There is a point of too much power though , watch this vid ,, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZWJzZlH8Bs
that kart only makes usable power at the top end , a smaller engine of about 400cc would be more usable for everyday off road fun , your not reving it out to get it moving , your not spinning all the time , in a all out drag race sure the vid kart would win but he wouldn`t enjoy that kart climbing hills and trails , I myself if I had the money for a engine would use a single 400 to 500cc 4 stroke , just my opinion , Bill

Mabye your kind of fun is going slow and his kind of fun is going as fast as a bat outta hell. I personally would love to have that kart. Climbing hills and trails would be hella fun because the chances of you getting stuck are slim.

Your right on the Fun factor , I myself love speed too , but my kart build I gotta compromise as we do alot of back woods trails the other kart would be to wide for and alot of mountain logging road exploring ,, thats why I said my preference for my kart would be a big single cylinder torque monster for my purposes , I think his 433cc engine will be just right for his kart ,:thumbsup: ,, Bill

I couldn't see the speedometer how fast were you going??? Very nice build I can't wait to see how this thing progresses into a beast...

Thats not my kart , its a vid of a kart that would be in my use over powered if I had it , the owner of that kart said he does about 70 MPH in that field and can top out around 100 MPH , we were talking about Yellowbeards kart with his 433cc engine , he was thinking it would be overpowered , :cheers2:

yamaha 433cc twin 2 stroke, you don't want to go any bigger, the way this motor runs, I'm thinking this cart has to much power and will be dangerous. I don't think I will be able to keep the front end down.

When i was asking about what size to use i meant chain, i know my way around sled engines and i figured since my kart is small i'd look for a 295 or 340 fan. I doubt a 433 will be too much power for your kart.
