Anyone have a few minutes with a tape to get a few #'s?

Nice! What's the gearing on that... doesn't appear to have any jackshaft arrangement?

How much?

That's why I think welding a nut onto the nub of the bolt and using a wrench to turn it out is probably the most effective method.

Plug-weld a nut to the remainder of the bolt and turn it out with a wrench. Obviously, do it carefully and keep the heat low, couple of tack-weld type shots should be all that's needed.

Where is a good place to get the GX 200 clones? My local kart shop has them for $500, wondering if there's a cheaper source?

Some people are just like that, I know of a guy who's entire family is like that - would beat up all usable parts on a car before taking it to the scrapyard just so the fellow can't salvage anything for himself or resale. Spiteful. It might be nicely assembled and welded and sport some shiny...

No idea about the kart, but the master cyl is identical to mine, mounted on an older Birel chassis. If you need to rebuild it, the kits are only $15 but if the piston is in good shape, then you can just clean it up and locate new seals. I got mine at a local hydraulic supply/service center...

Looks like the timing won't work out anyway, the time he said he's available is not what he wrote last night. Last note he wrote "Oh well, crusher it is then.". Whole thing looks like a big chain yank. Go ahead big guy, send it to the scrapper. I'll look for the new listing on kijiji in a...

I figured it was way overpriced... there's nowhere near $1k of steel in that and I'm sure the other parts won't drastically raise the price either. Last week, he said he wanted $500 for the engine alone (I'd offered him $500 for the kart). Last night, he emails me and says he'll take not one...

Local is trying to sell a home made kart.... what do you think - reasonable price or not? What would be fair? For comparison, I've got a line on a used single seat yard kart with a new 6.5hp (chinese) motor for $5-600. I'm sure this one isn't as pretty as the pic shows, considering he says...

I could use a proper tool as well, but in a pinch, I've just (carefully) ground off the heads of the pins on the link I wanted to remove and pried off the plate. then reconnected with a master link.

Considering Updating Sidepods, need measurements! So, was talking with another kart shop a couple days ago and they said there's no reason why I couldn't update my chassis to the current technical regs and go run it on the track for the cost of the rear bumper and body kit... the Righetti...

1. I'm partial to the vbulletin software due to widespread adoption and thus, familiarity. Also, easy integration with tapatalk (relates to Q3) which I've already purchased. 2. What is facebook? 3. Very. I purchased tapatalk for access to forums on my phone (browsing the website on a...

Thanks toystory, makes it all clear now! :cheers2:

So, what do the numbers mean? I've been curious about that as well.

My guess is, this old girl has been sitting in pieces for at least the last 10 years. I got her in trade for some large steel that I didn't need, so my son would have a kart to rip around on. Check out the before pics: A couple weeks of tearing into it and getting lots of good info from...

It runs! Took it to the kart shop today as the owner suggested he might have what I'd need to get both the engine and brakes working. He had some used honda parts and got them installed and set the valves up correctly. Did a few other things that needed to be done, found some new orings for...

Will it have the same bolt pattern as the gx140?

I was wondering about that too. The rebuild sheet I saw says to use 600 paper to clean the bores. Figured I start on the pistons with something a bit heavier then smooth with 600. Hopefully I can find some orings to fit. If they still look like dren after sanding, then I'll just order the kits...
