This is my first one, and I can now confirm that first hand haha. Gunna have to get some bigger tires to try and get a little more ground clearance, and gunna take the side plastics off but other than that I’m happy to finally have something ready to run since I don’t have a ton of time with the...

I will have to double check for sure. Iv taken it for a few short rides, it definitely rips, hard to keep traction on anything but blacktop. Needs to be into the rpm’s to keep it moving so likes full throttle lol

Just a cr80, I looked at a kart with a kdx200 but the frame was cut and the guy said it was mint after I asked if the frame was cut so I had to pass on that one. And the guy I bought it from said cr80 and he was an old guy so I believed him, but I have no proof that’s what it is

So the wife let me bite the bullet since we sold our house and let me get another kart. The boys are still beating the crap out of theirs and I’m still ordering parts here and there to complete my dirt kart and since I couldn’t find another dirt kart I had to have I did find a shifter kart I...

Iv seen people hose everything down with wd-40 before

I put a new clutch on my kids kart I made and after a few weeks it started to rattle also. Snugged the bolt back up and the rattle stopped. Making sure everything is tight is where I would start.

I can’t get enough of them now! Dirt chassis all the way 😂

Finally got everything moved and welded and in a quick coat of primer.

Found one! Out of stock at the moment but the guy said they should be in by the end of the week. Going to try and get it running with carb that is on it first but glad I found a good alternative

That’s a good read! This one will need a starter, I talked to the builders daughter and he is supposed to give me a call back so I can see what exactly is done to it without opening it up. The other one I am building is going to be very mild and will be a pull start. Figured I gotta get the wife...

Doesn’t necessarily have to be a Mikuni, they are just reasonably priced and people say very easy to tune on hand. I have 6/7 of the originals for rebuilds or parts, just looking for some more cheap upgrades. Tilliston is outta my price range lol. Also yes it is methanol, I bought new jets so I...

Anybody do a Mikuni swap on a Briggs 5hp while using a 15 degree mount? I contacted Ec carburetors and they said they don’t make the correct intake anymore because more people use them on mini bikes than race karts. So looking for anybody who has found a different brand. Thanks

So with the wife having decided she definitely wants to move, haven’t had much time to do any work on the kart but picked up another engine tonight for $80. Supposed to be bored out and have been in dry storage for awhile after a friends kid stopped racing but I’m excited to see if it runs and...

Picked up an old gokart racing lot with some sprockets, 3 5hp Briggs engines with some work done but need to be assembled, and some other stuff. Sold one item for half my $ back already so looking good there.

Thank you I appreciate it. This site has helped immensely! Definitely learned a lot, will make them wear a helmet when we pick up up for sure as me and the wife were discussing it anyways. I definitely am a hardass then it comes to screwing off on stuff like this so they have already been warned...
