@MarvinSanti oh cool i wanted to make one but i dont know how much hp to put on it

hey i have a dingo frame that came with a briggs 5hp and i have a gx390 engine that i want to put on it. Do you know if i would have to modify the mount on the frame in order to fit the engine and also would it work if i just bought a 1 inch diamater torque converter piece for the drive shaft and used the exsisting other pulley

Im also wondering where you got the brakes from and how difficult it is to install. my only problem is i dont have a welder so i dont want to get into a project that i wont be able to finish because of havinf to weld brakets and such

@LUMLEY92 To me it was pretty straight forward to swap the factory 5hp briggs for the much bigger GX390. The motor on my kart came from a pressure washer, what I did was to cut the steel plate where the GX was mounted in the washer and welded it to the Dingo's frame. As for the brakes, the best replacement is a 150cc scooter's front calliper, you'll need a welder though or at least I cant figure any other way you could insatall it using just bolts and nuts.

@LUMLEY92 Speaking about the torque converter, considering the power and specially the torque output of the GX390 I would strongly suggest you use at least a 40 series Torque Converter from Comet, you can find complete setups on ebay starting at around $100. Anything less than that will simply not be able to withstand the abuse.
