I gave Gran_Pann my seized up Comet 40 and bought a new Chinese knockoff for my Manco. I have had zero issues with it and love it.

Ill look into what you said about the breather tube. I was waiting to see if somebody would notice the red spring lol. Its a the proper yellow spring (rusted and cleaned up) just painted red :P I didnt have any yellow. And yeah, its the 10hp HM100.

It seems odd that a type of exhaust port would exit into the air filter where it could just be sucked back into the carb. I get thats its intent, but I dont personally understand it. Wouldnt it be better just to feed that tube off into the open air rather than the carb? Could I?

Oil level is just right. and its def coming out of yhe breather tube.

Had some issues starting it up today. Not sure if the 110+ degree weather is effecting it. Took the air filter off and shot some carb cleaner in and it fired up. Drove it for about 10min and this is what my engine looked like. http://youtu.be/9ndOtku-cDQ...

I had a big issue with my Driver on my 40 series. PB blaster, bench vice, strap wrench and torche wouldnt budge the thing. I replaced mine with an knockoff version. My shop is limited and so was my patients lol.

Thanks! I couldn't have done it with out all the help Ive got from you guys here. I still got some ways to go, but its drivable :) I really just bought it for parts and the roll cage :) If you want to come to AZ Fireman, come on over. Does the idle sound to high in that video?

So I got the kart pretty much done. I think it idles just a little high, what do you guys think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvg8Iaf6Yr8 The breaks still need some adjusting. They are really hard to press down to get it to stop. And the lights worked when I dry fit them to make sure...

Thank you! Its the one thing I want to make sure I get right. Cause if the wheels engine blows up or something else, at least I know I can stop! LOL.

Ok, so technically I was right and the way the diagram shows would be wrong my my model dingo with the housing mount in front of the axle?

So Im finally in the (I broke it, think i fixed it, now Im gonna try and put it back together) phase. When I removed the Caliper originally from the kart and broke it down I laid everything out in order of how it went back together. I rebuild the calipers with new pins and pads. But when I...

Thanks for the reply. I dont plan on going any larger, as the back tires are already pretty big. Its next to impossible to find any kind of other tire besides knobby for the back wheel. The back tire is currently 22x11-8, and the front is 145/70-6(15x6-6?), could I replace them with 20x10-8...

Got a manco dingo 285, I think, its got a 22x11-8 tire on the back now. I'm trying to find a sawtooth style tire to go on here in that size it doesn't really seem to b an option. I found turf tires by Carlisle that are close. Am I stuck with the 22x11-8 knobby's? I figure I can go...

Thank you sir! Ill give it a shot when I get the engine mounted this week and let you know :) (assuming you want to :P) Awesome.

Also, I had seen these in a previous build here. http://www.plasmaled.com/high_power_module.htm But if the kart puts off AC, should one of these be fine then? http://www.plasmaled.com/AC-110V-240V-HIGH-POWER.htm
