What's wrong with the stickers?

Lol yeahh but what would u do wit a project like this ?

Firstly (is that a word?) I would get it running and work out any kinks or funkiness.

Secondly (ok, I know that's a word) I would maybe work on doing some stuff to the engine.

I've never owned a commercially made kart but I can't imagine that you could do a whole lot with one without butchering it quite a bit. I'm sure you'll come up with stuff once you get it running. Maybe you won't like the way a particular part of it works and will want to change it. After I built my kart and got it working I started discovering little things here and there that I want to change on it.

Keep the stickers on! They gain lots of horsepower

For the Briggs 5 horse, remove the governor, get a stock length billet rod, billet flywheel, new rings, SS valves and high perf. springs + retainers, 4HP High comp head, ect.

Kibble, what place (or website) would i go to to get those performance parts?

Well, one website that some go to is www.affordablegokarts.com

I haven't bought anything from them myself, but I was looking into it.

Thanks ironman =] . but whats the sticker rule ?

 

[kibble]

I'm just gonna take a stab here, but I think that Ironman was implying that the sticker is, ahem, not very aesthetically pleasing, or as you said in your first post "gay".

 

[gocartkid]

That website sells Honda parts only...

You'll want these sites:

www.arcracing.com
http://www.geckermotorsports.com/shop/browse.asp?cat=520&path=511,520
http://www.compgoparts.com/

Also, that looks like a 5HP. The only 5.5HP's I know of are OHVs...

Oh, my bad, I guess I jumped the gun and for some reason ASSUMED that he was talking about clones. And there was a pic of a Briggs right there in front of my face! :arf:
