We're building a backyard shifter kart! We have a blown up Yamaha Blaster engine, and a powerful Tillotson 225cc racing engine, so we figured why not build a yard kart with a transmission? This go kart transmission should hold up to the 25 horsepower that our go kart engine is making. We're installing the engine and transmission on an American Express 2.0 go kart. It's an update version of the vintage go kart the American Express.
Our Yamaha Blaster engine has a hole in the engine case, big problems with the piston, and the rod bearings are out of it. It's safe to say that this ATV engine will never run again, so we cut the jug and head off and linked the transmission to our Tillotson 225!
