Golf Kart + Sled engine

that fan is going to eat you....

i think i would have extended the frame and cut bigger wheel wells in it, then maybe put a slightly larger tire on it to make it look right in the well

Just convert it to RHD and all will be OK. as opposed to the current fan intake getting clogged by your *** problem.

I have already extended the axle back 3 inches, any further and i wont have a safe place for a gas tank.

Kenny, RHD? Right hand drive? Not gonna happen, the fan should be fine, my *** will only cover half at most, and i may make a guard over it so it has some airspace to suck from.

Just about finished the motor mounts, just gotta make a few braces and welds.

Cap'n, that rusty drill bit is ghetto fabulous. Does it actually work?

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Haha, it sure does. This guy near me who owns an "antique" (junk) shop, had a huge bucket of rusty 1/2 drill bits, and all of them were new minus the rust. He was throwing them away so i grabbed 10 or so. They are cheap and dull fairly easy, but they were free.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Hand sharpening drill bits isn't hard as soon as you understand it.

 

[SpyGuy]

. o O (Thre's almost as much rust on that single drill bit as there is on the entire kart .....)

How's this thing coming?

I was just lookin at harley carts and an idea came to me.....Mine is currently sitting in the backyard with a pos 340 kawi engine......i realized the sled project i have will never be finished, SO Harley cart+ Polaris 340 fresh rebuild port cleanup dual flatslide carbs AND electric start....PERFECT. SOMEDAY!

ha ha you picked a car with poor aftermarket so good luck finding a lift kit. and as you said with the gearing being so low your not gonna go to fast. i know a guy doin this with a 89 ezgo and it looks like gonna be a cool ride. he asked us to upgrade the the diff with some high speed gears. ohh and this is our70's harley davidson.

 

[The_Machine]

looks like a single direction drywall drill with no analog drill speed control

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Crazycart, that sounds like it would be insane. Those lil 340s can go pretty well, it would be great to find some aftermarket diff parts to get a little more speed. I dont think there are any for these though.

I havent done mouch. I've been letting it sit, because i really dont like the engine mounting. Its sticking too far through the fiberglass. Im thinking about re-doing the swingarm with a solid axle. Then i can mount the engine silod under the seat and not have to worry. But if i go thatfar i might as well find a liquid cooled quad engine w/ reverse... I just dont know.


Dsm, even if they sold lift kits, i promise i wouldnt buy one. Im really cheap, and i hate buying kits.

 

[DsmEclipse]

yeah theyy get a little expensive
