Wait for DIYGK member Karttekk. He (or she?) is a font of expertise on such arcane (modern “go karts”) matters. Got a photo of your Hammerhead? Post it here, we’d love to see the current state of the wiring.

That’s a helluva feat considering most roads are domed to let the rain water run off to the shoulders and into the grass. Guess the middle lane is where it’s at for perfect alignment to shine.

There’s a mini jeep group on Failbook and also a Ken-Bar group I think. Might be worth putting in a Want Ad at those places. Not that I’m condoning the use of social media.

A bona fide Ken-Bar JP7 body is probably as scarce as hen’s teeth. Finding one separated from its chassis is part of the challenge. However, if any jeep body will do, you might consider a body from one of those ”jeep” go karts that are all the rage now. The first ones seen were generic (no...

Like Pancho says in post #3, are there indeed ports in the GY6 engines that allow the addition of an oil cooler, some sort of fitting in the block that is capped off when not in use, or do only select engines have that feature? Does the GY6 have a spin on oil filter or maybe a centrifugal oil...

How's this project going, Hardrock?

They're taking over! You Kalifornicationia folks are crazy. 🤪 If you're riding a full size motorbike, street legal or otherwise, that's cheating

Self induced vacuum leak, but if you were testing mechanical function, I guess it's okay.

I question your testing methods. 😐🤔

I like ‘em small, they’re MINIbikes and some (with the folding handlebars) were able to fit into the cavernous trunks of yore (your poppa’s Buick land yacht). I’m 75” tall and don’t mind the smaller ones, they’re fun. You can always start another thread for the other bike. This thread has...

Or just a new needle and seat, OR a new carburetor for those who are not road-worthy. Many times a brand-spanking-new Chinesium carburetor is worse than the old carb. Even after a new needle/seat, I still use the fuel cutoff valve religiously. I’m not talking to you directly, I’m talking to the...

If it didn’t come with an oil cooler I wouldn’t worry about it… An oil cooler is a good idea if you ride in Death Valley arguably the hottest place on earth otherwise I am content with the normal operating temps of our air cooled motors. Oil quality and viscosity is a concern. Good/fresh oil...

Look at post #3 and post some pictures of your engine. Welcome to the forum. :welcome2:

Does it sputter or cough at all while starting? The new carburetor does not appear (to me) to be much of an upgrade. The listing covers a wide range of engines, some smaller, some larger. Just saying. It's definitely an attractive package with all those bonus parts. I'm with Karttekk; check...

I luv purty pink PIGLET!

I think the V-twin is the V-12 of kart engines!

It's been done around the interwebz but yeah, it's a nice sounding industrial engine and the pinnacle of kart engines I guess, especially the Predator version since it is accessible.

Hey Mike have you got pics of your first kart or minibike? And the second question is, can you post them here? (i know the game) :popcorn:

I’ve heard both schools of thought on here (as well as the interwebs at large) as to which is better: the factory carb or factory-style carb and the “motorcycle carbs”. Have heard pros and cons of each and am now thoroughly confuzzled. :cornut: The new bike has those newfangled high speed...

Yeahhbut, can you add a remote choke cable to it?
