pulley rotates more then the shaft = more torque
heres an example of what i mean

So you want to reverse it? Use output as input? That wont give you more torque, that will give you a smoking belt and a busted up tranny.

Yeah, you've got it the wrong way round. Running it in reverse will give you less torque.

Thats alright dude; what your doing is great and appreciated by the community. Every couple of weeks someone is asking for the solution to the Vert-Horiz problem; a cheap solution would be awesome.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks dude...
Imma go search google now

When you gear it down (more inputs than outputs) you get more torque but less speed, and vise versa. So with that tranny i wouldnt suggest gearing it for a higher speed than 10 or 15mph due to the fact that it will more than likely rip apart or strip the gears. Your best bet is to look for a peerless 700 series transmission, they have 5 speeds, and can be race prepped and will handle quite a bit of torque. Over at heymow people will get 50mph+ out of them using ungoverned 18hp v twins and some 20hp also.

thanks kaptain i'll see if i can hed to the junkyard tomorrow and look for another motor and a decent transmission.
BTW! the motor that i got from my brother was a 11hp briggs and guess what the oil ring split in half. heres a picture:

this seems to have some possibility

You know...I may have to test that! As my tractor ate its back belt and I only have a single speed axle.

Looks like a dumb idea, I personally hate belts, but 2 different belts to split...it may work but your belt life will be very low and it will take up a lot of room.
just look for a horizontal engine, i find em for free all the time, just look for tillers, edgers, or snowblowers.

i dont like the idea of belts either but the picture did give me an idea though. too bad chains cant twist like that.

How about running the tran at stock speed with the stock pulley and gearing up one of the outputs(big sprocket on tran little one on axle), weld the diff up.

i'm thinking about it... just takes alot of space and imma be using a live axle

That's kinda what the first picture of this thread... Looks like.
You know I have an atc lower end. With some sort of right angle gearbox on it...I'ma go look at that.

here was my first idea when i found the gearbox.

This would take a lot of the speed strain off of the gearbox wouldn't it?

maybe but this is just theory im going to be working on this over the next couple weeks. i think the gear ratio of the gear box is 7.25:1 or 1:7.25.. lol the shaft only spins once for every 7.25 rotations of the pulley.

yup 7.25 inputs to 1 output would be 7:1 (about), i personally dont think the gearbox will hold up for a go kart tho.

since i have no use for this one i have now it's missing a bushing and a sleeve i hit the gear with a hammer (since i was bored and not a scratch
