i need brakes, my cart has a diff so does that mean i just need to put a band brake around the hub?

 

[That One Guy]

Yes. Same as the sprocket.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Can we get a pic of the transaxle? I'm curious about it...

 

[Bluethunder3320]

nevermind, its not a transaxle, i got my terms mixed up. i meant diff.

 

[r97]

you may wan't too sell the diff and get a live axle!

 

[Bluethunder3320]

@r97 thats what i think im going to do, so i can get a keyway for a disk brake too, how do those work? i mean installing a disk brake, i know the caliper needs to be mounted, but does there need to be a special keyway too?

OH AND BAD NEWS.

the pit bike died today, total motor seperation. i got a vid coming in about an hour.

 

[r97]

stupid chines motor? axle with key way, key, hub (either bolts to rotor, or is welded), rotor, brake pads, caliper, hydraulic lines(no bubbles! bled properly!) or cable/rod (depending on types of brakes), master cylinder (hydro only), brake rod or cable, foot pedal.

p.s. i can take pics of mine if you want

 

[Bluethunder3320]

yeah please, lol, brain hurts from homework

i think im going to rack up cash and from christmas and my birthday to get hydraulic. and the best of the best on some other parts... i might need new tires (kinda a gash in the old ones) so... work in progress. at least the frame is there.

and yup chinese motor... it has about 4 hours run since last rebuild.

so this is whats going on:

43cc out of pit bike. 6hp tecumseh in.

6hp tecumseh out of kart and 8hp briggs in

 

[r97]

good plan. don't spend too much, you'l have another project half way through the first!

 

[Bluethunder3320]

yeah so true.

the kart is sorta designed for kids so i need to higher the steering colum so my legs fit the pedals, but the pedals are missing, lol.

well good news a guy at my welding class said he might be able to get the broken tap out of my sleeping 8hp briggs/ carcass

so the vid is uploading 1 sec

 

[r97]

briggs/carcass, lol

 

[Bluethunder3320]

yeah its just a block with nothing on it at all.

 

[r97]

i bet you were looking at it as raw aluminum for a new pullie, lol

[redsox985]

I believe you should change your little info bit under your name from "red line for a good time" to "red line til the motor splits".

 

[Bluethunder3320]

haha yea!! so true!!

well death brings new creation, its going to be even better with the 6hp tecumseh.

so, this bike is on its 4th motor.

500 watt motor from 2006-2009
chainsaw from 2009-2010
43cc from june 2010 to november 2010
tecumseh from 2010-2011????????????????

 

[Bluethunder3320]

dam its too long.......lol

 

[migel101]

the new foot pegs im making are electrical wire housing tube stuff i garbage picked.

the project was actually working 100% until the end of summer.

i hit a bump and the motor fell out.

may be 2 weeks.

heres a little vid of what it was like

now thats a BRILLIANT idea, tie a scooter to a pit bike and have someone pull you at the same time looking backwards at you - not were their going - and reving it!
nice bike:arf:

 

[Bluethunder3320]

most certainly a great idea, lol. with flipflops too.

havent fallen and drawn blood, yet.

just worked on the tecumseh thats going in this bike, its looking 40 years younger!!

sorry for the sideways pic, just turn your head to the left a bit.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

might be able to start the motor tomorrow!!
