Murray Explorer kart. The disk keeps coming off the 1/4" key slot. And the only practical way to reinstall it is to pull the axle, and that's a big chore. Can I just weld the hub of the disk to he axle, or do I risk warping the disk from heat?

Hi all, Is it possible to buy only the bronze bushing that works with the Comet 30 drive clutch? 3/4" shaft on a stock Predator 212. Mine shrapnel-ed and I've been running without one for a while now, which isn't ideal. Thanks.

I acquired this Dingo for free, it needed work. Is this a normal amount of slop for the spindles on a Dingo? Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwQhLJec_kA&feature=youtu.be

Hey all, I have a Chinese knockoff Comet 30 Series on my Murray. Recently, the driven sheave has started to intermittently stay in "low" position and won't advance the drive ratio as rpm's and speed pick up. I haven't ever had a need to tamper with the driven sheave before. It's only a year...

Well the dingo picked up a roofing nail in the rear tire. So I have a couple of questions. The tire deflated enough that it's off the rim. Will it be easier to plug the tire with it full of air and seated on the rim, or does it matter? I realize that tire plug kits are simple, but having not...

This chronic air leak is giving me fits. See this thread: http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=32574 You only need to read the first and last post to understand the story. I can't make it stop leaking air. I've tightened nuts on the carb studs to the point of stripping threads...

The Predator 212 has two black threaded rods that the carb mounts to. The threads on one of the two are damaged. Is it possible to remove and replace the damaged one? If so, what are the basic steps?

My FB banner. :wai:

This sounds like a rookie question, but apparently a wider belt yields a higher top speed? My Murray Explorer came with a Comet 30 TC (a clone actually, but you get my point..) It had a 1/2" wide belt labeled "Oregon 75-368". It served us well, but eventually needed replacement. So I got...

A Manco Dingo! :wai: I paid a coworker $30 to deliver it to me. He doesn't have anywhere to ride it, and the TC was shot (REALLY shot). He didn't want it taking up space, so here it is. A new TC just arrived from Amazon ($92.00) so it's mine for $120.00. The engine starts and runs good...

What's the simplest way to check RPM's with the kart up on blocks? I tried one phone app but it was way off.

Hi all, I have a Murray Explorer go kart and the seat belt mechanism no longer retracts the seatbelt. In fact, being loose is more of a hazard than having no belt at all. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? I'm not having much luck online. It would not have to be an original...

A year ago I found a very nice web page showing how to remove the governor parts on a predator 212. I would like to pass it along to a friend, but can't find anything online other than videos made by 14 year olds. Anyone have a good place to find this info?

My one year old Predator 212 is beginning to frustrate me. For the fourth time in a month and a half, the carb is giving me trouble. Description: It will start and run fine one day, and for no reason the next day it will only keep running with the choke half on. It won't idle or run without...

Does anyone here have genuine experience with comet torque converters versus the cheaper alternatives? Specifically, what is different about the two brands? Is the metal gauge thinner on the cheaper one? Cheaper Springs? Etc. The combined price difference between an off brand and a genuine...
