Is it in running condition. The wheels and tires are a big issue. You wanting to sell it?

Parts are basically impossible to get unless you find one online that is trashed. The sprocket and wheels are the biggest issue as well as the steering column. I just refurbished mine which I’ve had for 23 years. The wheels are a strongly glued two piece system. You can cut the old tires off but...

lol... darn auto spell .... I guess it could possibly be both! I did that on porpoise! lol... this one spelled with intent.

I feel pretty good about using spacers but defiantly an option, thanks.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I didn't intend on using the spacers, because they do look tacky, but was using them to size everything up. When I ordered the new wheels I was going by the tires I planned on using instead of the width of the old wheels. These will work out alright with...

Heavy duty snap ring. Spindle has notch for it.

Is there any danger is using a wheel bearing as an inside spacer? (shown on bottom right image). I could then use 3/4" spacer on the outside. Or, would you use actual spacers inside and out?

I had to replace the plastic wheels for my kart and went with a 2 piece system which then left me with space on the spindles. (New wheels just made differently). I now have about 1 inch of spindle space to fill. Question is do I use 1/2 inch spacers on each side or just a 1 inch spacer on the...

Can someone please help me with a brake band and drum question? What is the correct way to determine what size band to use and is the drum size the same size?

Yep, all plastic body. Since the rear tires hold air I might just replace the front wheels and go with that until the rear tires go. I wanted to have matching wheels, but honestly I'd rather wait until I absolutely have to replace with the rear tires to get wheels for the back and get into the...

Not so much sentimental, really thought it would be a quick fix.... basically cosmetic and new tires. lol The body and tub(frame) are in very good shape so I think I'm going to convert the belt drive to a chain. With some help from a coworker I think it's doable as long as I can switch out the...

Ok, so here's what I'm thinking...please correct me if I'm wrong. So the one image is what it looks like when I took the wheel/tire away from the axle. The plastic on the sprocket fits inside the back of the wheel which turns to make kart go. This older image of the housing removed (image...

I've seen some other Funder Wheel karts which have different wheels on and am trying to find out from those people. problem is, some of the post are from so far back i'm wondering if people are even active any longer. can you tell me more about the inflatable belt to seat? I'm not familiar with...
