question about axle

[kenworth85]

just found new project at garage sale got it cheap enough I think?
it is a murray. engine is junk sprockets are junk jackshaft is junk steering shaft has been welded 1 to many times but steering linkage and tires are good frame is not rusted or broke seat is good . I was wondering if I could turn the axle around for a sprocket on left side would that cause any problems. it also had tc trashhad to cut all the sprockets and rotors of with torch.

I don't see why not, as long as you make certain to line everything up and that the axle is properly keyed where you want to relocate the sprocket.

Go karts are very modular and can be set up to the owner's desires.

the only problem I'm having is placing the brake rotor where I don't have to replace all the linkage it was originaly on the right side. I have the ground clearance have you ever heard of putting them under the engine

I wish I could send pics but don't know how and probably too old and hard headed to learn I have been reading everyones input for a couple of weeks and have learned a lot. now seems like I'm addicted to looking for projects and trying knew things for me and my grandson to do together. everyone seems helpful and very dedicated about helping with go karts. I'm getting ready to retire and am looking forward to more go kart builds for other kids. kids are our future

You gotta learn to post pics. It is not that hard and with out seeing what you got it is hard to answer and questions.

 

[kenworth85]

I'm sorry the brake rotor was on the left side originally

brake problems

here are pictures of brakes it seems as if there is no adj. on caliper please let me know if they cam through. I guess I can look for myself
I am ordering parts from go power sports did I read somewhere that there is a discount available

Nice pics!
In your first pic the bolt sticking out the side of the caliper is the adjuster.
Also the last pic is of the brake rod. I think it can be adjusted there as well.

 

[kenworth85]

thanks didn't know if I would ever figure out the pics thing
somehow the lever on the caliper cammed over and wouldn't adjust unhooked everything pushed lever to the rear and it started working

There's a 10% discount for forum members. The code is DIYGK I think. Or do you also add the dot com?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
