Stoudt's Karts and Parts is proud to have teamed with DOVER POWER to be able to offer you horsepower, customer service, and pricing that is second to none.

Nothing is more important to us then knowing whatever we sell our customers is top quality and something that we would put on our own karts. Which is why we did not want to invest years trying to learn the tricks and secrets of all the best builders .. we wanted to go find one of the best and convince him to team with us so we can give our customers what they deserve… the quality and reputation of a southern builder but still the customer service of a family owned local kart shop.

Every new Dover Power Engine is put together using the latest edition of parts available from Briggs. The new R4 block by far is the best block any builder has ever had to work with. Better castings, better flow characteristics and thus more HP than ever before. This engine comes with hand picked head (Perfect Head),our Grade AAA carb, cooked & seasoned block, welded lifter bore, align bored, indexed and trued crankshaft, Dyno or our own custom cam and spring package, billet lifters ,ARC Billet rod, blueprinted valves and seats,3 piece brace kit along with our oil vent kit and light weight billet filter adapter. Also comes with one of our custom built Ceramic Coated Headers.. Also unique to Dover Engines is that each engine comes with a "Title" and dyno sheet weather that engine is new or used.
 

We rebuild & blueprint most makes of
4 cycle clutches !!

We do our own in house blueprinting on most 4 cycle clutches for ONLY $20.00 plus parts. Any racer can tell you with the average race being about 15 laps if your start isn’t good you might as well stay home.

  The first step to our rebuild process is to totally disassemble the clutch and clean each individual piece in an acetone parts wash. Once each piece is cleaned we look over each piece to make sure its still up to spec if it is not that part is laid aside to show the customer but is replaced. We have found that on most rebuilds friction disc and floater usually need replacing or else the rebuild life is cut in half.

   The next step is without a doubt one of the most important… we use special grinding wheel to re-spin the pressure plate and drive hub to ensure that it is 100% true and also to get a quality contact surface for better engagement and even wear. If the customer prefers a harder hitting clutch along with working the pressure plate and drive hub we can also do some custom work to the friction disc and levers at no extra charge. Keep in mind a harder hitting clutch will need rebuilt a little sooner then normal clutches.

   Once each piece is properly worked and trued we reassemble the clutch, check for proper air gap between disc and most important assuming your springs are still in good working condition we ensure that each spring is set to the exact same height using a spring height tester which is much more accurate then a standard dial caliper. Since springs are fairly inexpensive if they are more then about 50 races old we recommend replacing them prior to the setting spring height. The last step is actually test the clutch on an in house test engine to ensure that its not just engaging properly but at the RPM requested by the customer.

   Once your clutch has been rebuilt the service doesn't end there. Its always free to stop by our parts trailer or shop and ask us to look over your clutch to make sure that you still have proper air gap and springs are still properly set because its just as important to maintain a good clutch as it is to spend the money to get on blueprinted the first time.

   We also do recommend taking advantage of our touch up service about half way through a rebuild cycle. During this service we disassemble and clean each part just as in the blueprinting process. We also do a spot check on each part just to make sure everything is wearing properly. If need be a quick touch up can be done to the pressure plate and drive hub using a less aggressive grinding surface then in the original rebuild to simply clean instead of true each part. The clutch is reassembled and springs reset. ONLY $10.00
