Wow, that should be really cool. You'll really need to beef up that old Action kart, but I'm sure you know that already.

 

[duramaxer]

yes sir got some 1 inch .120 wall to do all the re inforcement for that 185cc engine

 

[duramaxer]

i am gonna need some help with a jack shaft set up so if any one can give me some pointers on how to make one and how to gear it i only have the stock front and rear sprockets for the 1985 suzuki lt 185 i know its a 520 chain any help will help

 

[duramaxer]

help any one

 

[Blazkowiez]

That really is some heavy duty chain. Check suppliers till you can find sprockets for that pitch and then assemble the jack-shaft. You can find bearings or bearing hangers for whatever size shaft you pick out for the sprockets.

do you know of any one that makes 1 inch bore 11t ?

http://www.sprocketspecialists.com/ will be able to make whatever sprocket you need. a bit pricey though.

i used them for my last build. great service and got the sprocket in a timely manner.

how about put the body on the quad and sell that vintage kart? that way you get suspension too.

I like the idea. Should be cool. I saw a grave digger monster truck go kart, the guy wanted $5000 for it! It looked cool.

look what i found on craigslist lol dont have the money for this but im gonna try to buy this http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/mcy/2640690979.html

Yeah those things are cool. But to be honest if I bought one I would take the body of it hang it on the wall of my shop and just drive the kart without the body.

I'm going to take a WAG here and say there's no way in HE// that Bigfoot kart is worth half of what they're asking. It's probably a basic kart underneath with a body on it. I could very well be wrong though.

IIRC, 520 is fully compatible with #50 industrial chain hardware.
