hey every1,
ive got ur standard go-kart with a 5hp Briggs and straton engine...im thinking about makin a 1-rotor 12a engine with a torque converter for a HELLUVA lot more power....anybody know where u can get a 1-rotor e-shaft? lemme know if u got any ideas on that, or any thoughts on how to make it better

I have a 12A single rotor setup - not for sale though.

Atkins has single rotor 13B stuff all day long.

whered u get ur e-shaft from? im probably going to build it myself if its feasible...only thing thats holding me up is the shaft, cuz the rest of the parts are relatively easy to get

 

anyone?

 

just go with a 2 rotor 12a, i'm in the process of drawing plans for my 13b go cart.

 

well, i think it might be too large and heavy to fit on the back of this thing....how much does a carbeurated 12a weigh? the motor is entirely behind the rear axle...and the passenger and prolley the radiator will be in front...so those two #'s have to be close to equal

 

I picked it up a while ago. I have never seen a 12a single sell retail. 13B parts are just as easy to get and the e-shaft can be purchased at the above link.

thanx man! haha this should be crazy...i figure about 5.5hp/lb for this beast...if u figure an est. 150lb rider and 125lb for the engine (just throwing out #'s) and 50hp

 

is there anyway you can fit the engine right in front of the axle?? that would give you better weight distribution
