Subaru Engine Go Kart Swap on a Budget!

Рет қаралды 315,623

5 жыл бұрын

Our off road go kart project named Pugly (because it's ugly and kind of looks like a Pug) has a damaged 107cc three speed engine after we put it up against our mini ATV in early 2018. We recently got a 7 horsepower 211cc Subaru Robin overhead cam engine from one of our viewers at our Mini Mayhem meet, so we figured we'd treat this like we were teenagers on a budget! So with a cheap used go kart frame with a bad engine, an engine a friend found for us, and a few parts from Go Power Sports, we make it run!

If we cut a bunch of weight out of this kart and had a long, flat road to test it on, it would probably do 60 miles an hour with this gearing setup!

I built a very sketchy cart from an old frame I found behind a barn once. Had a 3 horse Briggs, clutch, and super high gearing. It couldn't pull out of its own way but on straight stretches it would *literally fly* To the point I had to put disc brakes on it because the stock brakes couldn't even slow it down it was so fast.

Convert the 107 to a gearbox... Done it before. You take apart the top end. make a cover for the cylinder. remove the cover over the flywheel and the starter. Bolt a gear to the flywheel. bolt your new engine on a plate in front or above this new stand alone transmission with built in clutch and attach them with a chain... it works pretty good till it gives under the increased horsepower and torque.

Too bad Subaru discontinued their manufacture of small industrial engines. To me they are every bit as good as Honda engines. I have a generator and a pressure washer powered by Subaru and they always start right up after sitting for several months. Besides the gearing issues you already noted I would suggest you remove the governor, and also that you get the air cleaner out of the path of any mud and water from the rear right tire maybe by fitting it a 90 degree bend and raising up several inches, maybe with a neopreme rubber elbow from the plumbing section of your local hardware store. Pugly vs Yerf Dog would be a fun video. I think you should rename Pugly "Fugly" or better yet "Fugly Pugly".
