What else do i need

[racoutlaw]

I am looking at getting me a 400cc CCW engine that came out of a raider sled...I want to put this on a old murry buggy style go kart.If i get this motor and that is all it is is the motor nothing else what would i need to put the power the live axel and how would i go abut doing this..Could i just maybe get like a driver and driven clutch setup one for the motor and one right on the live axel or would i need to use some other way of putting the power to the ground....
Thanks for any and all help

Ok now surly someone has done this and can give a little insight as to what other parts would be needed other than the engine with a clutch/tor on it...
or maybe it is the moto selection if so would this one be better to use on it then say a 521cc liquid cooled Rotax???
:rolleyes3: :arf:

Most sled trans will mix n match, you need a jackshaft, see example.

engine
driver
belt
driven
jackshaft
sprocket
chain
sprocket
axle

Save the raider engine for a collector. Use the rotax, much, much better engine.

Well could not be home to bid on the rotax so i just went and done it the simple way.I this weekend went and got me the comit torqu-a-verter setup with new 1" axle,axle bearings,2 wheel hubs,2 back rims,new chain (went from #35 to #41),axle sprocket ( 54T if i remember right and the jack shaft has 10T) and last thing 4 new bearings for the front tires.... and just left the old 5hp B&S old racing motor converted back to run gas instead of alcohol in place..

So now i am through taking apart and putting back together now and cant even test run it as it has got dark outside....

well just thought i would let everyone know which way i went..
