building a kart starter cart
Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 9:17 am
Hi all,
as i'm not young anymore (at least to me) so i decided to build a starter cart for my go karts.
the handheld ones i have weigh a ton after a few starts.
Seemed a simple matter just mount the starter on a hand truck sort of set up and you're done.
Surprisingly it's not that simple.
the wiring is easy just a starter,battery,soliniod and good button.
but the placement of the starter and battery and how they interact and fit was a bear.
i built and rebuilt my first one several times before i felt it was decent.
even though i managed to cobble one together that works fine but it occurred to me that others would benefit from a thread outlining construction details of these things.
Sooo, send in pix and dimensions so the new guys can build their own , without re-inventing the wheel.
thanx dave
