What is your idea of a project?

We’d be happy to help you along the way but you have to be a skilled photo taker so we can “be there”. Don’t worry about lack of skills, such speed bumps never stopped Facebook Fred. He learned to weld the day he unboxed his cheap Amazon welder. Remember, booger welds are real welds. 😁

If you’re looking for a junked, derelict, ran-when-parked two seater kart/buggy for a project, you will be happy to know most fun karts are essentially designed for post-pubescent folks, aka adults. The makers unfortunately didn’t make allowances for the 600lbs people that are common today… I...

FYI: The Manco/American Sportworks part numbers still work for the most part, on the interweb. The bearing in question in the parts list below is reference number 112, part number 5090 “Bearing w/ snap ring” and if you plug ”Manco 5090” into your search engine of choice you usually get several...

To see if it could be done? The real idiocy is trying to profit more than 200 bucks off the atrocity. 🤪

The snap ring sets the bearing depth inside the tube or hub, that’s all it does In a pinch, you can carefully pry up the bearing seals, repack with bearing grease and drive on nearly indefinitely but otherwise the bearings are disposable. They are water resistant but not waterproof...

Didn't even notice the belts, whoa. Can you run just one at a time I wonder? Save gas you know.

Forget all that noise, if ya want to teach, get one of those buggies with the rear view mirrors, headlights, tail lights, turn signals, seat belts, key ignition, dash board and so on. Even then, a poor substitute for teaching... I taught my 8 year old to drive a car. It was a stick shift '75...

Oh dear. I think I've seen one truck powered by a 212cc but not four

Man, thanks for doing that. I'm only one person and it feels like I'm a one legged man at a.... Well dang man, has there been enough time for it to rust or was the buggy purchased used? We may never know!

Just for reference, how much has the kart been ridden since Christmas? Every day since then--Every sunny/dry day since then? How many hours do you reckon? For all we know, the kart might be ridden just like the 24 hours of Le Mans.

How bizarre! Maybe that's a typo..... :smiley_omg:

I wondered what the underside of the fuel tank looked like. You said it wasn’t punctured so I guess we don't need to see it. Technically speaking, you were at reduced risk (I think?) because high speed failure of a thing that’s rotating on an eccentric (con rod and crank) is safer than a...

For the brake caliper, you might need to take it apart and de-crustify it. It’s probably binding up. Maybe part #5 and #10 need attention. I think the Briggs Intek engines must occupy an informational dead zone as they pertain to fun karts. Maybe by the time the Intek was introduced, domestic...

You won’t be the last person that undertakes some land improvement for the simple heck of it. Got a chainsaw and a few machetes? Make your own trails but it may not happen overnight

I think you need to tell him more. He’s gonna ask what SNL is. Kartorbust works for Harbor Freight.

Hey Kools, what’s the footprint of the Ninebot like? Length and width?

If I understand correctly it's intended for metric Europe and/or the rest of the world, not the backwards USA. 🙉 Technically speaking we are “bilingual“ as far as measurement systems go. How many foreign car marques are manufactured here and that still use their OEM metric fasteners and...

Hey, I’ve never seen nor heard of a Segway 9bot; thanks for taking the time to share. Pffft, we do electric as well. They apparently race electric karts now, same chassis style as the gas karts. Times, they be a’changing… You spelled it wrong, that is the only blasphemy. Carts are for grocery...
