  • We found a sport bike engine swapped mini sprinter kart online and couldn’t resist! We brought it home along with a 1000cc snowmobile for future projects. The kart run ok but had a broken drive train. In this video we fabricated and machined custom drivetrain components and send the beat off of our table top! Thanks for watching! #engineswap #grindhardplumbingco #suzuki

      gerekappo abrasive grinding on a lathe quickly damages the lathe ways and cross slide gibs. The accuracy goes out the window throughout the range. I guess if they want to replace the entire lathe after a year of use because they wont drape an old towel over the ways, it’s their money. It’s just stupid to be so wasteful.

    Looks like the tension on the chain reverses when you motorbrake. then the other side of the chain will loosen and flips off. you need a tensioner at both sids

      Probably something that looks like a "chain slide" on the top side; it will need to will add tension to the top side when you motor brake- that is changing the tension side of the chain run- the slack is then on the wrong side.

    Oh the joys of GP shift :) As a motorcycle racer myself, Reverse shift or GP shift is a must-have. For situations like yours, it is generally a matter of necessity or function rather than choice. When you are balls deep in a turn on a motorcycle and you HAVE to grab another gear, being able to press down ( as opposed to reaching under the lever to pull up ) is paramount. This is especially true if you are making a left turn with hard parts starting to drag on the ground already. getting your foot under the shifter isn't fun when you are that close to the deck.

    that thing is sick! it totally rips it up out there. but i thought of a few mods you might want to do:
    1. cut the wing in half, and mount the halves on a little lower, and also center the panels on the sides. it'll look cooler, be easier to transport and turn the same both directions at speed. the wing is meant for driving around in circles on a track, but by making it symmetrical you could balance the drag out more.
    2. give it more offroad-y suspension. i know it already has good suspension but its got poor travel and is really stiff. longer travel and softer suspension would make it more comfy, and less likely to break if you jump it high / hit a big bump.

    I raced micros for a bunch of years. That thing is built more like a mini sprint which are 1000cc cars. Motor mounted between the frame rails where most micros are offset and the chain goes straight to the axle. Also has a midget steering gear in it, 250 and 600's usually are go kart type steering or really small rack & pinion. Probably a pretty badass car at one time.

    For the chain falling issue you can try making four big washers, one for each side of the sprocket like a sprocket guard for both the engine-output sprocket and the tensioner sprocket because it seems that the chain comes off on the front first. If you google sprocket guard images you will understand better what I mean, it's used on quads. Great build!

    Hey guys. Love your channel and everything you've done, right up to this point. PLEASE don't jump that race car again! It was not designed to do that and you will turn it into a pile of cracked/bent tubing if you keep treating it like a cross kart, which it most definitely is not! Breaking off that shock tower should be proof enough, rusted or not. That adjustment, (up and down) is not for ground clearance. It is to loosen or stiffen up the chassis for different track conditions. I had a CBR 600 powered "sidewinder" mini sprint back in the 90's but always wanted a front mounted engine chassis. That is a really cool car you've found there. I'm in PHX, AZ and these cars were pretty popular back then and I'm pretty sure they still run them here. Let me know if you get bored and would like to sell it. I'll drive up to get it. I've never been to Idaho and would love an excuse to visit. It looks like an awesome place to live with some pretty awesome people! Or, it would be really cool to see Mark get it back, if he wanted it. I wish I had my first race car that my dad bought me. A Curtis quarter midget back in the early 60's. Almost too much fun for a little kid and memories I hope I never lose. Lost my pop back in 2001 to a brain aneurysm.

    Your chain is coming off because when you leave off the gas it's engine breaking witch puts hard pressure on the side of the chain where the tensioner is.. as a result it pulls that side tight and the top witch is the drive side becomes really loose and allows the chain to jump off the top side of the sprocket.. you would need a double tensioner for top and bottom to keep the chain from coming off the way the design is now.. or maybe a chain with a lot less play, almost tight might help.. good luck..
