It is best to slot your bearing plates when using round axle bar when possible. I have seen sprocket hubs and brake hubs seize up on axles even with set...
dropping the axle wasn't my problem :) it was replacing axle bearing's that were inboard of the sprocket and brake hubs.. my soultion was to not weld them on...
Taz, I was working the new axle into the trailing arm and as I set each componenton on the axle I felt that using the tried and true bushings (pipe over the...
I took some pictures of that frame to day and will post them on friday when I get back as for how much I want for it I think that I have about 900 to 1000 in...
Bearings that press in need a press fit with only .001"-.002" interference. Pretty hard to do without some good machining. The other option is to slot the tube...
Randy, Guess I was mistaken in my understanding of your post about welding? I thought you meant welding the brake drum and drive sprocket to the axle to avoid...
I saw an "off road" go kart at a TSC store a few years ago and never seen one like it since. It was made like a Yerfdog in that the whole rear frame, engine...

been real boring around here lately and I have been thinking of buidling another kart or something, well I got this crazy ideal to make a custom crotchrocket...
GO FOR IT!!! and tell us about it. although i would go for asphalt drags. there are very sticky compounds for the tracks. it would be like a slingshot. just my...
Yes why not. There was an episode of scrapheap challenge/or junkyard wars where they built a bike engined rail tarmac dragster with gocart front wheels and...
Just another quick thought: using a twin where the torque pulses are "lumpier" you are more likely to break traction than with a four (of the same overall out ...
I would like to use an engine for my kart that has a gearbox (6 Speed) I do not have th room on the floor for a foot clutch so I figure I can use a hand clutch...
Ted, traditionally the angle can be anywhere from 5 to 9 degrees and sometimes more depending on the length of the arms and wether they are equal. Not to...
... You can use the clutch lever that comes with the bike engine and mount it on a gear change lever made from a piece of tubing.Make the tube so it pivots...
Ok I see. I figured it would be something like that. I am curious how much practice it takes to get use to shifting on the left. My clutch is hydraulic and I...
i shift mine on the right. you can use a morse push/pull cable for linkage. they are available through mc master-carr, any many other sources. most boats use...
... hose ... If your clutch is hydraulic the simplest way out is to operate it with a foot pedal using a master cylinder from a car.If you decide to go that...
i'm trying to get the axle off my go kart. I bent it last winter and i'm trying to get it ready to sell. One of my dads friends said that the can strighten...
if the axle was bent to the outside of the bearing, it probably will not come of no matter how hard you hit it. the axle now has a curve in it that the bearing...
I'll confer with Pete here. The axle may be seized to the inner bearing race and the bend is not helping matters any. Usually there is a space in the bottom of...
Are you planning to drag asphalt or ice/snow, either way yer not realy gonna have problems with breaking loose, theres a lot of track (tion) there. Sounds...
