So I did both of those annd... nothing What else? It can't be the flywheel key can it? It doesn't spark at all.

Okay so some updates.. I was never able to remove the wheel, but now that I think about it, I don't need to. I used penetrating oil on the chains and sanded off the rust on the brakes. Also removed the swaged ball so if all goes well, I can swap a new one in and the brake system should work OK...

Alright so the wheel still isn't coming off. I'll try some other methods a bit later. How do I get this swaged ball out?

Thanks guys. I'm from Canada, but I'll try to call in anyway! Also thanks for the info regarding clutches.. my location might disrupt that intel as well but we'll see. This is a later concern as the engine does not even run! Some updates on the kart: - Got PB blaster, sprayed the wheel...

Thanks guys. So I've found these: http://www.bmikarts.com/Throttle-Cable-with-Swaged-Ball-54--56_p_1797.html http://www.bmikarts.com/Bulk-Cable-Conduit_p_1830.html Should fit with no problems... but how do I get the swaged ball out of the kart?

Haha, stupid me. Thanks, I'll try that when I'm home. Any ideas for the brakes though?

Yes, should I be taking it off right now? Will soak it, thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the help everyone Will do the sanding and spray it with penetrating fluid. I tried to get a hammer in there but the rim is completely inaccessible from the inside as this is the drive wheel Regarding the brakes, I've attached an overall photo of the brake lines. Hellion is...

Ahh thanks for the tip. I'll pick some up soon, but the wheel should just come off correct? I'll get some better pictures when I can

Here are the pictures.

Hello everyone, Recently picked up a go-kart from craigslist. It's in decently bad shape and came with a non-running 3HP briggs engine. I wouldn't mind replacing the engine if I cannot get it to work, but there are two things that I'm stuck on. 1. As seen in the picture Wheel1, I removed the...
