Thanks, yeah I'm happy with it. He's wore it out last couple days. Nothing do him but to ride me and his daddy, we go about 220 each, that's around 300 lb in the cart, makes me nervous. It handles it well though, but has to be hard on the TC and belt. Been lot's of fun working on it, I may...

: :thumbsup:Yeah, I should have known WD-40 wasn't a good idea in a TC. Sometimes, I type faster than I think. I found some good info on a website about TC maintenance, said to watch the wear plugs to prevent costly repairs. So I may take a look at it pretty soon. Got the master cylinder...

Yeah like 'sid said it's a 6 hp Subaru. Runs real smooth, haven't got to try it out yet. The master cylinder was junk, so got one on the way. Luckily the caliper and pads were fine. Just cleaned it and lubed the slider pens and put it back on. Haven't took the cover off the TC, all I know...

:wai: Hallelujah!!!! It worked. I've racked by brain for two days to figure that out. Anyway, I pulled the trigger on the Hornet. Real happy, got it for $200. It had been sitting longer than the lady said, but that's okay. I was cleaning the carburetor and the inlet was plugged so bad a...

Okay, let's see if these pictures worked.

Sorry it took so long to get back, been really busy with different things. Appreciate all replies, Sid put a lot of thought in his and I appreciate that. About as soon as I hit the post button, I knew the Talon wasn't an option, too complicated. I'm going with a simple cart. I like the...

Need some opinions from people that know carts a lot better than I do. My grandson is tired of his Honda 50 and wants a go cart. Okay, I found a Carter Talon 150 cc that looks really good. From what I have found on this forum and others this is a motorcycle engine, GY6 and CVT setup. He says...

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah, you're right, he didn't say when he bought it. I've not had a chance to look yet, but I may try to find original rods and pedals before trying to switch the 'kart' over. Thanks again.

Went and looked at a Kartco Power Ride go cart, had never heard of one, but I'm a newbe. I'm buying it for my grandson. It has larger tires on the back than the front and its a two seater. Looks pretty good for $200.00 and I think he'll take less than that. The kart has a 5 hp briggs...

Well, looked at the cart Saturday, after seeing the seat to pedal distances that Fab posted, I figured I was wasting my time, but I went anyway. Yea, no way my grandson could've rode it. After reading this forum, I may look for a cheap, smaller cart I can build for him. I had no idea you could...

Poboy, I like the way you think. The guy is a friend of a friend, so I don't want to low ball him to bad. He's supposed to bring it by this weekend if he gets off work, so if it looks as good as the picture, I think I'll offer him $500.00. I've looked at some pretty crappy ones that people...

Thanks for the reply! I haven't learned how to post pictures yet, but I'm working it, and there is no ad, I'm just dealing with him on facebook. The paint looks good, it's the factory yellow color, tires look decent and my grandson is only 5 yo and this cart looks like it would fit him better...

Hello guys. This seems to be the place for go cart info, so here goes. Looking at a Manco Eliminator go cart for my grandson, it has a 5hp Subaru engine. The guy says it has 2 chains, so I assume it has a jackshaft. Is this a fairly trouble free setup? He sent me a picture, it looks really...
