New Jackshaft assembly and smaller sprocket

Here's the StratoGeezer kart with a vastly improved, simplified and tougher jack shaft assembly, plus a 48 tooth sprocket that replaces the giant 80 tooth - giving the kart more speed, while not sacrificing much torque at all.

[@hogheadv2]

I like the center lift when you add power. Shows the TQ is still ready to go.

[@brianm5684]

Nice driving Cody!! Your dad's awesome!!!

[@BillWills]

That's a well engineered engine setup. I like it:)

[@paulbrosco281]

dig the new bearing set-up...sweet machine

[@Unibomber2u]

When I was a kid my Dad bought us a type of mini-bike called a tote goat, it had 10 hp B&S engine, a small front wheel and a huge tractor wheel in the back. It was designed as a high torque low speed contraption my Dad thinking speed kills thought this would be a safer mini-bike. My brother found out quickly this was not the case as the designers decided to put the brakes on the center jack shaft. Nobody realized the design flaw until it surfaced while my late brother was climbing a steep hill the chain broke rendering the brakes useless. The look of surprise on his face was priceless looking at us pulling the brake lever as he sped backwards down the hill into a large patch of sticker bushes. I noticed you didn't make the same mistake.

I need a setup like this for a 2005 Eton 90cc. I will be using a Honda GX 270. Awesome work by the way.

[@litefoot900]

Great cart sounds good.

[@minecraftslayer3082]

dude nice engine man

[@faintinggoatsproductions567]

Thanks. Just a hobby - designed and built from scratch in my garage. The shocks are from. '70s era English motocross bike.

[@JustAnotherAsianGuy2]

it runs pretty good

[@RobKaufmanstratogeezer]

I ended up pulling one of the keystock out of one of the rear drive wheels. So one wheel is now providing power and the other turns freely to give me a better turn radius. It's not a perfect solution but it works fine.

[@aaroncampbell9290]

What's the part number on the belt you used? I have a similar set up and am having a hard time finding a belt that works

[@svensktmopedrally9127]

Nice car

[@electus7]

Well done

[@dereksmithsr4498]

Maybe add a 12 dollar vacuum pulse pump on it & mount tank anywhere you like. Can even run the pulse pump off crankcase vent

[@nicolec7290]

Sounds good

[@openwheelmanic]

Cool gokart...what make / model of engine are you using?

[@gorkuhmork]

Do you have a clutch on that cart that works like a constant varebol transmission

[@btchhopperou812]

How is the drive chain adjusted? Looks like it was loose @ the time vid was shot

[@craig666999pot]

What size is that converter I'm thinking about doin the same swap on my streaker kart

[@icomba]

That shit is dope, lovin the shocks. Is that a hobby build or a build for sale?

[@raghur1125]

what are the engine stats and what was the topspeed achived so far?

[@eDrifter1]

nice! thumbs up bro!

[@watahyahknow]

look into a vacuum operated fuelpump using that alowes you to put the tank below the level of the carb like under the steering between youre knees the vacuum pulses it needs come from the intake manifold

[@consaka1]

That sprocket also gave you more ground clearance. interesting the way the suspension wants to tuck forward on acceleration. Good traction on initial acceleration. Your anti squat must be around 200 :) To adjust that you will have to have 4 links I think. Possibly a good 3 link.

[@IceStone69]

Can you send me a link or tell me where you got your jackshaft assembly

[@nitro105]

similar gearing to my home-made kart, I just had a 9hp but i could do about 34mph flat out..In the winter snow i changed drive pulley so It topped about 28mph.

[@nstable]

i had the same issue with my sons kart i built.. i pulled the pin out and it handled fine, but then all my brake was to just one wheel. this next time around i'll be using a differential in t he drive train..

[@juanrazo8998]

What size of belt do you have on there?

[@mountain177]

where can i find an opposed twin like that?

[@RichardEun]

How does your go kart turn without a differential?

[@CluelessEngineer]

is that 35 chain???

[@MultiEdgar1994]

hey when i start my gocart up the tires start to turn and if i push the break the engine also stops so i dnt know whats wrong any ideas??

[@maxsuel528]

Como fase o sistema de trasao pra ele anda mais rápido

[@jndggonzalez1]

what is you chain size?

[@UNIVERSALMINDBAND]

Nice Job!, Congratulations, Does the vehicle has differential ?, Can the vehicle turn without problems?

[@faintinggoatsproductions567]

Turning was a problem. I had to let one back tire spin freely and independently on the axel, to get any decent turn radius. Lesson learned.

[@minorpyro69]

+UNIVERSALMINDBAND The setup he has is the equivalent of a locked differential. but in the gokart world it is called a live axle.

[@nicolec7290]

What size motor?

