First Build! See how it goes...

Still waiting for the motor to get here... Also collecting supplies to attempt at building the swing arm myself. Also working on getting new tires and wheels and a rear axle. Gonna take some time but still working on it..

What is it? Says deleted did you get it?

The same exact yerf dog kart COMPLETE for only $50!! The engine has a broken camshaft but I don't mind since I have the motorcycle engine! Having to buy all the rear components was going to cost hundreds and I got the complete kart for $50! I was so stoked!!!

Does anyone know if it's possible to repair a Tecumseh 6.5 HP model OH195EP-71805B camshaft? If so where can purchase one and see how to fix it? I want to use this engine to get my gramps little kart going again if I can. Thanks

Engine is here!!

My engine arrived over the weekend!! Yay! Now some serious building can begin!!

Been thinking about how I'm going to do my shifter/clutch setup. Was looking at a wire shifting rig with a hand clutch on the lever.

Maybe use something like this?

I don't know.. Kinda lost right now with it lol.

A shifter can be a simple as two bit of tube & a few bolts that'll cost you a couple of dollars, it all depends on your imagination

 

[rcarteraz07]

Well, I just can seem to imagine it in my head lol.

Also, got a wiring diagram for my engine earlier thanks to someone at kzrider.. Now I just need to decipher it and see if I can get my engine going.

Oh, wait; your engine will be mounted on the swing arm won't it? In which case, forget my idea, that's for a rigid setup so, yes, you'll have to use a cable setup. Google search "morse cable"

You can still fab the actual shifter though.

Well sadly this build is being placed in hold. I lost my job last week so until I get another one I can't work on this one.

I am sorry to hear that. I hope you find another job soon.
