    75 Year Old Newbie

    Hello Johnny Reb. I was surprised a go kart track had Mancos. Was it a concession kart track (pay to ride)?

    Replacing Cast Rims on a Manco 405

    If that wasn't a typo, they are okay for the things at the bottom of this image. Personally I would use the solid rubber or flat-free wheels, but for a CART to be sure. 😇

    Happy New Year's Day, fellas! 🥳 Did any of you do any celebrating, boozing or shooting off fireworks? For year and years, New Year's Eve was silent in my 'hood @12:00:00 until recently when folks decided any and every excuse for fireworks should be taken advantage of. 😐

    Replacing Cast Rims on a Manco 405

    You do not, of course, want to use any thing tire related (except maybe the inner tubes) sold by Harbor Freight. These "go kart wheels" are anything but, but you see them everywhere used as kart wheels. They are intended for manually operated or pushed carts and dollies. They aren't durable...

    Hard to pull/crank predator 420

    Yes, normal rotation via the pull cord. I wasn't sure if you had the recoil starter installed or had the flywheel exposed while doing this. There are no dumb questions. The only dumb one is the one you don't ask and naturally assume you already know the answer (or something like that).

    Hard to pull/crank predator 420

    Do you mean spring compressed? Uh oh. Set the valve clearance on both valves when they are closed (valve springs relaxed), with the piston at top dead center--is a good rule of thumb. Use a wooden pencil, eraser end in first, stuck into the spark plug hole and then you can pull the engine...

    Replacing Cast Rims on a Manco 405

    Your Manco 405 is a dead axle kart eh? Might need a sprocket hub.... https://gokartsrus.com/media/wysiwyg/PDF_GO-KART/405-10.pdf EDIT: keep us apprised of the situation and post some pics of your kart. Always pays to have some eyes-on. :useless:

    Replacing Cast Rims on a Manco 405

    There's a 4" for $13.75 a piece in the below listing but those light duty dolly bearings must be pressed out and replaced with precision sealed bearings. 4" https://azusaparts.com/product-category/wheels/steel-wheels/4-steel-wheels/ 5"...

    Shocks

    You can help us help you. Show us photos of the current shocks and provide dimensions. These UTVs are long out of production and they’re not go karts despite being produced by a go kart manufacturer… The key is adapting different parts to keep our old machines running.

    Can I place a centrifugal clutch on the axle instead of on the engine ?

    Super cool trike, numscul. I like the concept of a tiny trike and the proportions you have devised for it; it just looks aesthetic. Now I want to see a grown 6 ft man on it. Hory shet, that changes everything. Here we are thinking that it just isn’t done and you provide an example.👍 Edit...

    Flywheel for 212 non-Hemi

    If the streets you plan to ride on are highly “antiseptic” like paved roads through a rainforest (rain/high humidity keeps the particulates down) and not the streets of Death Valley (airborne grit & sand), the cone filter might suffice but for off road dirt trail riding and basically everything...

    Moved the thread, thanks Master Hack. You mean a Yerf Dog Scout? It's a UTV.... that'll blow some minds. Are the originals coil over shocks?
