Default Re: Kawasaki Zx600 Engine Swap

Could you use just a electric motor that may not be for carts but would be enough to reverse your cart with a 6:1 ratio? Seems like this would be easier to fab and take up less space since you need a battery anyway to start the engine. Just trying to think outside the box.

In my cart it was electric as well and converted it to a Tecumseh 10hp, live axle, go-cart forward/reverse transmission on a swing arm and works well. What I suggested with the electric motor may be a workaround for mine as well allowing a more powerful motor since my transmission is only good for up to 13hp.
