I thought about putting a seat in the back like a fighter jet. But I think I like the side by side better. I do plan on making it shorter with rear suspension. I am looking for cheap used parts now. Like small bucket seats and shocks.

Well I have been working on the kart slowly but surely. I ordered up a few new parts. Re built the driver clutch with new weights and blue springs. Put in the brass bushing that was not their. The kart is working better. The belt is now holding up after about 40 min of use. Still looks good...

I really thought about this. Once I buy the new gears plus shipping I am all most at the same amt of $. I got the bran new motor for 90 bucks. At that price why not? The extra torque the 212 makes it is well worth it.

Well..I am the proud new owner of a 212cc predator! I got it all hooked up and running. Ran it at idle for like 4 hrs..took her out on A test drive..:D nothing but smiles! The results are great. It is quite a bit faster. The torque is much improved. I was actually able to accelerate up...

Thank you gentleman. . I was thinking the predator would be a good choice. I may be taking a trip to harbor freight later. :D

So..anyone else have advice on..keep the 172cc motor and change the gears or pick up a new predator 212cc? Would 40cc be a large improvement? Either way I will still get new tires. Looking at 18" or so.

Thanks for the great suggestion. This will really Contribute to the build thread and help others that are looking for answers to their questions. Good job on being the forum police.

I am open to suggestions on this topic..I have few ideas but am Un decided on what to do. I will most likely go with a smaller 18-19 inch tire just more tread. I am thinking about getting a predator 212cc. I get one now for about 80 bucks. Is the extra 40cc worth it? Or should I just go for...

So once I got the clutches taken care of..went for a test ride... It works much better. But not up to par yet. It is still burning belts but 60% less.. here is the new belt after about 15 min ride. That can't be right...I will guess that the gear ratio is way out causing it? I have a 9...

Here is a pic of the belt that came off the kart...the middle one. The other two are 90% new. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I got the clutch and driver all cleaned up. I got them in good alignment. It was off by a 1/4 inch. I think it is OK now.. But I am concern about this. There is not much shaft for the driver to go on to. Is this ok? Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

The first things first ..getting the clutch and driver cleaned. It is a comet 30 I am pretty sure.. During the cleaning here is what I found. Notice the slider pins are out of place and ride on top instead on in. Then I took it apart and found 2 different sized springs. This clutch is also...

My plan with this kart is to set up for my 5 yr old daughter to drive off road. We spend a lot of time in the woods with my quad and the samurai. I figured it was about time for her to learn to drive. I am wanting to turn it Into a 2 seater(buckets) and put some suspension on the rear. SO let's...
