redoing her

[pizza1424]

well after many trips to my cousins house the kart took a beating . so its time to rebuild her
so far a had already stretched it 6 inches ,but with the new motor set up and seat .

i need 6 more so shes getting stretched 1foot total over stock .
So after a few hours with the grinder got rid of my old getto posi traction set up going with a live axle set up .

just got my tav2 disk breaks ,hubs with hopefully get to the steel shop on Saturday to get some tubing

Looks like its going to need some more work. Why are you extending the frame?

 

[pizza1424]

the way the motor sits with the tav2 on it it would hit the back of the seat and i was trying to move the seat back any way cause i get a lil cramped not fun a 6'3" on a cart made for a 8 year old

we an my brother wanna cut and extend ours too!!! just like you did before seat after steering stem/loop mount

A great way to extend frames is to find some pipe that will fit snugly inside the main frame rails, and use those as "connectors" in between the frame rails and the pieces you are using to extend it. It adds strength if your not a confident welder, and makes for a perfectly straight frame, and no need to clamp.

Where did you get your electric start kit?

 

[pizza1424]

found it on ebay

 

[pizza1424]

search ebay for this START KIT FITS HONDA 5.5 HP & 6.5 HP BRAND

 

[jr dragster T]

Cool, I'm really thinking about buying one of those electric start kits for my kart as my kart is near impossible to pull the cord and goose the throttle at the same time. How fast does it turn the motor over?

 

[pizza1424]

it does a good job i have a to hit the gas a lil to get into fire the first time after that its good not sure how moded you are as far as compression
