Well here it finally is.After almost 2 months and $600.00 later the drive cassette is 99% done.All that is left is mounting tabs.Drive sprocket,Rotor and...
I'll be switching to no e-mail for a while. I go in for hand surgery Wednesday morning thanks to some arthritis. That pretty much puts an end to any buggy...
If you have the money, use comet's 700 series torque converters. The 770, 780, and 790 series units are very low geared and have a high top end (low ratio is...
I should have the engine mount done this weekend. I'm actually making a "sub-frame" for the engine that will then mount to the kart frame. This will make for...
Hey everyboby just now got my swing arm completed and mounted and getting ready to completly figure out the whole clutch/jackshaft setup for my kart. First off...
That's cool if you're comfortable with it. I think you have the gear ratio about right for that engine and buggy size. Good luck, and let us know how it works...
Before I place some kart items on Ebay, I figured I'd see if anyone needs any of them: p.s. I sold the Enginetics brake kit already 22X11X8 Carlisle tires/rims...
I've actually decided to try and use the motorcycle engine. Having a gear shifter would be no problem and the engine is rated at 25hp. With my jackshaft the...
I'm hoping to get 750. My buy it now would be for 799. Most 16hp v- twins are going for around 600-700 right now (very few on ebay), but they usually have no...
Eldon is right-- the trail machines need a lower-revving high torque motor-- while sand rails and speed come from a motorcycle engine or equivalent. If anyone...
Camber angle control. With a single swing arm the camber angle changes as a function of travel. The ratio of change depends on the arm length. Usually you get...
I think I'd go for the 18 HP B&S engine. It has much more torque than a CM250, and then you don't need a gear shifter. The 16 HP Briggs motors are about 500 cc...
Hello Guys, I've a question about the front suspension: In your opinion, what's the advantage and disadvantage of using upper and lower A arm, or using just...
Eldon, I'm not sure yet. I'm either going to try and use a Honda CM250 motorcycle engine that I already have or save up and get around an 18hp Briggs (what...

Glad I could help Kasey. I hope the kart lives up to what I have said about it. While I have never seen the kart in person, I have followed the build story for...
