Wouldn't just burning all the fuel out do the same thing? I know how impractical that sounds for day to day, but for long term storage does the tank need to be empty too? I ask because my 2 sons engines are different. One has a shut off, the other doesn't. So do I need to pick some of these up...

I have not been doing this that long, but I think I have the same clutch off an old engine that came with one of my projects. I don't mind snapping a few pics, while taking it apart if it will help you get yours back together. I have 2 new clutch's so this one will not be used.

My Harbor Freight worked fine on my Frames.

$40.00 bucks.

Is a 36 in axle going to be long enough? I measured the stock static on mine last night to get ready to order my axle, and got around 38". I guess it depends on the wheel, and tire combo your going to use too.

They have been riding all morning. LOL they love them. Pictures to came later tonight. Live axle conversion, better wheels, tires, and new floor. My oldest is all in, he's ready to get to work on it.

6.5 HP Hensim Honda clone.

Thats a lot of money for another persons memory's.

You need a double flange hub. like these. Be sure to get the correct length for your kart so that it lines up with you pinion gear. http://www.bmikarts.com/shop/index.php?keywords=double+flange&match_criteria=all&x=0&y=0&shop=1 I've been doing the same as you. I noticed with the Harbor freight...

So my 3yo, and I were out cleaning the yard today. I had 2 old weed eaters that had to go to the trash. As I'm putting one in the trunk my son says let me help. He grabs the handle and then it hits me. Passenger handle!!! Good or bad idea?

Thanks for the compliments guys. Makes me fell even better about Christmas morning!!!! Yeah the steering radius is small. I've already pushed my 3yo around the yard in it, and to my surprise he was able to steer with no problem. (he has no idea what there called so he can't tell his brothers)...

Got the red Kart up, and running also. The Carb on the original engine was all rusty in the bowl. So I decided to get a Harbor Freight 99cc Predator. More than enough for my youngest 2. 2 new rear tires, and wire up the kill switch. She's ready to go. Steering throttle for my 3yo. Needs...

Quick update. I plan on doing a live axle conversion, add better brake's, Torq converter, or small 4stroke like a xr 100 engine. on the RedFox after Christmas. Red Fox Kart needed a steering wheel so. Got some more grinding to do before its all done. Seats all done. Had to make a hub...
