Kart Racing

4.000 inches -- same bore size as a Chevy 350, the difference is a 327 uses a 3.250 stroke and the 350 uses a 3.480 stroke.

it depends if you want speed or power, what cog and chain you have and how big they are (small on motor and big on axel gives you lots or acceleration and power where big on motor and small on axel will give you a very high top speed (if you can get it to move))

Colin Macrae was a world championship rally driver who tragically died in a helicopter crash.

3hp with 150lbs. rider 25mph. 6hp 35mph with 150lbs rider 120lbs. gocart balloon tires hard geared right with centrifical clutch

you go get one in wall mart and its located noeth of Africa

At least in western Canada there are many recreational kart tracks where kids can learn to drive a kart. The next step if you show promise ,is to join a kart club and start racing competitively in junior leagues.

This is possible in Canada, so I'd bet it's also possible in US, Australia and Britain.

Many factors play into this equation. How complete is it? Does it have any compression ? How about spark? A running example could easily fetch three hundred dollars or more, in my estimation. Additional considerations include modification to the intake and exhaust ports, size of the cylinder bore, condition of the cylinder bore, modifications to the cylinder walls (eg window ports), bent or broken fins on the head and around the exhaust port, damage to the cooling fins, damage to the crank etc., etc. From my experience a core motor (a good basis for a rebuild) will run you anywhere from $100 to $300 depending on condition. Then figure another $200-$400 to replace seals and gaskets, bearings, piston and rings, over-bore/hone the cylinder, replace the needle bearings in the crank and rebuild the carb.

A NOS (New Old Stock) motor will run anywhere from $600-$900

yes, but you can not grive them around like a car. like going onto main streets.

Turnbuckles, pulleys and cable, routed from the shaft of the steering, down through a pulley on each side, to each side of the front axle. The turnbuckles at the axle end, take the slack out of the cable.

i think it goes around 50-70 mph but i may be wrong

replace the radiator. There are a lots of cause why a car stop and running hot. First, your car might have damage head gasket. Second, it might have a worned thermostat and you might need to replace the water pump.

There's no minimum age. Most if not all NASCAR drivers started driving them when they were five.

It is very hard you need four small wheels then a lawn mower moter then a stearing wheel and some pedles you need a welding michanie a base out of fiber glass and wire then you need to weld it all to gether

a decent kart will cost a few thousand pounds. if u want the very best (which unless you intend to race internationaly you won't need or want) will cost 5 thousand pounds and up

If one is asking about go-karts, they are not street legal. Motor vehicles in Texas are required to have registration and a safety inspection. Safety inspection includes items like; brake lights, headlights, horn, turn signals just to name a few.

well a regular go kart engine is usually a 5.5 hp and thoose can go about 25-35 depending on the weight and engine but a 8 hp engine would probaly go about 40-50 depending on the engine and weight again

There is no set speed anyone can tell you. Most engines are set at 3600 RPMs but it will depend on that and what size sprockets you are using from the axle to the jackshaft or clutch. Also, are you using a clutch or a torque converter b/c that will make a big difference as well.

if you look on the side of the engine cover it should say model number engine type and code...on a 6hp murray go kart with a Tec. 6hp it reads 196cc

A 115CC engine is fast for a go-kart. It should enable the driver to get some good speed. You can also use a 110CC engine.

Yes karting can get really expensive between all the equipment and the kart itself. Buying a trailer is also expensive

No so long as you are on private property.
