Thanks...we loves us some pics :banana: If you notice, most karts keep the "wheel track" in the front & rear about the same So, the first thing, IMO is that the rear axle, shown in the pic, seems to be a bit too wide :ack2: * Another check mark in the "return it" column ;)

I think someone has already recommended returning that axle ...& get something else ...so, I won't repeat it :thumbsup: How about a pic of the kart you're working on ...also, something someone has already recommended ;) * Spoiler Alert: both are good ideas :cheers2:

I'd probably get new bearings too If your kart already has a 1" live axle ...then, your driven sprocket ...& brake drum (or rotor) should be still usable * Depending on "if" you can get them off of, the old axle ...& what kinda condition they are in Look around their web site ...it has...

An axle stub & fabrication will probably cost just as much as "doing it the right way" For reference, BMI Karts have live axles available that don't "break the bank" For example, here is a (3') 36" x 1" live axle (with (1/4" key way) for ~$33.00...

To kinda "follow up" on the Power Curve Sprockets ...here is a video about how to install one of 'em :thumbsup: ~7 yrs. ago)...enjoy :popcorn:

Hey T, For reference, this is a pic of the 75T sprocket that I told ya about ;) ...also, gots a 84T sprocket too Here is an old thread about Power Curve Sprockets (10T x#35) :thumbsup: https://www.diygokarts.com/community/threads/sprockets-for-electric-motors.38425/ Remember this Ez?

Tuesday & Wednesday Update I put ~80 miles on the truck yesterday ...& ~50 miles on 'er today :wai: It still runs about the same (still has a slight miss) ...& still has a bit of Diesel fuel "puddling" around the first (2) injectors So, I stopped by the Isuzu dealer ...& picked up (4) O-rings...

Nice Roadster body :thumbsup: I don't see any suspension ...& whoever designed & built it ...made 'er pretty solid ;) A 48V 1,000W brushed motor & controller would motivate 'er pretty nicely :auto:

Research One of the ladies at the Isuzu truck dealership parts counter (Yup, she's a "chick" but, seems ta do a pretty good job) :cheers2: ...looked up the injector O-rings, for a 4HE1 Isuzu 4 cyl. Diesel engine Well, "come to find out" these injectors have (2) "gaskets" as they call 'em o_O...

Weekend Update I put probably ~5 miles on the truck over the weekend ...test driving for drivability, to see "if" it still had the same "power" that it had & to see if the "miss" would go away It still drives fine :bannana: ...except for the "miss", it seems to have mostly the same amount of...

Hey Fellas, Thanks for all of the input & support :cheers2: ...but, this was the most STRESSFUL (2) weeks that I've had to deal with in a few years :ack2: "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience ...but where he stands at times of challenge...

I got 'er reassembled ;) ...& https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zv_V7jfE9-E

Yesterdays Update It took me at least (4) hours to get that last "stupid" injector out :ack2: It was seized so bad that I broke the "top" bolt (the bolt for pulling the injector) ...then, tried drilling it out (which was successful) ...but, the "piece" of the broken bolt, still wouldn't come...

Hey Denny, The looks of these injectors ...would seem to co-oberate the oil fouled theory I really don't "see" how they could have "operated" in this condition :unsure:

Hey T, This truck is a 2003 Isuzu NPR-HD with ~200,000 mi. on it ...technically still kinda young (for a Diesel) ...or maybe considered middle aged :cheers2:

Hey Denny, Todays Update The (4) injectors that I "pulled" out of the "parts" engine (yesterday) came out pretty easily ...(1) I just pulled out by hand (after removing the "hold down" & nuts) ...& the other (3) "popped" out with a just a bit of leverage, from a regular screwdriver :wai: But...

Hey Denny, Todays Update First, I put a couple of gallons of fresh diesel fuel, in the tank...just to be sure ...then, bled the fuel system...just to be sure ...& got plenty of fuel up to the (2) "Bleeder Points" (that's a "good sign") So, I know that we have fuel, in the tank ...& we are...

The exhaust manifold gasket came in yesterday afternoon :wai: ...so, I got back to working on the truck Before pic * Notice the broken bolt/stud ...still had ta get that "little guy" out :ack2: After gettin' the broken stud out, I maneuvered the Turbo & manifold into place ...& (temporarily)...

Hey T, The "suspense" is buildin' up already :popcorn: Wire colors hardly ever match ...always best ta "trace" 'em down (just ta be sure) ;) Q: That bike seems ta be of the shaft drive variation ...what's your plan for connectin' it to a go kart/cross kart type of a rear axle? :unsure:
