Default motor swap question

If you want reverse, you will need a rear end from a 4 stroke cart.

you have to have a 4 stroke rear end. 2 stroke will run backwards, 4 stroke won't.

ok i got the motor figured out, i'm making a new mount that positions the motor over the rearend so everything lines up and turns the right way.....next question what clutch should i be using a comet 40 or do i need something beefier??

How much increase in power did you get with the 13hp? And which clutch did you go with?
