Came to same conclusion from research (and understanding work hardening), so rotating mags (empty a full mag, reload those cartridges into another mag and repeat) is foolhardy. However: it would likely take decades of doing that to wear out a modern mag spring. Lots of spare mags are the...

Paging Doctor @Karttekk Carburetors are easier ...🤫

:welcome2: Standby. Your inquiry has been seen and the next available tech will be with you in a few minutes. Enjoy our complimentary coffee service :coffee:🍩 while you wait. EDIT: Electronic fuel injection... now that’s SPIFFY

FYI, there is a Comet Belt List in the top of this thread. Denny is right. I mean, you very well could need a longer belt, manufacturing variations and such. Get edumacated (on belts)! https://www.diygokarts.com/community/threads/comet-industries.53609/

That thing sold for 3,000 bucks. Nice tidy profit for someone who had it in storage or as a collector’s item or whatever. Probably bought it for $200...

Great back history on the Funder Wheels karts, Jim. We here at DIYGK see so few of them relatively speaking, and they’re always broken almost beyond feasible repair, that it seems an outfit like Max-Torque might not have ever dealt with them. I mean I see the kart as some sort of fringe product...

If all else fails, sell it for megabucks (as Funder Wheels are fairly rare) and get a real go kart. Get a Manco or a Carter Brothers or something and you will easily get it operational, either finding what generic/universal parts you need or adapting what’s unobtanium with metal glue (welding...

What does the steering wheel attachment look like on the shaft? Might be best to adapt an aftermarket “wheel” or even a similar “yoke” that will take traditional clamp on controls better than the factory part. To wit: Butterfly steering wheel

That’s amazing longevity 😏 from a factory new kart and its supplied belt. It’s enough for someone to think “Welp, that’s just how it is. You have to replace the belt every day” and then “I’m putting this thing up for sale and getting something better.” Maybe it’s designed to sell belts? It’s a...

Wild. Used a real one before but if WTR swears by the “toy” one, then I listen. It’s not made out of plastic, is it? I don’t care what the product description says ...

Is that “pit bike” muffler any good? Got a link for that or is it common as dirt? You found and fixed “a" problem or merely changed the gear ratio like WTR said, which was limiting your top speed. If the bent sprocket were a real problem it would be throwing the chain or some such. That...

Water doesn’t compress too well? 😬

Does sound like fuel starvation. If the fuel system (faulty fuel pump, clogged but not entirely blocked fuel filter, etc) doesn’t push enough juice to keep going, it will run a while til it has exhausted the fuel that has trickled into the fuel lines and finally quits after it empties the fuel...

Edited to add: It is indeed a Trail Wagon 200 aka 200 SERIES LUTV and has had several, mainly cosmetic, revisions or names over the years. Might be private labeled for Tractor Supply, etc. Hope the skull emblazoned on the front is not a harbinger of death (or injury). Any kind of rollover and...

Do you have the steering wheel? Post more photos of the kart so’s our kart nerds can see what it needs and what can be adapted and so forth. For the hand controls, I suspect (nearly) any motorcycle clutch and brake controls will work. What is the diameter of the steering wheel rim? If...

Lead Skittles packed loose makes maximum use of the space inside a can. Use this method only if you’re serious. 🤓 The common USGI .30 cal and .50 cal ammo “cans” are best termed “boxes.” Only the Russians and their satellites used true cans, which correlates to a one-use-only completely sealed...

TL;DR. What do y’all use both for storage and haul-age? Most of my steel GI cans (I must be old fashioned) are “storage only” and stacked (albeit not very well) and don’t move, but the same can as an ammo hauler isn’t the best. Got bulk loose cartridges in M19A1 (the ol .30 cal) and M2A1/M2A2...

Trail Wagon 200? American Sportworks? 150cc GY6 engine (allegedly) https://landmaster-assets.american-landmaster.workers.dev/uploads/manuals/UTV/TW200-150cc.pdf

I’ve never seen one naked like this. Knew they were cogged-belt-drive though. Look at the “Turbo Torque” bolt-on apparatus on the Briggs. That’s wild but what does it do? Wonder if the belts are available? They might be a COTS item…. I wonder if JimD knows anything about these.

Any particular part? I mean it’s possible you can scavenge the parts needed or play the patience game on fleabay or the like.
