Will this be worth it?

This will probably sound really dumb, but somtimes people put 50 gallon drums on the exhaust of there truck to sound louder. What if i put a paint can (like the metal cans of paint for a house) would it sound cooler or different?View attachment 144140

I used an old oil can it rusted after the first run. it didn’t give me anywhere close to the sound of a big tube exhaust with an rlv muffler on it.

Only big pipes sound like big pipes, fartcans are just annoying garbage... and when they are attached to small tube exhaust they sound even worse.

You're building for drag, so 14-18 of 1" ID header is all you need. It will be loud as hell and probably bark some flames, but it won't sound as much like what it is

Don’t do it, it’s stupid and a waste of time and material. Not to mention it will add weight and will slow you down.

I should do that with mine, take the muffler off, put a drum on, and hear that diesel bang! Alsoo not to mention, clog the air filter a lil and we rollin coal

Part of what gives my 208 set up such a bigger and unique sound is the fact it's multi stepped (1", 1⅛",2", custom tunable silencer with a 1⅛"core pipe and a 2¼ shell) and a bit longer than most. It doesn't sound much like a kart/lawn variety engine between that and all the other work in it.

Just like the Temu or Alibaba "fuel filter with a sleek design and no sound" for the one size of a gun's muzzle

I backed out the screw by the throttle so it’s revs higher. I remember someone explained how to do it but I don’t know who.

I bought two motors on Black Friday sale and just sold one to my friend for $130+I get a quart of oil. When I backed out the screw one of my friends said what are you doing and I explained to him then he said you should go do it to the other one but I said no I should put the screw in farther and he will never know. I’m so mean. He will be way slower than me

I plan on using a 10t clutch and 48t sprocket. Would this be any faster? It comes with a 10t driven gear so I would use my 48t sprocket. Also does anyone know what speed I would get with a stock predator 212 and this gearing? View attachment 143661

Hey buddy this is off topic, but would you happen to know what this part is called?

That looks like the cover that goes over the lovejoy connection on log splitters? Under that cover is a centrifugal clutch? Not 100% sure.

Its like a centrifugal clutch, but with a weird belt drive

Here's a thread about the same problem:

Mystery clutch

Has anyone seen a clutch like this before? Its off of an old funder wheels kart. Of course the follow up is where can i find another? Thanks

You should start a new thread for that, this ones about gas-powered power wheels

Sorry about that probably was a little bit confusing. Are you talking about the gray pipe in between the engine and the cover?

 

[thatkartbuilder]

That piece that bolts onto the engine may be a cover, or maybe not a centrifugal clutch, and possibly a love joy coupling, or any other kind

 

[thatkartbuilder]

Might just be a mount for the cover because you can see it also bolt on to the frame?

That’s exactly the one I have

 

[thatkartbuilder]

Really!?

 

[Drhajeon00]

Really!?

Yea I need a replacement for that part because it’s cracked

 

[Drhajeon00]

That’s exactly the one I have

Couldn’t find it but is there another setup I can do
