what size bolts

@natto_4 3 года назад

I think he meant 5/16-24. Standard on the 212 predator motor. I opted for a torque converter over the centrifugal clutch. Supplied bolts were metric.

@tkeesler 3 года назад

This was just in time. I'm to the point of mounting the plate on a live axle and I would have never thought to put it all together then clamp then weld. Thank you for doing an awesome job explaining the easiest way to make sure everything lines up.

is the $100 harbor fright welder ok for welding a go kart? And could i convert the one wheel drive to a live axle?

@theartfuldodger1964 5 лет назад

My driveshaft has splines, will it work with the type of clutch you’re using or do I need to find a different clutch or shaft?

@pauls5745 5 лет назад

driveshaft? you mean rear axle? using a PTO driveshaft is a whole 'nother ball game

@camokids650 9 лет назад

like I know you can doit in lawn mowers where only one wheel is spinning freely while the other has the power when you lock the axle both wheels have the power I just notice that the do kart in the short kill was only the one tire with power

@KartFab 9 лет назад

This doesn't use a peerless transmission. It's only one wheel drive. The simplest and easiest and cheapest way to build a go kart.

@mergolf4 7 лет назад

I got a question. I have the exact same motor but I have it lifted and the engine runs good but it turns the clutch when in idol. Am I missing something so it won't want to run off on me or is that how it is?

@KartFab 7 лет назад

open up your users manual, and search how to adjust idle speed (black plastic screw on top of carb) also, make sure your throttle is returning completely to idle position, if not, some people install a little spring by drilling a hole in the throttle arm and connecting the spring between the throttle arm and pull cord cover.

@florentleider222 8 лет назад

Hi what intensity do you apply when wielding MIG ? Thanks for clear and thorough explanations.

@KartFab 8 лет назад

+Alexander Todt it is completely, 100% dependant on the welder itself so it will vary by welder and there is no clear answer other than 'read your users manual' and set your welder to the settings needed to weld 11 gauge steel.

@TheMatthewDMerrill 6 лет назад

Wouldn't it be better to have the bigger sprocket on the clutch and the smaller on on the axle so you get more speed and less torque?

@KartFab 6 лет назад

Sounds good in theory but that’s actually one of the ways you can burn up your clutch.

@pauls5745 5 лет назад

noooo! haha. best is a 10 or 11T gear on clutch, and a 52-60T axle sprocket. it'll still get you over 25mph with an 11T/52. if you don't care about accelerating quickly, 11T/44 gets you 32mph @3600 rpm, but you will burn the clutch up sooner.

@Dunken88 8 лет назад

+KartFab I have a question. Is there any way to make the both wheels spin instead of just one wheel? But doing in the same way?

@KartFab 8 лет назад

Live axle is the only way, unless you make some sort of a jackshaft type of setup with two one wheel assemblies, but that is impractical, a live axle kit (solid axle) is the way to go to get both wheels spinning at the same rate.

@_loois 6 лет назад

the clutch looks identical to the one used in the video

@KartFab 6 лет назад

You didn’t give me the information I asked for, so I can’t tell you what’s wrong. If I had to guess it’s your gearing. If you have a clutch your tires should be no larger than 15” and the axle sprocket should be around 60t/and a 10t clutch, or a 72t axle and a 12t clutch
