very nice!

got the engine together over the weekend. started up easy but needs carb adjustment and jetting. also dug out my old jd performance a-arms for a 250r. as of now im just going with a single arm welded to the spindle c bracket with added braces. my only concern is this kart is going to be wide, at...

More parts! My front/rear wheels and hubs. I thought I got 4 1/2 spindles but there only 4, so I had to order different ones. Ill sell these for 25 shipped. I also got my yerf dog steering shaft and my Honda electric starter in. Im going to try and use the R1 muffler to keep it quiet. Picked up...

Got tires in today along with the live axle bearing kit.

Those are Polaris RZR seats. Them alone are worth 150!

8 inch diameter wheels with the front being 6 wide and rears 7 wide. I know ill be running a 18x9.5x8 rear tires but havent decided on tread.

No compression equaled a intake valve spring being weak. I guess he valve was open for the past year.

Picked up the kart today. Im thinking im going to fix this one an let someone enjoy it.

I agree with the chain size. If I use this kart, it will the bare frame only. The more I think about it, the more I lean to using the steel by in the garage. Found this the other day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTBq3bRRQqE&feature=share&list=FL5P9E74vwxys5rR3iOF7dng

I actually havent seen the frame in person, it seems light fr the pics. Regardless, it may serve as a model and parts kart. As for the shaft, its the 1 inch nontaper design. Its funny, we use to have 4 or 5 of these engines sitting in the shop. We would go through a few pumps per engine before...

Hello all, Joining the forum after lurking for a while. Great advice here so hoping you guys can help in the feature. Im a gear head looking for my next score and not wanting to empty the pockets doing so. I had a RZR that I sold last year because no one was riding and I was sick of throwing...
