Greeting from Romania !

[dragos28]

Salutari din California.
Din ce parte din Ro esti?

Ok, thats enough Romanian, i left when i was 5 years old so my romanian sucks!
I'd suggest that you look into one of those cheap chinese atvs or scooters, those are EVERYWHERE in Ro & i'm sure you can find a wrecked one for cheap.. that would be a good engine & transmission base..

Thank you very much.
@firemanjim : The part with the engine i understood.
You mean something like that ? http://postimg.org/image/h673gnsnx/
About the brake i'm still documenting.
@dragos28 : Salutare Dragos ,Mehedinti.cat despre tine ?

 

[firemanjim]

No, put the plate the other way . Long ways ,across the bar behind the axle and the one behind the seat. Ill post a link or pick of the disc hub....
Other than that, its coming along.... As dragos suggested,look for a chinese scooter/atv... they are cheap everywhere. Look for a wrecked or "wont start" types that have promise.... I bought a complete running 125cc dirtbike for $80..... just needed a back tire+tube....

 

[Cojman]

Yes man ,I know i can find them everywhere ,now i don't have any money ,I'm just gathering information.
Thank you that you're [ '' occupying '' (did i say it correct ?)] spare time
And .. if i don't spare your free time please paint that plate on the picture because i don't understand where man .. http://postimg.org/image/w0sj8z6v7/

Pic 1 shows the layout of the engine mounting plate for a honda/clone. notice it runs from front to back, not side to side. note that if you use an engine from a scooter, motorbike, etc, you won't use a plate but, the mount will be in the same basic position & layout...

Pic 2 shows the brake setup on my kart. the disc is literally a round piece of steel bolted to a brake disc hub. There are different types & different sizes to suit many different axle & disc combinations

Hello everyone [at me is midday]
Thank you fabroman ,now i understood ,but .. i can't put the seat and the engine something like this ?The engine right behind the seat ,[the seat in the middle ,and the engine on the middle of the axe] http://postimg.org/image/632gg9k27/

Admittedly I haven't been following this from the start so if I'm understanding this wrong please correct me Fabroman, but I don't see anything stopping you from putting everything in the middle.

Generally though, if you mount the engine off to the side you can make the go kart shorter by putting the engine next to the seat slightly

Welcome, I like what your doing and you are at the right place for all the help you need. The guys on here are great at it.

 

[Cojman]

Thanks man.
Look ,i want to make something like this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZMdUYN-8z0
With the seat in the middle and the engine behind it ,and of course ,a smaller engine

For Romania, I think you would have MUCH more fun with an off road style go kart.

 

[Cojman]

I think that you know that most of the roads here are made from dirt [but there are also other roads that pass through the towns or the national roads where you can drive a kart.I preffer just the racing karts .
