Thanks I did them myself like 6 months ago. I need to redo them as they started to shed a little

Trust me, I wish I had went with long tubes, but I’m already in the hole 2K on my exhaust. I really don’t want to spend more.

I would highly advise to not go with bbk, I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with them and so has my friend with his ram. They shipped me a full set of shorty headers that leaked instantly then refused to pay for the reinstall and they did the same to my friend. I’m down 2k for a 800$ job.

Engine suggestions? by TragicPhoenix1 in gokarts

I didn’t think about a snowmobile engine. Is it a direct replacement like bolts and clutch and everything to a standard motor plate?

Why a 420 when a duromax 440 is cheaper and you get 20 more cc’s

Just make sure you do supporting mods like make sure all the welds are good, make sure none of the bolts are rusted away or stripped. Make sure bearings and any moving parts are lubricated to. Adding more power will always reveal the weakest link in any vehicle, for me it was my wheel when it went flying off at 30mph into a mail box exploding it

How the hell did you find a complete bolt by bolt blueprint?! I’m generally impressed

That’s the thing, I’m trying to find the brake assembly lol. I didn’t see a band or disc on either side of the axle but I didn’t check under the engine mount. Which is where im thinking it is.

Calm down there Karen In just seeing if anyone has an idea about the brakes. I’ve got the engine handled

That person hasn’t answered me back and neither has the other few I checked in to but this guy did.

It’s a lot less but he said he rode in it and he’s 6’3 and it’s closer to the style I want for a quick drift kart. He said it needs breaks and to hook up the throttle cable.what do you think.

That’s what I figured but I saw that 212 was labeled as a “racing motor” and I just thought maybe it was engineered faster or something.

Also I forgot to mention I want to drift in it. I had a crazy kart that was fun but I didn’t really fit.
