Here is where I bought my sprocket: http://www.gokartgalaxy.com/shifter_kart_&_quarter_midget_sprockets_for_3.htm

I emailed them and told them what I wanted and they set me up an order.

if you don't mind what was the price that you paid for the sprocket and carrier?

 

[EvoDre]

what do you mean start your motor off stator?

 

[Stephen115]

so your carb does not have a built in pump in it? i figured that it would, i might be wrong though!

IDK it might, someone else comment on this?

 

[EvoDre]

Nope, there would be no reason to run a fuel pump with gravity feed, hence nearly every motorcycle having the tank conveniently situated above the motor.

every motorcycle have the fuel tank above for a gravity feed yes, but there are motorcycles that still run fuel pumps!

around $65

No Problem

hey about your gravity feed fuel tank, it is a great idea but like i was saying, i though the carb have a built in fuel pump i was wrong. but the carb does create a vacuum that sucks the gas up so you shouldn't have to do a gravity feed. i am not doing a gravity feed in my go kart so i will let you know how it works out!

Man, as soon as I find a track around here that lets custom karts on I am 100% sure I'm making one of these with a cr500 engine that I know of.

A hyabusa 1400 would be cooler. LOL

 

[Stephen115]
