thanks for the help. i'll take another look and see if i cant figure out which is the oil sensor and how it's supposed to be set up. i just put the url's because when tried to embed them, they wouldnt show up in the preview.

seeing the pic of the kill switch taunting me mad me get up and go try to figure it out. in the pic, you can see 2 yellow wires wrapped around a black wire. no clue why they are there. they dont have anything to do with the kill switch (at least not now). you can see 2 black wires (the one with...

they finished uploading. here she is. a bit dirty and rough around the edges, but it'l be fun ripping around the back yard on. http://s1155.beta.photobucket.com/user/moron88/media/DSCN0436.jpg.html here is the jack shaft. as you can see, i need a chain tool to put on the main chain unless i...

uploading a few pics and a video to photobucket right now. they'll be up in 15 or 20 minutes.

there is a jack shaft and the chain that runs to the clutch had a pin removed because it runs to the inner sprocket. it's easier to just get a chain tool.

i think we have a winner. the ones i was looking at a few months ago were running $80-$130 for the same HP rating. granted, they would probably last a lot longer or at least have a better warranty but at this price, i wont mind as much buying a new one every year (kart meant for kids+220 pound...

got the camera and i'll be taking pics tomorrow. when my sis and BIL came to pick me up today i had him show my how to kill the engine once it started (didnt want to start it and not know how to shut it off; the kill switch isnt working) and he got it running too (it didnt want to start at...

thanks. many people have said the name was fitting, a few others have said i give morons a bad name, but no one forgets who i am!

hehe. you are as bad an influence as the guys on the gun and rc forums. 4 money intensive hobbies, barely any income. that's a teen for you :roflol:

yeah, i'll try to post some up. may have to borrow the camera i traded for it :rolleyes:

i know a bit about rc, been in the hobby for 5 years now. servos can be had for $10 all the way up to $200 and beyond, it all depends on your needs. i'd imagine a bit of torque would be needed, but how much is beyond me. i would imagine you would also want some speed. the fastest servo i know of...

after a quick look over, it looks like i need to do something with the brakes and replace the brake pedal. the steering is quite difficult when i was sitting in it, but that was probably due to being stationary and rusty (not to mention weighing 230lbs). havent tried to start the engine yet...

i finally got my gokart from my brother in law. it is a manco american challenger fox (that's what the decals say) that appears to have the original engine. he had tried to sell it before and the person never finished paying so he took it back. it has 1 front tire off a riding lawn mower, all...
