I guess you have probably given up now but I was just reading your tail of misery and I have a couple of ideas. My son has been racing gokarts for the last couple of years an we have used both tillotson and walbro carbys over that time they both work the same way so here is what I know: 1)...

Oh yeah that kart in good condition would do a bit over 70mph on the back straight (120 yards) at our local track.

I've bought a couple of second hand racing karts now and the advice about going to the track and talking to people there is very sound. Before you buy a racing kart you need to know your local licensing rules and kart classes. In some places there are restrictions on what class inexperienced...

Might make a good hillclimber when finished. Not for the faint hearted or those laking experience.

That's my favorite thing

How did they spell it back then maybe Kojak

Born with black hair and sideburns according to my mum but it all fell out so you've exposed my secret. In the late sixties I was bald.

A couple if weeks ago I bought my 14 year old son an Arrow AX6 with a KT100J he wants to race Juniors. He has been doing practice sessions at Archerfield to get a handle on it so he can race AKA next year. Here are some pics

Think you might have lost your independence to China with regard to manufacturing. We have in Australia

That's a really tall gear ratio. I don't think it will work very well. With regard to the rear sprocket, more teeth equals better acceleration and less teats equals higher top end speed. So you need to get the ratio right for you particular needs. Maybe a 60 tooth sprocket would be a good...

Yeah I used a caliper similar to this one. You might be able to get some ideas from my old posts "Greg's gokart project". But basically I replaced the bolts that hold the caliper together with ones about an 1 1/2" longer and fabricated a bracket to allow the caliper to slide on the bracket via...
