does increase low end torque. Thanks for fixing my gear ratio math, gotta think about my physics! Those comet clones were the ones I was looking at, are they still low quality?? I want a decent top end 30 mph or so at 3600 rpm. More importantly perhaps is acceleration, the...

Ahh, I you speak the truth! Comets seem to be hard to find- is it true they went out of buisness? I still want a TC I think, the prospect of a automatic transmission capable of 40% underdrive, 20% over drive an everything in between is quite attractive. I agree I should look into a better a...

Hey guys! My first post here at DIY. I need help deciding on my wheel and tire setup. I am taking the Carter Bro's Turbo Tiger frame in the link bellow. http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41uiGavKWCL._AA280_.jpg It was the kart I rode when I was a kid, I am 15 now. My dad sold it to a...
