So far so good! Haven't had much ride time but they seem pretty solid. ---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ---------- Yeah I should have done something similar. RIP to my seat :ack2:

Yeah ya know I just ran out how the manufacture ran it. I figured with kids riding it that no harm done with keeping it on the inside.:roflol: LOL :2guns::wai::auto:

So yeah for my first kart restore, I'd say it turned out pretty well for restoring it on the cheap.

1990 Manco 405-00 New: Motor, Seat and Tires Everything else is orig. :cheers2::auto:

Let's just say that the stitching was no longer centered and the threads and staples started popping as soon as someone sat on it :huh: and they also cut up the seat and tried using it as padding.... it was rough. RIP

Tried to keep everything as original is possible. Wire wheeled all the hardware, tie rods, pedals etc. worked well for keep cost down. Unfortunately, had to cut the seat bracket down in the back due to the new seat being much shorter than the orig.

The orig seat was actually chewed up at the top. Tried to pay some to refurbish it but they hacked it up so I was stuck buying a new one :censored::mad2:

Side-by-side comparison

Before, During, and After!

Well guys, here she is. Pretty impressed with this cheap harbor freight motor!

Current status. Got the front end assembled, motor mounted, throttle cable ran, rubber mat glued and all parts cleaned up. I am now currently waiting on new seat, brake band, tires and rims from gopowersports.com.

Says that code has been disabled! Thanks though

Ended up having a busy evening last night so the progress was minimal but got the tie rods on

Measured the bearings and they are 5/8". I put together a wheel setup on GoPowerSports. What do you guys think? I am going to use the front rims that I currently have. Anyone know of any promo codes? The shipping is pretty expensive on these. ($22)

Wouldn't I have to convert to a live axle then? Currently have a single wheel setup
