thats just sayin if you wanted those monsters.

heres a few new pictures of the ride drove it around today man it was a blast love it.had my GPS on with me and got up to 25mph. not bad i guess.

 

[2or3wheels]

how did you hook up the duelies? looks like it gets super traction, no wheel spin for you.

 

[ironman]

yea its not to bad, but had to change it all because the brake side used up to much room and could not put both wheels on but kept both wheels on the sprocket side.Will put some more pics up after i get it all painted up for my sonand get the rest done on it.

how did you link up your throttle on to your engine? i have the same engine, and the way i have mine hooked up theres a little bit of play so it wont always go full throttle. i have to reach back and play with it to to go all the way.

i used the cable that comes of a rol-tilter ,and bought a few cable hold ends{1.06 each} cut the cable to the length that i needed and hook it together using a slip pin hole bolt{2.99}.Than i had to adjust it were it would stay runing. Now it starts right up no problem have to pull of spark plug cable to turn off. Hookng up a kill swicth this week.goes 25 mph pedal all the way down

i think you're going to hate those tires... they look like hand truck tires.. which equals FAST wear.

 

[ironman]

yea i know o cheap o's going to buy some nice fater ones when i find some.

 

[ironman]

woundering what should i do to incresae my speed,go with a bigger wheel,or change the spocket or would any thing help out a 5hp motor. {i guess i could lose about 15 pounds}

slicks ftw. but their just that on anything other than dry asphalt. slick. LOL

i got my $50 engine from a craftsmen tiller, it was from i think the 60s because it was a really old model. ill tell you what though i removed the gov on it and it flew! felt like 35 easily. it burned up the clutch the next day though LOL.

 

[ironman]

ok got new set of wheels for the rear went up to a 5 inch wheel with a pair of slicks gain 1 mph more speed

just a few more pic little dark but rides so better

 

[ironman]

also had time to work on the first kart i built change a few things to it and added a few. different wheels. added a different headder,and change the throttle hook up on it. cut the steering off and change all of it now it's just a one seater.

butchered the floor pan going to change it to a diamond plated one.
