    Alternate Gas Tank Options

    I really want to remove the roll hoop on the One Tire Fryer, but the problem is that I have a gas tank crisis. I am looking into Honda GX160 gas tanks, but some of the reviews for the Chinese made ones have complaints about the mounting points being weak. And the nice spun aluminum ones are...

    Unlock Go Kart ID Thread?

    http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=18298&page=3 That's the Go Kart Identification Thread in FAQ & Articles, and it's kinda disappointing since it's only got 3 pages of karts. :yawn: We've had a ton of newly discovered go kart models lately, so I was thinking that maybe we could unlock...

    Plymouth Prowler Go Kart

    https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/d/mc-kinney-go-cart/6918327662.html Found this today. Here's what the owner said: "Go Kart for sale runs good but needs someone who can fix the brake" Very specific. :P They're asking $500 for it, but if it really does run well except the brake. then I'd say...

    Can I repair this seat back?

    This is the original seat back off my yard kart. As you can see, it's had a hard life. :ack2: It's got some small holes in the vinyl, and part of the wood has rotted away, but I'm extremely lucky that it's not moldy! :wai: I'm planning to do a survivor restoration, preserving as many original...

    Yard Kart ID?

    I've asked before, not in a dedicated thread, if anyone could identify my yard kart. I bring this question to you again. The PO says he worked on it with his brother as a kid, and he looked to be a middle aged man. The Briggs was built in '85, but the PO says it's not the first engine on there...

    "Wrong" cylinder head FROM FACTORY??!

    Hmm, well, I, uhm, hmmm........ :surrender: This is what it says in oscaryu1's "My lil 5HP guide..." "An easy way to spot these heads are by the numbers on the heads. If the head has a "10" on the top, it is a 4HP head. A 5HP head will have a number "13"." Regarding cylinder heads. Aaaand, you...

    Do I really need this ugly "roll hoop"?

    You can see in the pictures the janky "roll hoop"(more like a backrest) on my go kart. Not original. And you can also see the original backrest welded into it. Ugly. I was talking with my dad, and he seems unsure of letting me cut off the roll hoop for safety reasons. :mad: Here's why I think it...

    ARC Flywheel Question

    When I think and dream about a billet ARC flywheel, I notice something on all of them except the adjustable timing ones: The ignition timing is always set to 30 degrees Before Top Dead Center. I would imagine that would really screw up a mostly stock engine performance-wise. Is there some way to...

    (Briggs) Carburetor Confusion

    Soo, I finally put the starter back together successfully, but now the carburetor came back to haunt me. I don't have any pics of the situation, but I don't think they'd really help (for once), although I have attached 2 pictures of the parts diagram of the carb. So the problem is: I cranked on...

    Let's Talk Impact Guns

    Impact guns. I LOVE THEM! Specifically wireless electric ones. I just discovered that my dad had one while I was trying to get stubborn hub nuts off, and I probably saved about 30% of my time and busted knuckles in the process. Granted I did strip some threads and slightly damage some nuts, but...

    What kind of mods should I do to my engine to increase torque primarily? I'm not after stuff like 20HP, but 20 ft/lbs of torque would be nice. Please post your idea and why it would increase torque. :thumbsup:

    Chinese products for sale LOL!

    My dad received a bunch of random chinese products in the mail with no transactions on any of our bank accounts and no expecting them. So, he split the items up between us kids to sell on Ebay. Proceeds will go to go kart parts for my kart. Mostly a live axle setup to replace the current BENT...
