Pretty sure it is either a model 297 Model 403 (originally had a 3HP) or a Model 405 (5 HP). Could be this very one or one just like it (made minor changes over the years): https://landmaster-assets.american-landmaster.workers.dev/uploads/manuals/Fun-Kart/403_operatorsmanual.pdf...

That indeed is a Manco kart. Does it say Manco in the middle of the steering wheel? I am not saying that is conclusive proof (could easily be a Manco wheel on some other kart).

It’s called key stock and comes in various lengths, probably sold by the foot and then you cut what you need. It’s always good to have more than you need in your stash, just like bulk chain and especially if you have a kart addiction. Most keys take up most if not all of the space in the keyway...

Could be the wrong size brake band. Edited to add: I think that is the case. Perhaps it is a 4” band on a 5” drum? They come in a few different sizes, at least those set aside for fun vehicle use. Is the brake band brand new? I’ll have to go look at mine (a Manco kart but same comcept) but...

Oh man, is okay to ask for pics? I stand with F-A....

Bbbbbut the 2 year warranty! That’s impressive. HF only gives you 90 days I think 😏

Not positive but the mismatched wheels are probably factory. Seen the same on Manco product brochures, catalogs and manuals

Roddy Piper is surprisingly good in it and a capable actor. Light years better than someone like Shaq (using another sports star turned movie star comparison) but I guess wrestlers are in fact bona fide actors with all that theatrics and kayfabe stuff. I like Piper a lot.

Then we can address the engine, I have this feeling that it’s stifled and not putting out enough power. I mean 14mph, that’s pathetic even by factory go kart standards. Most are geared for a wild thrill of 25-30mph.

Where’s @Karttekk ? He’s king of wiring schematics and has posted many in the past.

You can also sleeve inner with a smaller diameter tube but it’s harder to do.

It adds character.

I get what you are saying. If there is a part in direct contact with the rubber grease seal, friction there could destroy the seal. However the TC driven pulley, the jackshaft and the inner race of the jackshaft bearings should be turning together. A narrow-width spacer with the same inner...

The wiring is a common issue on those Chinese buggies. We have a few here who can troubleshoot these machines. Standby. I take it the kart is used?

Like it never even happened. You use new or used parts?

By the way, her facial appearance is emulating the aliens in the movie They Live. In case you didn’t know…

Nah, Thepartsguy will know for sure.

Nice photos Squiddy. Your engine sidecover above is missing two screws at about 9 and 11 o’clock. Could possibly have an oil leak there. I get oil grunge everywhere on mine too (almost every single-cylinder air cooled industrial engine). I‘m not even sure these engines can stay oil-free. Could...

@panchothedog what about the axle spacers (first post, middle photo)? What does your Yerf-Dog have in terms of collars/spacers on the axle?How are they situated? Of course you need some collars or spacers (or both) to keep the axle centered between the axle brackets and to prevent lateral...
