Well shucks. With the current gearing I can't slow it down enough. Has a 12 tooth sprocket on the centrifugal clutch. I see they make 11 tooth for 3/4" crankshafts. Will do some math to see what that does for mph.

Good news is the engine idles now that I cleaned the carb. And the remote kill is supposed to be in tomorrow.

And the definition of a hoon, sounds about right . http://metro.co.uk/2010/03/26/what-i...riving-194614/

With the engine throttle stopped at 2600 it does 9-10mph. won't go any slower as clutch engages around 2500rpm. I'm collecting parts to make the clutch engage lower and hopefully I can keep the top speed down them. 5mph to start out would be sweet.

Also not sure how it will do on hills.

[turbomike9]

Clutch is only a few hundred rpm lower and rough engagement.

Might end up with a CVT yet....

Remote kill showed up and works.

It's good to hear the remote kill works. Great piece of mind. The kids are going to love it!

sweet Christmas for the kids!!!! I never got toys like that probably cause they saw what I did with my bigwheel. freestyle was alive long before these kids on dirt bikes lol!!!!! Wondering about the motor could you swap fly wheel from lawn tractor or new if it fits they have the magnets etc for lights epoxied to the rear of them and a separate pickup my snow blower has one lost the magnets but powered lights on it doesn't effect the running at all may not be as hard as we think to set up that motor to run lights. maybe they have the same motor with them and just get parts and swap them over?????? just a thought

We got 6" of snow so holding off on revealing it to the kids. Still need to wire in the remote kill and waiting on a buddy to dig up a CVT.

Good thing is been putting the helmets to good use giving the kids rides on the snowmobile.

Purchased a Comet TAV2 CLONE torque covertor for around $80 shipped today. Should see it later next week. Should allow me to slow the thing down nice and not have any worries about clutch slip.

They do offer a few different springs for the primary and secondary's on those TAV2's so can further dial it in once installed.

good choice switching to CVT
we use mechanical clutches on the kids race buggies because you can get higher top speeds on the track.
but cvt is much better for universal driving and better low end

watching kids have fun is almost as much fun as driving yourself

[chrisMX-15]

Nice and yes I have more fun watching kids enjoy than myself!!! they seem so excited more so than us! well maybe they just show it more than us I built custom one off Honda civic full molded body kit spoilers bbs wheels etc for nephew when he first got his license he was so stoked it was worth every late night I put in car. even my father was like holy fing shit it looks like its going hundred mph sitting still. That's whats its all about!!!!!!!!!! your kids will love that thing hell I want one just to have it and I don't have kids

Thanks guys. Things are escalating quickly.



Also got a line on an engine with electric start and charging system.
