I just bought 2 and a half go karts?

[Budget GoKart]

Uuh well i spent 100$ i can get that much back easy but ya know gotta analize my purchase. A tecumseh flathead with clutch a tecumseh 5-6 hp and i think a clone engine of sorts, a live axel go kart and a one wheel peel kart. And well half a go kart? I already have plans for the the half and the others aswell.
Too dark for me to take pictures but here is the one they gave me.

why would someone cut a gokart in half? and what a great deal

From what I can see in the pic, that clone engine looks to be a GC160/GC190 or a clone of them. Overhead cam, timing belt.

Not bad engines, but not ideal for a kart.

That middle kart's seat hoop is interesting..........Kinda reminds me of a 60s Bug kart, but IDK.


That poor ka!(I omitted the rt since it's only half a kart

Three wheeler

Also the front rim looks like one of those rupp wheels but it has a busted tire

thanks

the red'ish one looks promising to me..
the black'ish middle one seems to be a rather dull candidate..
and well the right pointfive of a kart is ...uhm ....
let's say you have some more front wheels.. that's not bad

I do quite like that first frame.

Search the local classifieds for a drift trike... I bet you find the other half scabbed to a bike frame!

 

[Budget GoKart]

The first frame is the best frame but the black on has the best tie rods and steering wheel so black on is parts. Also im keeping it for a build or two my mom dreamed up.

 

[itsid]

two?
so you're cutting it in half then?

JT hit it right on the head, that's a Honda GC engine. They are set up for pressure washers and things that don't have to be operated remotely. I've spent hours looking, and it doesn't appear that they make a remote operation throttle. So if you're going to put one on a kart, you'll have to make a throttle cable housing bracket, and attach the cable to the throttle lever. Then it's the same as on a predator, remove the friction washer, and loosen the bolt up enough for the throttle to return on it's own. But they're smooth little engines, though they do lack power (they're only 5hp for the 160 and I think 6 for the 190).

 

[Budget GoKart]

The gc and one of the clones are being parted there is i think a 3hp ohv clone of sorts its like a 212 but smaller i made a death pipe for it the exhaust fits a 212. Also the tecumseh flathead i though was seized was just so dirty it wouldnt move yay. And i made 55$ by selling an exhaust and clutch.

 

[JTSpeedDemon]

That pipe is just ASKING to hydrolock the engine!!

Especially considering you leave your projects uncovered out in the rain.....

Lol. That pipe isnt staying on a brand new engine also im getting a cork for it and its going on a rat rod project probabaly one of the two and a half karts or yerfdog 1203

 

[itsid]

That pipe is also asking to mount a trip wire rather exactly 3.3 ft away from it
so you can stab your skull properly..
don't forget to file the edges sharp so you can punch right through first try

That pipe should only go to the bin IYAM..

'sid

PS Trev, am I misremembering you having a lil' brother?
if not.. have you ever had him run around .. near the kart perhaps?
would you mind reconsidering the 'design' choice there?

 

[Budget GoKart]

Ok sid yes its more or less kinda a joke but it will be kept put away until i put it on my yerf dog

 

[itsid]

yerf dog with cage I hope.. and cage tube close to pipe I hope..
otherwise I'll stick with:
Rather be uncool than stabbed in the face by some construction piping..

'sid

 

[Budget GoKart]

Aww but thats the fun part sid'
No but seriously that pipe is only because my grandpa cant butt weld so he had to overlap it and that was all we had

Also can anyone identify what hp briggs intek this is it has a 1 inch shaft and is styled like a 1150 series

 

[JTSpeedDemon]

Codes, codes, CODES, Trevor!! :toetap05:

You should know this! I can only really help you identify a Briggs if I have codes!
At any rate, it's a big block that should go like stink!

 

[Budget GoKart]

Is it a big block it looks close to the size of a clone is that right?

 

[JTSpeedDemon]

I don't know. Looking at it again, it does look like a small block. You were the one who said it looks like a big block!
It looks like an LCT snowblower engine, looking at it again, but it could be any clone really.

At any rate, that crankcase is FILTHY! Bore doesn't look great either.
