That's okay, it can be your go kart. One electric kart versus one larger gas kart. Who will win, father or son?

See if this is any help: Also another older thread: https://www.diygokarts.com/community/threads/throttle-help.46082/

What are you all getting for a shipping quote at BMI for tires or miscellaneous stuff, nothing too big? I know it's based on zip codes and whatnot but with two tires in the shopping cart, lowest I got was $22.27 :poop:

:welcome2::bannana: How old is he?

It's not necessarily too big of an engine, it will definitely have lots of grunt, but unless the engine has been modified and has the governor removed, bypassed or adjusted for more RPM, it won't be any faster than a Predator (was it a 212cc?). They're just not that fast. These are all...

That sounds excessive. You could say the extra RPMs you gave it could wear the belts out faster, like always running your blender on maximum speed makes it wear out faster, but something sounds wrong. I will back up Denny's advice. A genuine Comet belt is recommended. You'd think belts are all...

Here's the last of his kart pics I resized: I think the thing needs about 300 HP.

The Chonda came yesterday the 8th. Delivered by FedEx and the delivery guy was seen treating my junk engine with care. Looks like it was treated well the whole way because the box is almost mint. The engine was double boxed. Each box being double-corrugated, like two layers of cardboard, so that...

Okay folks, we’re not going to let this forum die. No need to worry. The spam and spammers are largely taken care of and more than half are reported by you fine folks. 🤝

It is a genuine Comet Torq-A-Verter? I can't tell (better photography would help) but anyways, it shows the limitations of the "manuals" we have available to us as what is listed appears to be a chain driven jackshaft assembly and not a CVT. We need the real manual. Love the idea of a clutch...

I can hardly tell its bent. Question: can a clumsy passerby bump it and knock it over? I think it needs a healthy lean like any motorbike.

No one really knows these karts, er BUGGIES because they are made in China, the companies make changes like the wind and there's just a lack of info as you are finding out. Then again, most here are aware of the dime-a-dozen air cooled GY6 engine buggies, those are a-plenty. Reposting a few of...

I suspect it is because they are 4284 × 5712... pretty massive. It might be as simple as a forum setting on our end to allow it. You could set your camera to take smaller pics but attachments or opening in a separate window is alright.

You must live out in Wyoming or something where such things are more permissible.

Be a shame if you opened it up, applied power and found out it was no bueno (made on a Monday by a hungover 🥴🍸🍾 employee who enjoyed a weekend bender). EDIT: You tested it, good man.

What does this even mean? Is that Engrish?

Mustie1‘s most recent video on Yootoob has him using his Badland to winch up some sportscars to a trailer on a steep slope and the winch started smoking and quit. I thought “Cheap chinese junk heheheh” but it was the corroded wiring which he replaced. Et voila, good as new.

It’s almost like you could buy and sell it at your cost to some other needy newbie when/if they never get that low again. I forsee a time when they will be double the price because of inflation and tariff wars. They’ll be listed at 249.99 and go on sale for 219.99. Actually surprised that that...
