I have no idea about these things but it kind of looks like an old two seat streaker with modified struts for off-road. At least the steering wheel and seat appear to tell me that. As far as I know they were also big on using tecumsehs

If there’s junk in the gas tank, that will gunk up your clean carb. My tec is a 5.5 but has a plastic tank which is ideal for not rusting like my predator metal tank. My tec is a 2008 and it stalls regularly and I eventually replaced it with the pred because it completely lacked the power to be...

I just got a non hemi not too long ago and I was concerned about the governor myself. I’ve been backing the throttle limiting screw in and out and using a tachometer to see how it effects the gov. I posted a video of my findings but my engine will turn 4400 rpm with the throttle screw all the...

Speaking of types of metal, I’ve been considering doing some beginning welding and I think non hardened steel is easier to work with. Are most kart frames made from non hardened steel? I’m pretty sure mine is an old streaker kart so it’s fairly popular.

Cool. I got some turf savers with less tread than the Kendra’s but I’ll probably go for those slicks too. Like I said, asphalt has been popular with my kart but I still like to do some non muddy trails so I bet those would be sick slicks.

Blew a Kenda 13x5x6 on the front right and need replacement ideas because I need a more all-around tire. I originally was just using it on turf, but now that I have speed, I've been using it on asphalt. I've seen a lot of turf slicks but I think those wouldn't work well on asphalt if they don't...

Got my tach. Did 0%, 33% 50% throttle restriction, out of order. Did a lot of idle samples. Took a video which will be at the end but I didn't pay attention to my screen orientation so it's not fun to watch but the data is there. Here are some screenshots of the stuff: Tach install...

I’ve purchased a tach that will be here Thursday. I’ll do some testing with the bolt in and out.

Mine (in question) is a non-hemi bc it has the shinier aluminum valve cover.

I've got pictures galore, Tony Schiavone! Tried to get some of everything. The chain is probably a link too loose. It's a tight fit Alignment...the chain is a bit loose and I can't fix it right now. The more I look at it, the more it looks wrong. You can see some of the teeth on the 10T. I...

I misspoke. It is a 10T with 40 chain. Another question though, the engine sits pretty close to the axle teeth which made the chain pretty short. However I’m not sure if that is limiting my tensioning abilities with moving the engine forward or backwards. I just painted it so it might just be...

I’m not concerned about getting over 40 honestly. The low end power is a dream, it goes right when you hit the throttle. I just want to be sure I’m not over revving and that 40mph was attainable with a pure stock motor such as mine. If I were to slam the throttle, the chain skips which means I...

My wife bought me a predator for Xmas and I put it on my green bastard gokart. I’ve seen several posts with similar setups and they report a top speed of around 30-35mph. All I have done is back out the throttle limiting screw so the arm can fully extend. It still has the governor and everything...

Green b@$tard broke a weld on the engine bracket :(. What I want to do is take off the engine and use JB weld. Other ideas would be to buy some metal and bolt it back on or take it in to a shop and get it professionally welded back together. Anybody think JB weld will work or do I need to get...

After I got the green b@$tard to run well, it became painfully obvious that the seat cushion was useless and a new buttholder was needed. I decided to take the old seat off and restore the seat frame adding 3/4" wood, 3" foam, and vinyl. Original seat, dry rotten - the back support slid onto...
