new to go karts

Cool, if you can't stand waiting for shipments I have a whole slew of parts to sell you at super steep prices!

I just need your address, phone number and what would be a good time to drop by.

Deal, as long as you throw in a free home invasion robbery.

Can you guys tell me if something is missing here.......look like there should be sorting going to the choke.

The thingamajig on the top is your throttle. Off to the right (Up in these pics)is the idle see screw I see no choke lever in this picture. The throttle cable goes there.

It doesn't really matter what kind of kart it is. Karts are karts. Besides a few occasionally ifferent measurements they're pretty generic and can use most all parts. Take a look at
gopowersports.com. They have what you need.
And a clutch is $17 on ebay. Don't get scalped, buy your own parts.

So I have the throttle hooked were I seen it hooked up in other pics. I think the governor might not be connected correctly. It looks like it might be missing a spring. Anyone happen to have a pic of the way its all suppose to look or direct me. I have the schematic of the cart with all the parts but does not really help with what I'm trying to work with

Need more pics. Do you have a small spring wrapped around a rod that comes off the carb.that hooks to a lever that goes into the side of the engine... Mang some pics would really help here.

That is always included at no extra charge (it's in the fine print). I have uh, a "crew" which helps themselves to any unneeded items not nailed down.

A similar Tecumseh throttle linkage issue?

I had to make the part. I also had to run the spring from the governor to the place on the engine. Now the kart will start and run without having to feather the throttle. Its still not running 100% so think we are going to have to take it to a small engine shop to get it tuned up..........thanks for all the help.

In a side note I got it all cleaned up and got the paint touched up and noodles put on.

 

[bigfoot493]

Well thanks everyone for the help. Got the kart running just in time for Christmas and the boys loved it so much the first 20 minutes into riding it they crashes into a tree and bent the front rim slightly. All I know is I don't remember the kart I rode on as a kid going that fast...........man it will fly! Good thing they have seatbelts and full face helmets.
