@Hjerte_Verke 6 месяцев назад

The original go karts were designed for adult racing and they were cramped, small, nimble and light and the standard riding position was your knees in your chest. The go kart was deemed a toy much later in their life cycle when they were sold in the Sears catalogs with a "detuned" or pedestrian 4 stroke engine. The only thing kid-like on this project is the body.

Gotta admit I’m a bit envious of you. Turning potential trash into treasures. Your mechanical knowledge shows me who to go see when the crap hits the fan. 😃 I’ve always like making stuff but wasn’t able to for various reasons. Combining your skill set with a CNC plasma cutter, 3D printer, and other automated machines, would have viewers wondering what is he going to create next?

When you were checking the seat position it gave me flashbacks to my 8 year old self. I was doing exactly that on a biily cart I was making, but I toppled sidways off the workbench and landed 4 feet down resulting in a compound fracture of my left collarbone, and a 7 inch gash in my head!!!

That engine came off of a generator. You can tell because of the unknown black box - you’re correct it’s a charcoal canister. Epa rules require them on generators due to the long run times that they see.

In my experience, generator motors always have a tapered shaft. I was curious and I googled around and the only hits are for a wood chipper and a log splitter

I love Sunday mornings with Mustie. A couple of times, I found myself telling you to do this or that, forgetting that I'm not there!! One of the things was to leave the motor mount plate long, since it looked to be 5" off the card's floor (the height needed to stuff your butt in the seat). :)

@alan6832 6 месяцев назад

I think I would have cut the fiberglass to fit the frame, rather than cut the frame to fit the fiberglass, except perhaps for lowering the engine mount, but I don't see a problem with having the body high in back to clear the engine, not cutting out the center rear deck support and screwing in other, wood or metal, structural supports for the rear deck to each side of the engine. I would not have narrowed the rear frame and am concerned that the narrower axle bearings might bend the axle, especially with an adult. An adult also has more use for a full width frame.

As a small advice. You can use bicycle tubeless sealant To fix those dry-rot leaks on the tires. I fixd my kids atv wheels with that like 6months ago and its holding air perfectly. It doesnt make as much mess as heavier stuff for cars etc
