CRANK UP THE SOUND!!! ok so here it is. A lot of have been waiting for it so here you go. The engine is probly building about 20hp now, but the torque is incredible. Go figure I dont even have 0 tied up in this kart yet! Cost breakdown: wheels / tires: at swapmeet frame: free/fabricated engine: free (junk lawn tractor) engine modifications: fuel cell: at swap meet odds and ends: ~ Swap meet parts are the way to go.
The kart is finished and i do a video (in 2 pts) of how i built it. NOTE: No one can comment anymore as i got tired of getting 5 comments a day of people telling me the welding is shit. Yes i no it is, i made this when i was like 14 and it was my first time welding. They look like shit but hold very very well. Ive had 100kg people on this with no troubles, no weld has broken. Im better at welding now. So yer if ur mad the comment feature is removed then blame the haters.
Decided to swap my little 5.5HP Honda engine for a 16HP vanguard twin cylinder Briggs and Stratton. All of this took basically a night and a day. Needs a better pull start, and a muffler of course… which will increase speed. Pretty good overall since it was sitting on a shelf for over a year.
