    first kart build in 40 yrs

    Asked for and sold for $450. In hindsight I think I set my price too low. I should have waited until after the buyer did a test drive. I probably could have got a lot more.

    In for paint. If I was going to Craigslist this one, what's your thought on asking price?

    Put a pad of rubber conveyor belt on the shoes. Much better dry and adequately functional wet.

    Put a 45 tooth on the wheel a few minutes ago. Still plenty of giddyup and now goes about 33 mph. I also learned my scrub brakes are worthless on wet pavement. Any suggestions on how to make them more effective?

    Got the bug again when my son gave me a set of wheels from a dumpster dive. Frame is mostly 1.25 inch 14 gage tubing. Running 208cc Ironton with 12 teeth on clutch and 60 teeth on a 10 inch wheel. Top speed of about 25 mph. Tons of fun to drive.
