:welcome2: :welcome2::welcome2: ETA: Would love to see your build, start a thread in Project Log/Photo Gallery if you like.

Dusting the cobwebs off this dead thread...🪦 The only thing remotely similar I can think of and that is in production, is the Azusa seat cushion. I don’t know the dimensions of it exactly nor as precisely as your photo but it looks the part. In fact, you might get the whole bucket seat and...

😮

Wow, blast from the past. *Edited for additional info* Sorry for not noticing this thread but that’s what I would have ID’ed it as. Generic concession kart and I would have looked at Shaller. Man, our forum has gone downhill, no one said concession kart when it is plainly obvious. 🙄 Or it...

When/if you find out or have strong suspicions on its identity, report back. We like closure. :thumbsup:

The document is a great general guide to installing tires, tubes and brakes that is applicable to our use. Not sure of the efficacy of the Azusa drum brake though for constant stop and go use, but they’re probably fine for minor taxiing around the field and of course a landing at the end. I like...

... for Aircraft Go-kart and Minibike use. So Azusa Tri-Star aluminum wheels aren’t perfect from the factory....(oh dear). Most would argue that it doesn’t matter and they are good enough for fun kart/minibike use especially in lieu of the way they are used off-road or on rough surfaces, and...

You may need more photos and of things like closeups of the motor mount, the way it was welded together, the hardware what little there is (steering linkages) as these can help ID the thing... assuming it is not a home made job or a Frankenkart. Does it show evidence of being modified by the...

If you have a live axle kart, they hate turns so a hard yank of the wheel (to full lock) bleeds off speed dramatically.

Neat find. Take off the high hoop on the seat, the goofy paddle extensions on the pedals, the plastic bucket seat and maybe even the engine and it looks like a early 60's race kart. It has a Simplex Challenger flavor or vibe to it with that short steering shaft and the rectangular pedals, but...

Be great if the track was banked for high speeds. Lots of kart tracks are designed poorly usually emphasizing lots of twists and turns over high speed straightaways. I vote for a first person POV with a chest mounted camera to see the gauges and stuff. Then you need a bikini girl to pose with...

I’m a firm believer in kart brakes being secondary to massive horsepower and speed! 🤪 So I make sure I don’t have to use them so much. I see the opposite (brake overuse) in automobiles a lot, people racing to every stoplight and braking at the last minute from 45 mph and smoking their brakes at...

I really didn’t know they were doing this but it stands to reason. How long can you go 87mph? Got any videos that are not first person POV?

Sounds so throaty going through the gears. :cool:

Looks like that bar bisecting the engine bay may have to be cut off for you to even think about putting a 212 in there. Take the measurements off the one on the minibike and see if it can fit in the place provided? Anyways, that’s all a hypothetical and you’d lose all the gee-whiz features like...

It will help us understand. 🤷‍♂️

Wow! 🤯

Only thing I can think of: https://www.diygokarts.com/community/threads/crankshaft-adapters-for-useless-tapered-4-strokes.52950/

I’m dusting off this old thread because this kill switch solution was always genius: https://www.diygokarts.com/community/threads/predator-kill-switch.35160/ TL;DR - One touch of a button connected to the low oil sensor “Gold Box” kills the engine. No need to keep holding it down. You cannot...

Is it actually a road (trail) trip or just bombing around having fun? There’s a guy who posts a photo montage of a 50 mile (round trip) trip on a well equipped Baja Warrior which is essentially a mini motorcycle. He might be camping out there, not sure.
