I will give that a try! Thanks!

Nope. Low oil sensor is removed

Hmmmmmm..... Well that would leave a lot of extra money for cool stuff.... I end up on a lot of dirt trails so I was thinking the live would be an advantage, but It's not like I go through thick mud or anything. My one complaint is that when I am at full throttle it kicks in and out which can...

Alright.... Well it's starting to get cold out.... Time to start the mods. First is the repaint and live axle. I'm going to go scrapping and see what I can find to work with. Any recommendations of what to look for?

My bone stock 212 hits 30mph no problem with the governor still on and the weight of the kart + me over 300lbs.

Could also be a 405? Not really sure... I went for a ride the other night and my top speed was 31mph. However when I for to full throttle the engine would kick off and on, Is this just the governor doing its job?

A little digging and it looks like I have a Manco Quicksilver. It's like a little brother to the 415. This name may inspire the paint when I get to that. We'll see :)

Not sure if I need the live axle! Went for a fun ride this AM and it felt pretty good! What are the advantages of live vs fixed?

Went out for a little 3 mile ride this morning on both pavement and trails. Top speed was 29.4mph with an average of around 20mph. It was a blast! Adding air filter, jetting and exhaust to the to do list!

I'm 20 and my little bro is 18. Both over 6' tall so it's kinda funny to see us ripping around in these little things. Awesome! I'll be sure to take a look at it! I already started a Log and plan on updating that as I go. First step will probably be kill switch, live axle and brakes...

Haha no it was an old neighbor that raced stock cars. He had 3 karts so we just split the $500 between 3 of us. My brother's has a longer wheelbase but shorter pedal to seat, that looks like it had a roll cage at one time but was chopped off. The other was a small double with a full cage All...

I looked up the 415 and it looks like that is a double seater... Now I'm curious what it actually is. When I get home tonight I will take a look at the frame and see what I can find!

Haha it was $500 for 3 split with my buddies. No haggling necessary
