Firing up the 11 hp beast go kart

Just dropped the 11 horse briggs I/C on my go kart the other day and heres a video of it starting up. No clutch yet because Northern Tool has to be dumb and close at 8... I have it now but no vids yet of me driving it

@muddymanify Ill see if I can find all the pieces for the thing, Ive got a huge bucket full of parts and junk from go karts and engines and its also a possiblilty that my dad trashed it... hes a neat freak

[muddymanify]

hey do you have the torque converter still? ill  buy it from you

[4x4maniac89]

@muddymanify yeah ive got it but its not in very good shape which was one of the reasons i changed it out. it would barely work and all the bearings in it were just about shot

@walter7093 well i use a comet clutch and people will say thay are bad- but belt clutches and chain clutches on gocarts are normally fine unless the assembly is in two peices-i brought a new clutch and myc carts chain still slips!

[mikethenascarfan]

that thing must hual, you took thew governor off?

[muddymanify]

well if ya wanna get rid of some parts private message me what you have and ill see what i want and ill buy thanks JC

[muddymanify]

well if u could find it i would be very greatful honestly you can take a look at my gokart its ok not to spiffy

[4x4maniac89]

It all depends i guess. i havent really had much experience with the chain drive(centrifugal clutch) but this kart had a torque converter(belt drive then to a chain drive) and it was good as long as it had a decent belt. Im thinkin about goin to just a plain belt drive for this kart with a tensioner clutch in it. They can be a pain to rebuild but as long as you have good parts it should be fine

@4x4maniac89

Chain drive or belt?

What do you think is better ?

also can you rebuilt build comet clutches ( the belt kind) I I think I burned mine. and I read somewhere that you can do a clutch rebuilt on them
