I have not tried to start is, as the fuel lines were cut, and with the condition of the air filter I was afraid of doing damage - it is not seized - I can turn it over by hand, I am not familar w/ these @ all, how would I know what's stock or not when I open it up?

I have a KT100 motor built by Stencil Racing Motors - which after searching around I have found out was a great motor builder in California in the 80's and 90's. The motor needs to be gone through, I can work on motors, but have never done anything w/ 2 strokes, so I had a friend talk to his...

I have all the steering linkage, and parts, I only need replace the bearings, and fix some rust issues w/ the steering uprights. Does anyone have an idea of the make and model of this frame? Also the kart came w/ a brand new wet clutch, but the old one is stuck on the shaft. if you look @ the...

I recently purchased a new kart - it's shall we say a project... unknown make/ model, has a KT100 built by Stencil Racing which is going to need an overhaulin', brakes frozen, crappy homemade master cylinder mount, after searching the forum here I found how they are supposed to mount, and will...

dam those pesky decimal points. I've got some 1" sanding wheels, I'm going to try to modify one (the bearings were only $1) but will be ordering 3 more if that fails.

below are descriptions of the new axel and axel bearings I just received. I cannot get the bearings to slide onto the shaft, I can get them about 1/8" on to threads @ the end of the shaft. I don't want to damage the threads or new bearings. So I ask the experts..... what's the trick? Axle...

what is the best mothod for removal and replacement of the front wheel bearings on a yerf dog kart?

The previous owner was crafty, but unskilled - between the homemade shaft, screw driver bit turned shaft key The belt they had on it worked but it wasn't even close to a proper belt (I am learning this all after the fact) I looked to me like the back plate on the 30 series driven has a slight...

update - I purchased a better gear puller and got the back plate off the motor shaft, but it is now concave, so I guess I'm buying a new drive unit, the brake drum is out of round so I still need to remove the axel to replace. Still looking for ideas or help on that one... another question -...

I recently purchased 2 go karts for my kids (or so the story goes) a Manco, and a yerf dog, both 2 seaters. The yerf dog belt shredded so I started removing the TC - after much swearing and frustration I got the movable sheeve of the drive pulley off the shaft of the motor, the stationary...
