Hello everyone. I have registered to get some help in building a nice go cart with my students. I have a new Honda GX610 engine and I want to build our own kart frame to put it on, so my students can practice welding and brazing metal as well as reading a ruler. so I have joined this site to get some help selecting a drive line.
New OLD guy!

If you could be a little more detailed, that would help; what style/ type of kart are you thinking of? There's a great deal of difference between a track based race kart and an off road machine with a whole lot in between...

Likewise, there's a great deal of difference between in drivelines, depending on what you want it to do & how much you want to spend, from a $30 centrifugal clutch suited for a yard/street kart all the way up to a $150 torque converter which is best for offroad...Welcome to the forum

Just kartin' around....
The simplest you can go with is a Cent Cutch and a dead axle set up. Use a 6:1 -7:1 gear ratio and use 10-11" tall tires.
Welcome to the forum. What type of budget are we looking at? Where are you going to ride the kart? A one or two seater?
