Ok, so I've been talking about it.
And I did. Some of you remember the first thread I did on this thing. I think it's a few pages deep now and it's closed due to age. I was going to put it on a mini chopper frame but the more I fiddled with that frame the less I trust it. So I put it on an old Ken-Bar Streaker.
I noticed right off it was a runner so I put 18# springs in it. And got some good speed from it considering it's a big heavy yard kart with my big fat self on it. So it's moving a 30 series t/c 10t over 60t out to 18 inch golf cart wheels. 47mph on the GPS. My phone gave the same info.
I decided to have a little fun and throw a little money at it. I made mention of it in other threads.
So right now it's really late and I'm about to make for the bed as I gotta get up and go to work shortly but I had to pull myself away...I didn't want to stop messing with that thing.
Here is where I am with the thing right now. I'm slowly going back together with it. As I was comparing my new cam with my old cam I noticed that there was only .020 difference in lift between the two so...that raises a question. Did someone change the stock cam? From what I've read the stock cam had a plastic gear...mine didn't. So... .020 lift may not even be noticeable in reality. I guess I'll know when I get it back together. I can't visually see a duration difference but that doesn't mean it's not there.
I'll get some more pics up tomorrow as I get it back together.
Here are the cams. The pic came out upside down...old cam closer to the engine
Where I am now.