[@davidracz5947]

veri good

[@craigcrawford8549]

NICE

[@mouseinthefalls7836]

hay there Bob.... if you want more speed out of that go kart you have change that little bitty sprocket on your jackshaft to something upwards of 17 tooth maybe a 20 that will in turn turn your axle a lot faster also it would allow you to use more of the horsepower directly from the torque converter. I also have a couple of videos of my own buggy that I have built so you have some better ideas that you can work off of if you want.

[@JAMES-zq9qv]

Rob S. i never seen a rubber line when it start to move most go kart on sprocket has metal chain what is this better ?

[@mouseinthefalls7836]

Pit Bull , I don't understand what you're referring to or talking about.

[@ANTONIOSTAR]

Hello Friend, where can I buy and torque transfer (CVT) tell the site or email, thank you.

[@lewismcrae4271]

this works the same way as a snowmobile

[@signal44]

Kool little ride , nice engineering BUT -- PAINT OR COVER your tank it is probably not UV stabilized and will get weak in the sun , had one just like that crack on me just from vibration , what a mess. You can cover it with under body spray that works pretty well ....

[@sahachas9062]

На сколько ремень?

[@michaelshaw2600]

If you want more speed put the small sprocket on the bottom an the big sprocket on top

[@EricFixalot]

Michael Shaw That would actually make it slower.

[@michaelshaw2600]

That is if you have kids

[@EricFixalot]

What does having kids have to do with anything?

[@consaka1]

+Michael Shaw High potential speed but really low torque. Probably so low it wouldn't even get going very well. Downhill your top speed would be over 100 mph.

[@clemersilva7906]

[@llrb19677]

moree power o more speed?

[@mrdrasticreactions]

Dude pillow block bearings are only £5 each in uk

[@btchhopperou812]

They are here(USA), too.... Well, $8-10ea. This poor guy paid the FULL retail price I guess! Must not use Ebay? lol

[@BigMikeD10001]

wow

[@calvin24thewolf]

Take the governor off and buy a ported head kit for it. thats a lot cheaper then a 450cc

[@user-ro8sv4mp3f]

Русский комент должен быть в топе!

[@goodneff]

i dont like the tank position other than that its nice good job

[@lewismcrae4271]

I don't like where the gas tank is

[@catfisher420]

That twin cylinder will eat up some gas. I have a 8hp briggs flathead and even that burns over twice the fuel as my predator 212cc. Looks like he is running a briggs vanguard 18hp 2 cylinder, running it hard it probably burns a gallon every half hour if not more.

[@metallitech]

You can huff gasoline as you go along.

[@davonpettit2831]

Can I have your old jack shaft

[@coreysalsomevideos18]

Replace the exaust pipe for a gatlen gun exaust sorry for spelling grammar

[@Balal21161]

nise

[@faintinggoatsproductions567]

It's not that fast. Faster than it was, but not unsafe. But it does still have enough torque to spin the back tires, which are golf cart knobby tires.

[@pokepingpong]

wow top speed must be like 25kph

[@clintonstockstill3766]

You torque converter is set up wrong they are pulling in opposite directions spring and pads face outwards not towards the engine

[@samanthatorres4914]

Really wow think you should stick to somthing you know

[@catfisher420]

if you have a 12 tooth jack shaft and a 48 tooth sprocket then you are running a 4:1 gear ratio and your kart should do 53 MPH so with the torque converter it should be getting up to about 65. It sounds like your motor cant handle that drastic of gearing and will never hit top speed. it sounds like you are only at about 3000rpm when your kart tops out. Get dual carbs and dual exhaust(straight pipes) remove the governor and that puppy will go!

[@twistedmichigander4907]

@J M, it's a twin cylinder engine.............. two heads, each with an exhaust and INTAKE port, allowing the use of dual carbs. Others have already done it, soy boy (it's been done on single cylinder engines too). By the way, when attempting to insulting someone's intelligence, you should try your best to appear intelligent........you failed.

[@TheBluethunder3320]

@Swamigonebananas thats gonna ruin the axle over time

[@paintch3ck]

lol that engine only makes like 10hp put a crf450 engine in it. it makes 50 stock

[@ebuff57]

Your engine sounds like a diesel

[@crashbrandon10]

damn birds..

[@deefred9520]

il Napa assez de page

[@malakaimartain3805]

that sondes old

[@calthmlikiseethm704]

To shaw.... wrong

[@minorpyro69]

wow, this is extremely slow for a 5:1 ratio. when my pred was stock it was much MUCH faster and quicker than this with a 6:1 ratio.

[@Daimo988]

thats really not fast.......

[@pokepingpong]

lame!!!

[@tylershrewsbury3109]

This sucks

[@diegeeleel]

What a piece of junk

[@robkaufman7843]

It functions Primarily as a reduction mechanism, but also, it's necessary if you are using a torque converter. The torque converter is a better alternative to the old go kart/mini bike centrifugal clutch, for low end power.
