  1. Has anyone researched the Kandi that Lowes is handling. Pro's or Con's?
  2. 1"| diameter. I'll check the length if you need Jim.
  3. Dennis, Find your manual or look up one online . Find the section on adjusting shifting cables and follow them to the "T". Don't skip any steps thinking this is easy. Don't ask me how I know!
  4. Jim, Have you checked oil level in engine? Does it smell like gas? If overful it could be sucked by the breather back to carb.
  5. i googled it and found one for 62.78 at beltpalace.com. no relationship.
  6. Have you adjusted your shift cables as per the book? I fought this forever because I was just adjusting the back end ( and cussing ). Finally read the instructions and followed them to a T. Everything shifting now. ZYou have t o start in the front under the hood. Read the book.
  7. A derailleur is French for a sysytem "like a 10 speed" bike where you change gears.
  8. I think Jakub is from another country and the translation is losing something along the way. Jakub, Where are you from? We are all waiting for your reply.
  9. Can't really tellbecause of the stepdown in engine size. I will tell you that in the final hookup, I got itchy to try it before all hookups were complete. Started it and it took off. Throttle went to wide open. Lucky that I was able to steer with left and reach back to the engine with right hand to shut it down. All I can say is that it was faster than I expected and more than I need.
  10. Question? Is that the original clutch from thr Subaru engine or did you replace it? I am looking for a clutch to replace mine. Long story. I am stepping down from a twin to a 420 Predator. Had the clutch off (Cvtech) and one of the shoes got misplaced. I purchased a smaller replacement but would like to use my wider drivebelt. Why stepping down? I have no use for the horsepower. Live in flat land, don't haul heavy loads or ever use the 4 wheel drive. Just need transportation down to the mailbox and around the pasture.
  11. Looks good. Does it not cause a noise or exhaust gas problem for rear seat passengers?
  12. I am familiar with that machine. I would cut pipe between engine and muffler and extend to mufflewr existinting position. Shouyldn't cause any problems that way.
  13. ke the wires from the starter and move to the solenoids and run wire from solenoid to starter. Watch a mfew youtubes on installing a 12v solenoid and it should be clear. Don't get confused with re;ay. The solenoid becomes your relay. Chaep fix.
  14. Ahah, a hint........Lose 100 lbs and try again! Not a lot of experience with clutches. Perhaps when you swapped sides on that axle something either doesn't line up or slipped position. You probably won't see me around here much. I start Chemo tomorrow morning. Didn't want that on my resume but you can't always choose.
  15. Clyde, are you aware that number is for a propane carb. Are you trying to run it on gas? That carb is available for around 300.-00. If you were noty aware that it was propane powered, I would be trying to get a refundGood luckYou may be able to switch it to gas but thats not my forte. Oh, I saw the part available on partstree and a coupla other sites (ebay)
  16. Nurse First----Erase your #3 down. Don't start reengineering the kart. #1 Although you may find a stubshaft the size you want, you may be placing undue strtess with that pulley and belt hanging out there. Wouldn't want my kids riding a hazard like that. Which leaves #2 #2 seach ebay or amazon or perhaps a local auto supply for standoffs or spacers. In fact I have seen large nuts (5/8 or 3/4)to use as standoffs. Cheaper and this isn't rocket science.check close and make sure you will clear all parts by raising engine. Use flat washers and lockwashers to secure enine firmly. make a habit of checking tightness regularly.
  17. Nurse, FUG GET about it. The eengine is shot. Sounds are hard to decipher but it sounds like a rod rattling around in there. All the time I kept telling you to check the oil, I ASS umed you understood not to overfill. When you overfill a small engine like that the internal parts act like an eggbeater. It hit me when you mentioned how black and dirty the oil looked. I've seen one run until the oil turned to a tar or pitch like substance and freeze up. Even tho you may have loosened it the engine is shot. CANNOT BE REPAIRED. Save your pennies and get a new engine.When you give up trying t hings you'll wish you had just replaced the engine in the first place. PS| For a quick check, remove thge spark plug from engine. Find a long skinny screwdriver or you can use a pencil if you take it easy. As you pull the crank slowly does the screwdriver go in and out `with the` piston. If it doesnt move the connecting rod is broken and not attached to the piston. (No that can't be fixed at this point.
  18. Honda isdefinately your best option . If that don't it your budgetyou can pick up a 13 hp from Harbor Freight for around 395 I think. They actually copied a honda engine I am told. Make sure the footprint fits, the shaft size and length fit. It has both electric strart and hand crank.But it also needs the oil checked regularly.. Watch their sales, join their club and you might get that engine with a 20-25% discount on sale. Keep in touch. Dont buy a kohler!
  19. damn nurse, Oil is the blood of an engine . you have to check the ppressure {level} regularly. If it seized you can probably get ready for a new engine. If I remember correctly you had a kohler engine. While shopping I would check out other brands. Kohler is getting a bad reputation latlely. I would like a Honda engine inj it. You cantry putting oil in it and see if it will crank but I dont give great odds. If you get a new one CHECK THE OIL every time you run it and teach the kids also.

  21. Ryan I don't see where it would be any different than any other engine. Ask Redbeard. Google him on youtube. I know he runs some and he likes to remove the governor.
  22. Benjamin I assume you have a kohler engine, Have you adjusted the valves? Sounds like the decompression is not kicking in which would throw extra load on the starter.
  23. Jim, I'm going to attempt totake this the messaging
