Damaged sprocket

Arms doing better. Took the cast off, but muscles are sore from not being able to flex for so long. My brother came over and we pulled out the gokart, he took off and then the chain started making a weird noise. Took a look at the jackshaft, and the sprocket is really worn. The 10 tooth...

Nah, I have tons of toys. I may try and trade it for a 4wheeler, or dirtbike. In the mean time I plan on putting nets, fixing the brakes, and replacing a front tire. I have 6 weeks before I hop back on.

Yup. Arm netting sounds like the next thing. I had not thought about that. Wife said to sell it, I told her she was a part pooper. Looks like I'm out of work for 4-6 weeks. Any guesses as to what a fair price for this thing would be?

All fixed.

Yesterday I guess I had too much fun because after flying through the air going a little too fast over my stock tank, i broke the frame.... not a big deal. Nothing the welder can't fix. But where it broke I need to pull the motor out, and take off the driver side rear wheel.

Well, motor is black, and seat is black. The new brake cable is black.... so did I really need to paint the whole frame, everything that was previously white, red? Yes.

First time trying to upload. Hope it works.

About a year ago I drove by a house and noticed a go kart with weeds growing around it. Stopped by, offered the guy $50, he accepted, and helped load it into my truck. The Murry go kart had a 6.0 Tecumseh motor, bald tires, rusted white paint job. The pull string was out, and would not retract...
