What Do You Think????????

[Sam.s.94]

THIS IS MY FIRST KART.

PLEASE WRITE COMENTS ON WHAT YOU THINK/ ANY IMPROVMENTS THAT are needed not just to make it seem cooler lol

Thanks

That's a pretty bad *** machine! Improvements, more aggressive tires, suspension, and a bigger engine. (Motorcycle)

 

[Sam.s.94]

Do you mean 'bad ***' as in a good machine or a bad machine ?

 

[crazycart]

I mean it as in GOOD! It looks very sweet. What engines in it?

 

[Sam.s.94]

oh thanks, its got a honda gx..... (6.5hp).

Can these engines be tweeked for performance without spending huge money ?

 

[sayre315]

well with about $200 you can get that thing spinning alot more
all you need is a billet flyweel, billet rod and header (optinal) and take off the govner

 

[Sam.s.94]

ok thanks , whats the govner and what does it do and where will i find it ?

 

[Sam.s.94]

also if i wanted to paint this a different colour, would it be best to take it apart or work around the engine and wheels and the bits ?

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

If your gonna paint it, tear it down. if your asking questions like this, I would wait on dropping the governor, gotta tear the engine down.

 

[Sam.s.94]

ok thanks, ive got quads and crossers but this is my first go kart and only had it 1 week, so don't know a huge amount lol

Some expanded metal for body pannels would look really sharp and protect you off road, verry nice when its painted

 

[swives]

this is what the metal looks like, and is verry easy to work with.

 

[landy mad luke]

i got some of that its good stuff cart looks great by the way

 

[r_chez_08]

i like it! how fast does it go

 

[Sam.s.94]

it does about 30mph , also very good acceleration. and no suspension actually makes it very good fun

 

[r_chez_08]

sounds great fun!! well done

 

[r_chez_08]

would the expanded metal sheet work on the floor

 

[BradenM]

It would, however, I would suggest sheet metal as it also shields you from water, dirt and dust that may be thrown up, as well as rocks, e.t.c.
Also most likely cheaper.

we have a photo of the governor on our "Aussie kart" thread... its basically a nylon cog which has a little brake on it, which brakes more as you open up the throttle, i.e. governs revs whilst increasing mass flow.

but sheet metal is heavy!

but yeah probably better
