Can you tune an engine like this?
Good morning,
I want to motorize a go-kart with a few friends using this motor kit. Unfortunately, I'm afraid the engine might be a bit underpowered. Do you think it's possible to slap a 70 or even 85cc kit on it, or would it require welding, milling, etc.?
Here is the 50cc engine:
Yeah, that could be good.
I think it’s unlikely that the kit should fit exactly from the dimensions and I have doubts.
Then take a stronger motor, e.g. something like this:
Total
or something thick, with which you would not have any performance problems:
Total
There would be about 50 inches, because the value exceeds 150.-.
In any case super important for air-cooled engines: during installation/construction it must be ensured that air flows around the engine. Air baffles or a fan may have to be installed.
Thank you for the research and the detailed answer. I appreciate that very much 🙂
You will hardly be able to increase the 50 cc motor. Are you buying a bigger one?
Yes, I had before, but some other important parts will be delivered in the same way. In addition, larger engines are more expensive.
