Gettin er ready for a pliance jump. Hip hip.

After I get a new embiggened sprocket in the mail, biggest on hand was 45t, I can mount the axle and send it.

Just a toy to slide around the parking lot this winter on lunch break.

Thanks! Good to hear from ya!

After getting shipped the wrong sprocket , one return later got the correct part.
Not much bigger will fit , currently 10t to 60t. Fresh #420 chain , ready to rip.
Got it sat on the ground.

No room for foot controls, so throttle and band brake levers will be on the steering wheel,
thinking butterfly type to keep it kart like.

So when’s the first test session? Your girlfriend or wife hast to spend a lot of time with her palm on her face.
If you should happen to need a crash test dummy let me know!

 

[jmaack]

I may steal your oil drain design.

 

[madprofessor]

I'll donate a blindfold to the first test driver. They hand them out at firing squads, after all, and who wants to see the end coming anyway?

Taking bets on how long the lawn chain will last? That's some crazy fun right there.
VIDEO PLEASE!!!

Mad steering angle, mario kart. 27mph @3600, and ungoverned. None of the front end
parts including little wonder leaf blower rims, snowblower tires, and homemade spindles + tie rods were ever intended for a go kart much less a lawn chair. But are gonna rip. Actually using legit throttle and brake cables, got the band brake set up. Grips good with light pressure.
Rear end finalized, Once the steering wheel is made and levers mounted, ill be ready to send.

Throttle lever from cub cadet snowblower steering trigger, check

Bicycle cable and made up linkage, check

Dirtbike brake lever and band brake, check (actually works!)

Super twitchy steering, check

Willing test subject, of course

Contact?

Not enough drift lubricant but I hope this suffices.

Going well after shearing a timing key, had to remove the motor, throw the tillotson
TCT in the trash, and installed a predator 224 carb.

My wife and I really enjoyed your video good job.

How many of those did you build? They just kept magically appearing from behind the snow bank! How cool! Seriously though that thing is cool and looks like it handles pretty well. What happened to the tillotson?

Thanks I appreciate it!

It's magic! Surprised me, remarkably stable given the wheelbase.

The "fuel injection" carb refused to idle stable and could not get it adjusted right/ had no power.
Cold weather? Partially my fault for not torquing the starter clutch to spec, it backfired while trying to get it
to idle and sheared the flywheel key. So now the clutch is fastened to 50 ft/lbs, and it runs great
with the traditional honda clone type carb.
