Dangerous machine, not as stark a warning as don’t use a hair dryer while bathing 🛀 but it’s a neat sticker. Outside shell damage, what is that? Chipped rims? Azusalites are still available, luckily. Could get by with just a half instead of an entire wheel. You sir are a man on a mission with...

Got nuthin except these coups:

Let’s see the ID tag and sticker. Those rarely survive on any kart

OR you can keep that one-wheel-peel as-is. Everyone who gets one asks the same thing and feels they’ve been cheated out of an extra powered wheel. These karts are getting scarce overall, and that is an oldie but goodie Manco. Makes an ideal pavement pounder and it does burnouts and wipe-outs...

Get this man a DOCTOR! 🚑

Is a transparent or translucent fuel tank an option? The only thing I’d be worried about with a 10 year old and refueling is spillage due to the weight of a typical 5 gallon jug. A person may be able to heft it but holding it steady is another matter sometimes. So use the 2.5 or 3 gallon ones...

In the first video it sounded like the engine was barely off idle when you were moving. In the 2nd and 3rd, better but not tremendously better. The engine isn’t noisy enough. I’d get one of those cheap (or moderately expensive) digital tachometers with the wire that wraps around the spark plug...

What’s the dimensions on the kart frame as it is? If it’s for flat pavement then you can get by straight-chaining it (clutch, sprocket, chain), otherwise a CVT, TC, Torque Converter, Torq-A-Verter with variable ratio belt drive can do it all, off pavement and on. And are you building a Lotus...

Use an emergency-use bottle of fuel. A 1 liter is probably more than enough. If the main tank runs dry, have the youngster dump in the emergency bottle and head straight home. I like the Optimus or MSR brands. Put the auxiliary fuel bottle on the kart with the aid of a tool tube. Use non-ethanol...

Doesn’t look like you need any advice.

Seconded. Welcome to the forum!

Unbelievable!

What the heck?

That rookie crash that Karttekk posted just defies explanation. What the heck, man? 😂

Pics or it didn’t happen! totally not a.i. Never mind, don’t do it. I just read Denny’s post. Hey Denny, what about bigger, like the 5 ton 6x6’s?
