I've got a Fox Carbide 7150 came with an external oil cooler (no filter). It was disconnected from the engine and I don't see any place to connect it. All I've got is the cooler and connected hoses, no banjo bolts. Is it really needed for occasional use?

I pulled the driven clutch plate and the inside had lots of corrosion. Thee was no gasket on the cover and the kart was sitting unused for a long time before I bought it . The clutch springs are not retracting completely. I think that's the source of most of my problems. I ordered a...

I pulled the CVT cover and the outer clutch disk is hard to turn. Tap it with a rubber mallet a few times and it spins freely. Once I start the engine and run up to speed the clutch engages but when I let off the gas and back to idle it's still stuck. Again if I tap the cover with a mallet...

shift I've got the idle set pretty low. I don't see whee there is any adjustment to the CVT in my service manual other than to grease the movable drive plate which may be the problem so I'm thinking either the belt is not sliding all the way down at idle due to sticking plates or the clutch is...

It seems to work with just the 4 wires. I'll know for sure once I actually get it moving. When I hooked the red to 12V. it blew the fuse so I don't think it's supposed to have power on it. Stickers on the side say Carbide 15 and everything that I found in the American Sportsworks manuals and...

I bought a Carbide 7150 cart in pieces. Missing the upper swingarm, wiring, hubs, carb, electronics, etc, etc. I have spent the better part of the winter getting it running. I've finally got everything wired and it starts but I can't find anything to tell me what the last 2 wires on the 6...
