V shaft engines, I want reverse

V shaft engines, I want reverse

nearly most V shaft engines for a good deal say not for a rider.

Where the H shaft ones have no such warning on them and most any cheap one will make a kart fly.

Anyone know why?

A 6hp engine is a 6hp engine ehy??? H or V shaft???

I wanna keep the 2 speed trans with reverse, it started out as a racing mower but the original 5hp engine has died [keeps shearing flywheel keys and can't even get it started], though the little bit it was running was scary. And then it has sat around for a long while.

This time around Ill use a gokart clutch as that was the problem with the original design. And then rebuild it into more of a kart but the rear section will stay mower like, its a rear engine kind and very low to the ground as is. [ one of them tiny low riders from back in the day.]

Plus the rotation is wrong for a H shaft engine to use the current set up, the rear end would need flipped and then I lose reverse and the 2 forward speeds.

I want reverse bad, not gonna be racing it, just for fun stuff.

So can I ignore that not for rider warning???

And for those that see the old set up and think I was nuts, Ill be going to a 1:1 ratio for the engine to trans belt, I went a bit over board when it was first built, I don't need to do mach III
