Gx390 first gocart build

[landeeno]

Hi this is my first time building a gocart and I decided to go with a gx390 honda and was wondering what cyntrifical clutch/torque converter I would need to purchase to make this build work
I also do not know how to hook up the throttle to the pedals if anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

You’re going to want a 40 series. Go to the GoKart Supply website and look them up for instructions on how they should be installed. No need to start a separate thread for every question, in fact it is frowned upon by the moderators.

To connect the pedals to the throttle you need to purchase a throttle cable. Measure the distance between the pedals and the carburetor on your engine. Do not measure directly, but keep in mind the routing that the cable will take between the two points. Cables are available in many different lengths so you should be able to find one that fits your needs. Also there are a couple of different cable ends that work with different types of carburetors. Take a fee minutes and study the connection point of the throttle to match the cable end.

Very difficult to beat the GoPowerSports 40 seris TAV. It's not cheap, but performs very well. Just an FYI, most all TAV's come from the factory under lubed. You want to get that dry graphite in there.
