This kart is meant for a KT100 or a TAG motor, the seat supporting bars and rear cross support are in the way of the chain. You would have to cut the seat mount and the rear cross support and move them, which in turn would ruin the handling and be more work.

I do have a 13hp but im not well aware of what i have to do in order to mount it
no ;)
You may have to weld on a new engine plate were the old engine was
NOOOO!!!!!!!! :(
I Dont Really Know But You Can Search Online To See, But You Can Also Buy Some Thick Sheet Metal ,Mark And Measure Where To Put It Get It Welded ,Then Drill Holes In It To Mount The Motor.And You May Have To Relocate The Drive Sprocket On The Axle

For the :censored::stir::mad: of :oops: NO!

The Hasse you have is made for a two stroke engine, and you should NOT just swap to a four stroke;
the geometry of the kart is different, so you will have a less than ideal set up in the end.
For a quick lap of fun in the neighborhood, that's okay.. for a race.. useless!
A buyer will notice!

You shall NEVER weld anything to a racing kart chassis!
Race kart chassis are to be kept in original state if you ever want to flip it.

Haase karts are expensive, if you find the right "buyer" you can easily double your money,
that is, if the frame is intact...

you could however as easily nullify your profit or loose 3/4 of your expenses by just welding in an engine plate!

That will render the frame useless for any race, four strokers will outrun the kart anyways, and it cannot be converted back to take it's oriinal motor mount without affecting it's integrity...

Frame seems to be intact I was going for the other mount because it does not weld anything perm on the frame

Wouldn't you also need a Jackshaft due to the sprocket location? 200$ I would just flip that thing and move on.

Ain't nothin' ever good here in florida... that or kart steals them all...

Hmm wanna bet on that bet you i can find something worth the buy (Price wise not cool factor )

Lol there are many people here in calie but i know what to look for :p live learn and adapt thats why im buying a snowmobile .Why because it has more power then a Vw engine and is a lot lighter what do people do here in calie they go out and drive the dunes with sand rails and dirt bikes this engine would be perfect for a guy looking for a sand rail motor .This engine pumps out about 100hp a original vw bug engine (1600) had about 32-34 and weighed about 3 to 400 pounds (with everything on it ) this engine weighs 100-120 .Why does it have so much power because its not regulated by the EPA and its 2 stroke not 4

trust me buddy. Anything within a reasonable driving distance isn't worth HALF of what its posted for... and everyone wants an arm and a leg for their piece of junk, there's very few of us Florida guys around, but I think most of them would agree EVERYTHING is overpriced out the :censored:

you have 3 options. pay the prices. or build your own. or buy from ebay pay the shipping. yes buying from ebay is cheaper sometimes then buying stuff locally! :surrender:

Its like Canadians and computer parts... ask any Canadian to tell you about the mark ups they have to deal with with a lot of computer parts. :popcorn:

Also I'm not gonna drive and hour and a half for a kart.. the gas alone doesn't make it reasonable...

ok where you live i do this for a living i can find you something around for a good price even if you have to drive a hour for a kt-100 race kart for 350$ thats worth it considering they sell for 1000$ here and you said everything is price much more over there .

Not looking for a race kart though, can't use them around here. too muddy and too many uneven roads... I watch for the better off road karts/buggys. :auto:

Just look at the Orlando craigslist.. Literally the nearest thing to me craigslist wise.

I live in Osceola county. [a county map provided below]


Lake, Orange, Seminole, West Polk, Hillborough, Pinells, Sumter, marion. are gonna be the "areas" most karts are coming from. Clearly if you see on the map, Osceola is not really near any of those, and its a pretty big county itself. for me to get out of it, I have to drive like 30 minutes alone..

sometimes manatee and sarasota.

I never see many gokarts come from brevard. but I think that's where kart lives. :auto:

When I say this, I mean it.. where I live. no such thing as 24 hour stores.. even walmart closes... *cue the dueling banjos*. :popcorn::cheers2:

The problem with Florida is its a darn peninsula. Anything shipped there by truck has to turn around and backtrack. Where as say Missouri they just keep on truckin. It costs twice as much to ship anything to Fl.
