Did you ever get resolution on this? What about a little more history before you replaced the items--was it working consistently before? I ask because I have this motor on my Yerf Dog, and have been down carburetor row before--cleaning and rebuilding it, not replacing it. Assuming it had...

It lives! Excellent tip--saved me a trip to the auto parts store, thanks! After stopping by Home Depot to pickup new mounting bolts for the engine and jackshaft, I adjusted the valve lash to a piece of notebook paper and started putting everything back together and sprayed it down with some...

Now googling push-rod removal tecumseh ohh60. . . I just got the flywheel off and the key has a line along the side that follows the contour of the crankshaft, but it doesn't really appear crooked or sheared at all. I cleaned up the surfaces and put them back together. Should I be measuring...

I removed the spark plug so I could be sure the piston was at TDC, and lash clearance on the exhaust side is slightly larger than the .035 gauge I have--gap is supposed to be .004 and the feeler gauge set I have goes from .010 to .035, so I need a smaller set to get it correct. So does a...

Howdy, Y'all! So we've been driving the Yerf Dog lately (when it's not raining, anyway) and I finally got around to rebuilding the carb and getting the best idle the kart's ever had. The only other issue I usually have is that my jackshaft/axle/30-series pulleys are a little off as far as...

For many years now, I have had a strong opinion that Ryobi should get into the go-karting business--with their modular 31cc 2-stroke motor and numerous blower, edger, tiller, hedge-trimmer, etc attachments. Would it really be that difficult to offer a go-kart attachment using the same bracket...

While trying to get a couple of nagging issues resolved about my Yerf-Dog--primarily idling and adjusting the base so pulleys/chain are less wonky, I found out that my driven pulley back-plate was broken from the central hub. I live close enough to Go Power Sports in Keller, TX to zip over...

Fraternal, or as I sometimes say--paternal, meaning they take after me!

Always fun to get to know fellow forum people and, in this case, karting enthusiasts! When my twins were little, I think we ended up voting on where to eat or something like that. Since I have 3 total daughters and the wife, one of the twins told me I was "girl-trapped."

Hey guys, Been lurking a while and finally decided to join the community. During the few years I have owned and operated the Yerf-Dog 3002 I bought for my daughters when they were younger, I have experienced more than my share of interesting events and mistakes that could probably benefit...
