testing the new go kart (540 snowmobile engine)
Posted on Jun 18, 2009 under snowmobile travel |
this is the Go Kart i built in welding class my junior year. still working on it but this is what i got done so far. built everything by hand only used a table saw, hand saw, plasma cutter, acetylene torch, and a hand grinder. the type of welder i used was a miler mig welder. it took me a long time because it was broke and it kept bird nesting on me. so i used the other miller and it worked perfect yes i do know how to change and set up the welder.
I put a Yamaha 540 snowmobile motor in it still got to get the jetting right in it.
yes i do know the tires look small but i already got $450 in it already plus the motor but i got that for free (thanks uncle jay)
i didn’t have any thing to put angles on so i made it all by hand that is the front A-arms. and im not done with the roll cage and pedals and a little electrical also got to fix the exhaust leak. the go kart has 11 inches of travel in the front and 10 1/2 in the rear. but it sags down wen you get in and when you lift it up because the motor weights 85+ and i tried to keep the suspension soft but not to soft so that it worked unlike most karts it has suspension but is still extremely bumpy. mine you can see the suspension work i rolled it down a hill and it just goes up and down workin so sweet!!!
please rate and comment but no hatters. i have some serious time in this thing and i really don’t want people saying its a piece.
