In the 2nd picture ( the one from the rear tire ) your clutches are clearly not lined up correctly. Your driver needs to be moved out about 3/16 ". Or move the driven in. Looks like you have room to do that. Pretty big gap between the chain and the backside of the driven. The two inner sheave...

It's spread out over TWO tires. So just pretend you weigh 115 instead of 230.

Not very relevant to your thread, but to answer your question, I am using the 1.2 to 1 Gage rockers. The cam has a lift .310", and the 1.3 to 1 rockers was going to cause coil bind. That particular engine has dual valve springs, I think they're 55lb, so I use the Gage as much for the added...

I think with you changing to the 37 lb springs you will be fine running the champion rockers. I was told by Eric Adams ( the Grey Goat ) that most anything over 50 lb is cause for using the Gage rollers. The way yours cracked on the bottom looks more like poor valve train geometry rather than...

Kind of an open question. Is it stock or modified? If modified, what have you done to it. How are you going to use the engine?

The best ( or easiest ) way to get a good air tight seal between the manifold and the carburetor is to bolt them together with both pieces on the work bench. Where you can look through and manipulate the two parts at the same time. Once you are satisfied, bolt the manifold, with carb attached (...

Wife and I have been making Tamales at Christmas for more than 40 years. Well actually she makes them ( Her mothers recipe ) but after practicing for that long I'm pretty good at tying them. Usually make about 100 of them.

Back to your original question. Should I spend $100 on a juggernaut driver? As the owner of 4 karts, every one of them with a built engine and one of them running a juggernaut, I don't think that they are worth the money. Get your gear ratio worked out. Your rear sprocket is way too small. You...

If you really have an odd ball engine and can't find a odd ball piston and ring set to fit, you could have the block bored to a standard size. You could also just sh#t can the engine and buy a new one. Might be cheaper in the long run.

If the mini bike wheelies or not depends on where the attachment points is. If you try pulling attached at seat height it will pick up and come over on you without much fight. If you were fabricate a harness that attached to the foot pegs, down low and mid ship length wise it would take a LOT...

Welcome to the forum. Very nice looking bike for a home built job. Looks rugged, like a farm working vehicle should. Get those fenders on there man, doesn't sound like fun riding without them.

I once saw on the History channel that in the late 1600's the city of New York banned lawyers from the city. They should have made it permanent and country wide. They sure have a way with killing fun.

It did today. Quite a bit.

That should work. You need to get the right length bolt that will thread in all the way with out.bottoming out. Then the correct heavy washer on the outside of the driver, use some blue lock tight, and torque to 25 lb. ft. I have a couple of karts and no more exposed shaft then what you have...

Front sprockets can be changed to change the final gear ratio. A bigger front sprocket will give you a higher gear ratio, more top speed. The sprockets are smaller and usually cheaper than the larger rear ones. Your bike probably has a 10 tooth on the front. An 11 will be a 10 % difference. A 12...
