Here is my project kart ive had it 2 years this coming summer i bought it from CL and it had a briggs flat 5 hp on it. I just recently made the choice to buy and install a 6.5 blue clone from HF got it on-sale for $129
First off had to find a way to get the throttle linkage hooked up, and i put together what i think to be one of the easiest throttle set ups from what i have seen online also got a new driven unit.
found a new manco driven unit my local shop had one for $129
Started off with the bracket used some strapping with holes predrilledin it:
Second drilled a hole in the governer arm for the return spring that i re-used off of my old briggs engine:
Setup together on the engine looks like this:
had to cut the hoop behind the seat so that the gas tank would clear, but i reinforced it looks like it touches but it doesnt.
Overall it runs great way more low end power it slings dirt now. great mid rang too faster throttle response than my ole briggs Only thing left is to get the some washers and get the belt lined up on the driven unit.
