Sorry guy, I can't help this time. I never got any pics of the pedals and I don't have the kart anymore.

$260, I came out a little ahead on what I spent on the kart and the parts I bought to fix the throttle and brakes.

Good for you dude.

So I'm putting the kart back together and I want to make sure I have the TC right. How do these pics look? There's supposed be a spacer between the edge of the jackshaft engine side, right? For some reason, I feel that there was a lot more slack in the belt before..but it's been a while, so I may be wrong.

The torque convertor seems alright to me. Maybe one of the pros here sees a problem...

Your paint looks really black, lool. Is there going to be any other color?

Thanks.

Uhhh? Black is black lol. I think part of it was the flash/editing I had to do to brighten it up. Black will be the only color.

It would be cool if you made your steering wheel red or something. Just my opinion though.

@Nodroz, I'm looking to keep most things original. Plus I feel like the paint would come right off.

SO the briggs motor has two oil "entry/exits". Is there a special technique as to which I should drain from and which I should fill from? Thanks.

They are both fillers, drains are usually on the base plate. Again, there's probably two.

To answer your question: whichever has the easiest access

The kart looks good! Nothing like a fresh coat of paint to freshen things up.

Car oil, no. you need 30 weight oil. Briggs & Stratton put out an oil made for these engines; other companies put out slightly less expensive ones. Check Harbor Freight.

It might but I wouldn't suggest it; you don't know if or what damage may occur
