    Predator 670, how fast?

    Tell me more about your setup. It sounds like what I want to do. I have an old golf cart and quad suspension, and I'm trying to figure out a motor. I'd love to have reverse if possible.

    Go kart forward reverse gearbox

    Consider the size of the motorcycle rrear tire comprred to the size of the cart tire. The torque will be a bit easier on the small tire.

    Another project fell into my lap

    My golf cart (club car DS) runs about 18 mph on stock motor with Governor bypassed. Those old carts with a two stroke motor would run the motor in the opposite direction for reverse. My cart is lifted with blocks up front, stock soft spring, and can make toy a little nervous going around...

    Question about exhaust pipes

    A friend of mine has kids who are into go karts, and they've been racing on private tracks, so I got my kart out of storage and started messing with it. So! I've been reading threads here all morning, and thinking about my setup, which led me to looking at carbs, and the info for one carb said...

    New auto darkening helmet opinions wanted

    I started with the tribal red HF helmet which worked fine for the many years I used it. It even sat out in the rain once or twice and still worked, but I replaced it when it started to not work and the headband broke. Now I've got the back and green Titanium one which is much better, and has a...

    Propane that's the question.

    You can run higher compression and get that power back. Propane is something like 110 octane.

    1100cc golf cart

    Why is it a 6x6 if only one axle is driven? If it's going to be an offload cart you want to get rid of that extra axle for better traction.

    Smog pump mounted to the 5hp

    It's the carbon vanes that make it self lubricating, but I've replaced many "lube free" airmotors because the vanes wear out and either break or jam. But,these are motors that run 24-7.

    Looking for wheels with 1"I'd bearings

    Yeah, huge, I know. I picked up a free cart yesterday but there are no wheels on it. The axle is 1"OD, and while I can find rear wheels with that ID I can't find affordable front wheels on bushings or bearings that size. I've checked Amazon, eBay, HF, Northern Tool, and I'm thinking I may have...

    Slightly off topic engine question

    It's time to replace the vertical shaft briggs in my push mower. I am planning on a Predator 5.5. I don't see on the website what the mounting style is for the blade, nor the mount pattern for the engine itself. I know its a long shot but does anyone know?
