i was lucky to have finished up with everything i had to do lol so i took it easy and tried to get over this before friday. im leaving for vacation to florida then and id rather not be sick

Got the cart back to a rolling frame today. The belt also came in . I was hoping to have been done by the time the belt was here but I caught a cold and was in the bed all weekend

:thumbsup: that is one neat little trike!! im excited to see the finished product.

:thumbsup:thats exactly why I went with red to be different. Actually my neighbor has a blue clark mfg single seater lol but its an ugly shade of baby blue. I wanted to go with blue being that its my favorite color but the red just stood out

I was thinking about that when I was getting paint lol . Most of the time you see everyone do it black and I haven't seen to many red karts

Painted the frame today. Its a gloss apple red and I'm doing the cage,pedals,rims, and seat black with the red and black predator engine. think its going to look very sweet when finished!!

That's one sweet looking cart Fabroman!! I finished up stripping the frame today as well as making a modification to the gas pedal mount. Before it would fall straight back. I took a piece of flat stock and cut out the L shaped piece to weld on the mount. It works great now!! The pedal doesn't...

Yes I do hate that lol we have had a good bit of rain the past couple months. Sorry to hear about your ankle :( I know that has to hurt. What are you building if you dont mind me asking?

Picked up this Murray explorer A couple days ago, put a new motor in and rode it a little until I figured out I had the wrong belt :( well since I'm waiting for a belt I might as well tear it down to clean up , replace anything and paint. Pics of the progress as it comes along :thumbsup:

I really appreciate all the help I'll measure the distance between driver and driven then order the correct belt now

I have noticed that my belt on the torque converter is slipping. I'm almost positive that the belt that come with it isn't the right one but I wanted to ask just to be sure. Its a comet 30 torque converter on a Murray explorer

Thanks everyone :thumbsup: Pics will come tomorrow. I picked up the predator 212cc today after work, mounted it up, put the new front tires on and took it for a spin. Completely forgot how much fun a gocart was !!
