hi,
yes, i did build it myself. all i have to say is do it man. you'll love it. you know, a snowmobile engine has to pull a sled which is not light but when it has to pull a kart that dosen't weigh as much. WOW.

bcthompson

hi, that thing is sick. just wonderin what it takes to get that engine to run correctly in the warm weather for any kind of time.

well, it is air cooled so i just keep movin. no need to stay in one place at idle. but this engine has a pully driven fan on it so it never overheated.

I've always wanted a sled powered kart. how did you connect the secondary clutch to the frame?

could you post more pics of the clutch installation?

thanks

kzrider40

i will have to look around in my Kodak file. it was easy. just allot of measuring. if i find some pics I'll post them.

Looks like simple pillow blocks mounted solid to the frame. Maybe slotted mounting holes for chain/belt tension adjustment.

your 100% right indianrvrshiver,
heavy c channel bolted to the frame and pillow blocks to run the jackshaft. slotted mounting hole was a great guess for the adjustment.good eye.

badbrad

looks like fun to zoom around in,have a guess on how fast it will go?

na, not really. at the speeds we were going, we stayed pretty cool. if you would site and idled for a while, yes it get hot back their. man, too much fun to worry about the heat though.

Haha, 340? That's nothing. I have a friend who built a kart out of a Factory Yamaha SRX700 motor and some quad parts. It's nearly 10 feet long and goes well over 100 mph, we've only gotten it to 102 before we run out of straight paved surface to run it on. Oh, and it also runs Bender triple pipes and K&N filters.

Thats a cool little kart. I have a 440 yamaha motor and have wanted to do something like that for a while with it. To bad summer is almost over though. Looks like fun, good job!

PolarisINDY500
