"Look at his determination"

He's thinking how much faster he could go if she'd get out !

( very nice pic! )

Excellent Pic! Congrats!

That's a very good way to teach driving skills for the youngins'

Snowmobile engines work well on these too......but then a roll-bar would be in order.

I did put a smaller drive sprocket (6") and new brakes, too. That made it much quicker off the line. I'm not ready for them to go any faster than that..lol!

I need to build my kids a kart but all i have is the 5hp briggs.

Cool picture!

The 5hp Briggs is the standard engine for most go-karts.

Check out this site for parts:

They've got pretty good prices.

Thanks!

Looks totally awesome. I loved it when my friend let me ride his go-cart back in the day.

On another note, and please don't take this a criticism, but the kids foreheads are exposed and vulnerable with the helmets sliding to the back of their heads. This is a common mistake. A simple adjusting/tightening of the helmets straps so their foreheads are covered and they will be much safer.

Good luck!

None taken. I've been getting a little lax on the helmets since they're older but I actually did adjust them after I saw the photos I took.

Hey Cooper, the 5hp is o.k., just have the head milled a skosh and have the valves ground (multi-grind) for faster response and don't forget to open up the governor so you can get the rpm up. just thinking...
