12HP go kart build

Highly modified Yerf dog go kart from what year I have no idea. It was pretty beat up when I got it but with a little TLC and some crafty fabrication we brought it back from the brink. Engine is a 12hp tecumseh power sport motor from a snow blower (358cc). Drive train is Comet 40 driver and driven with a 6:1 sprocket ratio to the axle. Should do almost 45 but havn’t clocked it yet. Front end is off a newer Yerf dog spiderbox but the entire front and top frame were modified to accept the front clip. We named it Yerfenstein because of all the hatchet work we had to do to it. It’s Alive!!!

I just finished up with this homemade gokart with a harbor freight 2.5hp engine. We have a small backyard and my boys have never driven one before so I was trying to have it go around lawn mower speed. I’d say it probably goes 10mph when topped out. The governer is removed and it will wind out with me on it to over 4500 rpm (I have a tiny tach). I used a 12 tooth clutch and then took a spare jackshaft sprocket and welded it to a 40 tooth axle gear which is on the jackshaft. Then it goes to a 13 tooth sprocket and then to a 60 tooth. Frame is welded out of 1″ tubing from local hardware stores. It was very tricky because of the thin tubing and avoiding blowing through the metal with the welder. This engine is capable of much faster speed with different gearing however my family has a yard with some hills and the boys are cautious about putting the pedal to the metal so the low gearing works fine. It did take me several head scratches to figure out why the engine kept shutting down and then figured out it had a low oil cutoff that was triggered when I was cutting the corners. I actually built two karts in two weeks. First one was a 1.5 feet longer which was great for adults but even with the adjustable seat the boys were having a hard time pushing the gas all the way down.
