12HP go kart build

Highly modified Yerf dog go kart from what year I have no idea. It was pretty beat up when I got it but with a little TLC and some crafty fabrication we brought it back from the brink. Engine is a 12hp tecumseh power sport motor from a snow blower (358cc). Drive train is Comet 40 driver and driven with a 6:1 sprocket ratio to the axle. Should do almost 45 but havn't clocked it yet. Front end is off a newer Yerf dog spiderbox but the entire front and top frame were modified to accept the front clip. We named it Yerfenstein because of all the hatchet work we had to do to it. It's Alive!!!

that shot or measure front and rear wheels are and what size wheels

[tequilasunrise156]

@thex3mezijr Not sure what you mean? I'll try and answer. The fronts in this video are 18 inches tall, the rears are 22 inches tall. The distance between the front and rear axles are 60 inches. Hope that helps. Thanks!

The belt attatched to the motor at 0:33, do i have to have that? My motor only has one shaft so i dont know how to attatch the belt. Can i just have a chain connecting the engine sprocket to the drive sprocket? Thanks!

[tequilasunrise156]

@thruthesystem The belt is part of the clutch system. A driver and driven are required and the belt is a specific size to fit between the engine output shaft and the jackshaft. It is important that the belt size be correct or the system won't work properly. There is lots of information out there on the subject. I'm not that familiar with a straight sprocket and chain set up but you may check out some shifter kart websites for more information on that. Thanks!

[tequilasunrise156]

@MsAlexmoruz No it doesn't. Hard tail only. I keep the pressure down in the rear tires and have extra padding in the seat! Climbs over just about anything though with the front suspension.

[tequilasunrise156]

@mike555to666 I only wish I could afford one! I was looking at up to a 24hp version if I could make it fit lol!

[tequilasunrise156]

@mastersduhgree Yes, it originally had that gear set up when I bought it. Little 16 inch tires on the back with a 54 tooth sprocket on the axle. It was scary fast on flat ground but wouldn't take a hill at all.
