It's getting very close now, just have to weld the right plate on,get bolts and cut the chain to length and the drive train is going to be done yeah the alignment looks a little messed up but it's going to be fixed, and I know it does not look that nice but it will when it's painted ,then I can move on to the exhaust system next week the hardest part .

Any engine that is has the points or magneto ignition trigger on the crankshaft the ignition fires every 360 degrees. Hook the pick up wire or antenna to one cylinder of your engine and set the code up to 01 on your tachometer.

I didn't get to weld it today they was testing But I did cut the chain to length so it fits now perfectly the alignment is perfect and here's a picture of it with the new tires and chain on.

I have got to hand it to you. You have persevered with this kart and it looks like you are nearly done. A lot of people would have given up a long time ago

Yeah because I know it's going to be worth it in the end and yes it's almost done the drive train is almost done I'm getting it welded tomorrow, then it's technical driveable but it doesn't have an exhaust yet I'm planning something for that and we gonna try to weld that next after we finish the drive train, I've been recording video and I'll upload it soon as we finish welding the drive train and going to be doing these in a series, the video I'm going to release is going to be called project rocket kart drive train, then next is going to be a video all about the exhaust

I got the other side of the drive train welded sadly like I guessed they don't have the right stuff to do the exhaust so I'll have to take it to a muffler shop, so I'll bolt everything up and start the motor to test if everything is working right and it's spinning the wheels and then I'll bring it home and take it to the muffler shop later

Ok sorry it took me a while for an update but, I had to get all the welds fixed and strengthened because some had broke but it will be done soon but Im starting a new project it won't mean I won't finish this just means I have other things I have my eyes until I get it running, ok so yesterday I bought my first car a 03 Hyundai tiburon Gt v6 6 speed, needs anew motor but other than that it has a new transmission and clutch, payed 1100 for it
