Swing mount location

[steve welte]

Here is what I didn't say. You have to decide what you really want your kart for or to do. then you decide if you want it to be correct as the factory did it. Now once you decide those two things then you need to think further. Many early ideas were and methods weren't the best. Things like throttle linkage, engine mounts, and brakes are a few. If you really want to race your kart and have few problems then you may want to consider things like inboard clutches, more modern sleeve type cables and better brakes. As for the mounts I hate the ones inside the rails that try to force you to use an outboard clutch. I also hate center mounted engines that you can't reach anything at any time. So most of the time my mounts will straddle the rail and i;ll use modern brakes and sleeve throttle hookups with compression fittings. Like Fox news I'll suggest and you decide.
