boblog Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I've just bought a piece of scrap! I'm thinking flog the GX200, get a 13hp GX390 and away she goes! I am confused, when they said you had to "shift the weight" I thought there would have been a bit more of your kart left or am I missing something I have got ene or several in the garage if you wanted something like that come to think of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilot Pete Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I think we'll be collecting scrap on saturday, so might have to give this one a miss, was thinking I wouldn't make this one anyway. I was really wanting a day to tinker with it. I can guarantee Jeff will all of a sudden found a heap of pace and I definatley wouldn't have caught him on saturday etc etc! I have questions for said scrap project: 1) To jeff, what temperature do you really need the room to be if I wanted to paint the chassis (dont think I will, but you never know). 2) Are the briggs engines deffo 14hp, and what torque figure do they have?
