I plan on building a go kart from scratch using a 16 Hp engine. Is it possible to make the Go-kart manual transmission (Stick)? If it is possible i would love to know how. What parts EXT….
thanks
right im a big lad 6,3 and i weigh about 15.5 stone what material should i build my go kart out of? piping or tubing and what material without going overboard on the cost i don’t want the heaviest frame in the world but i want to be able to trust my life on it at 80+kph
and what hp engine would i need! i want this thing to go at least 60mph or over 80kph! probably never going to go that fast but its what i want! also i want quick acceleration as ill probably run out of runway fairly quick!
any ideas?
btw i live in ireland so its no good pointing me to engine sellers that are based in the usa i just want to know the power required to make this thing shift its arse in gear!
I have a tractor that just blew up the transaxle so now I have a 15.5 hp engine that runs great and nothing to do with it. How big and fast of a go-kart could I could with that?
Im building a go kart, and i have a working 8 hp engine but i also have a trans-axle form a riding mower that was a vert shaft, id like to use this trans-axle for shifting and reverse just to trick it out, is there a way to make this work?
This is part 3.5 of my “go-kart build” for the last couple weeks i wanted a little quad, since i already had a go-kart why not make the homemade go-kart into a quad? this will work out fine, i now will have a new trail Quad to rip around on and go mudding with! The Quad has a 6.5hp PowerFist engine.
I’m going to build a go kart w/ a 6.5 hp 4 stroke engine, I want to use a centrifugal clutch becuase I’ve heard it’s easiest. Does the number of teeth on the sprokets have any thing to do w/? Don’t need a lot of speed but I wan’t to be able to climb hills. Would a torque converter be a good idea?
