Rebuilding, you mean? Or are you building a replica? Tell us more. Have seen some art deco looking brakes...

Thanks for this thread, Damiango. Too easy to forget this great sport in the daily hubbub or distractions of life. It is great fun to spectate.

I better research this machine. When you said you sat in it but were not perfectly comfortable, I figured it was a “kart", “buggy" or *ATV* which these low-to-the-ground but well equipped with key start, full lighting, F-N-R machines are turning into. Kind of blurs the lines on how you identify...

There are no votes for the 79cc, I did not vote for that little engine no one buys. The 212 6.5hp is the default engine of this forum and it was the 6.5hp Greyhound before it (the blue engine). But there’s a growing chorus of larger “displacement freaks” here… :roflol:

Heyyy... I’ve seen that trike before. Good stuff, good bikes! :cheers2::welcome2::wai::welcome2:

And yet: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Dl-VoJN6mng Show us the Manco. If it’s a two-passenger kart, the 79cc won’t have enough grunt, but for the simplest of karts, one rider style, the 79cc is “adequate”. Your daughters will grow with the kart, growing in stature and growing in confidence...

You should do an un-boxing and first impressions review when it arrives. I know I’m a stickler for terms but I think I prefer “buggy” in this case. A UTV is a glorified adult golf cart with off-road capabilities. :stir::roflol: For most people here, the fun vehicles they get are already falling...

Poor fella, he had so much potential. 😢 We have too many one-post-wonders.

I’m just a glorified hall monitor with a ban hammer. Where’s Grorious Reader?

Like Landuse said, it’s risky putting all your photos here or on any forum for that matter. Forums and other websites go belly-up/defunct all the time.. or change software. I read tons of older threads and most of the picture links (off site hosting) are broken and/or the site URL (go kart...

You better proceed with this illustrious project Mr Budget, forget about the steel boat, etc. 😀 Proof of concept is its own raison d'être. A high performance motorized bicycle is inherently useful for getting about.

What are you using to measure your speed? Just curious. This is a great one-post reply on the CVT, belts and issues thereof. Nicely done. That could be a “canned response”, something you could copy/paste ad infinitum. 🏆

Where do you ride? Looks dirty and gritty. All other concerns aside, the piston rings may be toast because that is not a good air filter (it’s for “clean” street use in the tuner/ricer frame of mind)... Show us pics of the CVT and belt (we have guys here with trained eyeballs). Nice overall...

Yeah yeah, sure. If you love it, you’re allowed to hate it or hate the state it is in and fly the flag upside down because of the current state. I used to like that "love it or leave it” saying, but it is so cliché now and needs some caveats and yeah-buts. This isn’t really an emotional feeling...

I finally watched this. EGAD! That’s about the dumbest thing I have ever seen, concerning karts at least. To stand in defense of the poor fella for a second, it seems a possible stuck throttle might have occurred, but that’s no excuse for the guy’s steering skills nor the fact that his foot...

The rest of the world has a 4th, it’s between the 3rd and the 5th. Happy Independence Day! :cheers2: to those who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor in that endeavor. We owe them so much. 56 men who signed their name to the Declaration (many many more were involved who...

Ugh, need a cross reference list of Manco/American Sportworks/American Landmaster fun vehicles that are otherwise China buggies and use these engines. There were a few of them, I understand, that existed before they revamped and got out of the fun kart business... So many of these are...

I'm thinking he needs to join the 21st Century, Denny, and seek out an OHV or OHC engine of similar size. They should have plenty of such China engines there in the Netherworld 🇳🇱

Blammo! Ya got me, mate 🤭. Outstanding friction drive thingamabob. Yes, you are crazy! I’d be worried about slippage... EDIT---> so I naturally thought it was chain or belt drive, you know, something SENSIBLE 😂 As for your spring conundrum, can you adapt other springs to fit and possibly...
