    If you could attach some blades underneath it, it would double as a truly badass lawnmower as well! A very nice piece of engineering and it looks like a great deal of fun!

    just saw your vid, nice build--- just finished mine , not tested yet , all aluminum chassis ( I'm a welder by trade) with a 2004 kawasaki 250 ninja motor.. wish I had a place to test and/or drive like you have , that is a great plus

  • @jimciancio9005
    @jimciancio9005 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome build man! Just curious if you had to jet your carbs for running open header like that? Just got finished converting a old CB500 4cyl to straight pipe exhaust and it had a weak boggy pedal, went up 10# sizes on the mains from #100 to a #110 and it made a whole world of a difference in every aspect! Just curious what you did on yours?? It sounds pretty damn healthy, yours I mean, that's why I'm asking ya if you had to make any changes to your carbs without any air box/filters and open exhaust. Otherwise absolutely sweet ride my man, I'm building a shifter golf cart actually.

  • @olds97lss
    @olds97lss 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Bet your neighbors love the lack of mufflers... Nice work though. After getting mufflers, perhaps a heat shield on the engine so you don't cook your arm.

  • @t54760
    @t54760 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why like a 36 inch wheelbase on a chassis / engine that can go 70 mph? If to go around trees on the grass with street tires a 5hp b&s can do that about as fast. To go fast on the street it looks like with the short wheelbase it would be twitchy and lower the overall handling speed. To be clear I don't know. So just asking to understand. Thanks.

    • @bignickthegreat

    Nice "build"..... but, you need "more sprocket"... the ratio is too high, revving.. but no speed.... unless, you're after the torque factor, but on a light weight Kart like that, the engine can definitely handle a lot more speed gearing, and still have lots of "grunt". Is that engine from the "old" Honda 305 Super Hawk of the late 1960s / early 1970s ??
