Did I see a centrifugal clutch set up on that second forum web site? Very cool.

You can also get your wood working jollies!

If it's the same as other cyclekarts, it is by a 212cc engine with comet torque converter:

My project is in my back yard- they stopped making the torque converter for a while so I bought a 150cc scooter motor with built-in cvt. I'm about one full weekend away from operation, but keep thinking I should just push it down the hill and let the woods take it back... This does not help make that decision easy.

How do we find where the tracks are? I'm all for drinking and racing.
