Hi there. I'm just relaxing at home, laying around from surgery. I stepped on my son's skateboard while go karting and tore my patellar tendon. Now I'm sitting around looking at all your nice projects wishing I had something to do. I got involved with small engines a few months ago.
It all started on Craigslist. I traded some guns for a kart, Here it is! - DIY Go Kart Forum
and then I was in business. I ordered a 6.5hp clone and picked up an 8 hp B&S http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2759 Now I just need a mini-bike frame.
I'll just pull the Briggs 2.5hp from the cart and use it for the minibike. I'll utilize a foot long water pipe for the exhaust, disable the gov and make the filter intake less restrictive.

I'll get about 8-9hp out of the clone by installing a billet flywheel, drilling bigger jets into the carb, removing the gov and installing a header.(and by using this guide)http://personalpages.tds.net/~nascarfans/TripleDouble.htm
Cheers!
