Ummmmmmm.....that would pretty much cover every running kart......

Are you asking about chainless karts??????

 

[dowdenjam]

No mine will have a chain and im stuck on ideas

 

[ML-TOYS]

Ok this is like asking where a circle begins and ends.

 

[dowdenjam]

Well have you got any ideas?

 

[ML-TOYS]

You need to be more specific with your question

These 2 are geared.... The red one is geared for 4.5:1 and the pink one is geared at 6:1.......
You mean where you change your gears via a shifter, don't you?..... Use the search feature..... You WILL find at least one build using a 4 speed...... (mine).....
And don't be rude to some one who was trying to help you. It's not HIS fault YOUR question is so vague.....

 

[dowdenjam]

I didnt mean it in a rude way

Is the kart built ? Do you have pics of your engine ? Is your engine mounted ?
What kind of engine ? What are you shifting ? (Gears or just reverse ?)
Any pics at all ?

The shifter and clutch set up

Here's a link to Rickracer's shifterkart build thread: http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=4742
It has some good pics and info showing how he built/installed clutch and shifter linkage on his kart.

Its a 1997 suzuki bandit 600 no im just trying to get a idea of what ineed to do ,I have a frame and a engine and the rest of the bike but just a bit stuck for ideas.

And race kart set up won't help you then....... That engine goes next to the driver. For shifting, look at my thread on the H3 resurrection.... You will need to fab up a shifter like that, for shifter on the right. Shifter on the left is just as easy.
The clutch goes on a foot operated pedal, like in a car. My throttle will be on the steering wheel. I prefer a finger throttle over a foot operated one, mostly so you don't put TOO much stress on the carb by stomping on the pedal. You know you're at WOT but are still pushing the pedal,trying to to get it all out..... With a finger throttle, I can actually feel the throttle stop,and won't try pulling on it anymore......

Ok thanks

 

[firemanjim]
