MANCO Havoc 4005B Rebuild
Ok so my story starts off like most....got a Kart Cheap....thought how hard could it be to rebuild it...and now....I'm here! So I traded an old pistol for a Manco 4005B Havoc. Had a 5HP Subaru engine, it was Yellow and Rust, but had new tires! so that was a plus. The brakes were shot, had the wrong kind of belt on it and was chewing them up because the drives were all rusted.
Kids wanted it done before school started.....yeah I know....and I just now got it put together. Got the Frame Powder Coated, New Predator 212cc Engine (6.5HP), New Brakes, Disc, driven pulley, I mean practically brand new Kart.
No the Kill switch....Haven't done this yet....
I read the forums and found something about the Oil Sensor wire, but when I pulled the original engine it was done differently. Either way, it's been a project. I originally ordered parts from madhouse.com, and received some, but not all of them. They refused to refund me my money and said all parts were send....anyway I found a better place to get my parts from and have had no issues since!
What do you all think? Waste of Money or worth the restoration?

I think it looks great. Did you blow more than $500 on it? If not, then I would say you can keep your sanity. $300? You came out alright! $200? Not likely. $100? Impossible.
