Go Karting 1

Thrashing the go karts. Filmed with a Sony 8mm camera in one hand.
thank you, we enjoy making the videos.
We use 4 karts primarily.
Three of which are coyote frames.
2 karts use 5.5hp briggs motors.
2 karts use 6.5 honda clone motors.
The clone motors are way better. You can get them for about $160 at harbor freight.
engine mods vary and include:
open header, bigger air cleaner and enlarging the jet.
Fuel is premium (93 octane) gasoline.
My engine is a clone with the original exhaust gutted and the original air cleaner flipped over to clear the tire.
Ground clearance ranges from 1 inch to 2 inches.
As far as reliability, you really have to keep the air cleaners in good shape. we service everything, everytime we drive.
My stock air cleaner is cleaned with gas, then soaked in oil and then I put grease (very important) around all the edges so nothing slips by. The larger filters are oiled and wrapped with a prefilter. Dirt and dust are the enemy.
The clutches are 16 tooth basic noram racing clutches (heavy shoes with red springs). The tires are burris d21 or ss11 (super soft). Tire compound is critical for wet grass. We dont allow rain tires because we want to protect the grass. We reseed about 800 feet of the track every year (and then we kill it all in about an hour. The rear gears are 63 tooth. We buy the quality gears and best chains we can find. Everything gets worn out in 1 year and we have to replace all bearings, rear sprocket, chains and rebuild the clutches. The engines, with very good maintenance, will last for years. We all run the same gear ratio. I think its 1 : 3.94
Tire pressures are from 4 psi to 10 psi depending on track conditions. We have a liability waiver and lots of rules. We use hand signals and number all of our turns.
The best frames have a wide front end. The coyote widetrack is an excellent frame for this. We scale our karts and add weight if necessary. The wight ratio is 42% front and 58% rear or as close as you can get. Side balance is equal.
I should make a video of all the prep and setup steps.
It's a lot of maintenance and work for a little play.
We work on them for hours and drive them for minutes.
I hope that helps. Feel free to ask any more questions.
Good luck, and have fun.

What engines do you use?

@xProjectLegitx

Briggs on some and clones on some.

You may want to read the video description.

It goes into better detail.

This year we will be running 3 clones.
