    Looking for assistance getting my TC pulleys correct

    Getting the 40 series TC set up on my predator has been a pain. Because my engine shaft is so short (2.5 inches?) it really doesn't give me a lot of options with how i can set this thing up. According to the manual the ideal setup would consist of having the smaller side of the driver pulley...

    First test run with the new axle went well. The only issue im really having right now is the driver pulley is getting stuck and wont retract all the way during idle so its grabbing onto the belt while im trying to apply the brakes. a small wack with a wrench will pop it back into its resting...

    I tried the new bearing housing and swapping out the tires and rims and it still isn't spinning straight. Converting to a live axle set up this week just waiting on the parts to arrive.

    Kart won’t accelerate

    My best guess would also be to check the throttle cable as landuse mentioned. the butterfly should smack the screw when you press your gas pedal all the way

    Cost of Metal for frame

    its a little steep but not a complete rip off. If there are very few metal suppliers in your area it could be partially monopolization. The metal may be kept indoors which could factor in to the end price. If the location is convenient for you and the service is up to par i wouldn't worry about...

    bore'd the step down a .13in to allow the shaft through. tight fit as well needed a little convincing. New bearing slid on fine, same internal Diameter but different manufactures. my flange bearing housing (triangular bolt pattern) isn't holding the bearing still enough. lots of play and the...

    what are the chances of me finding a axle shaft with the correct spline, diameter, length etc? I couldn't find anything on the major kart supplier sites. Nor could i find a replacement diff unit for the kart. I think i found links to two but they were no longer manufactured.

    I believe it is mostly original, it’s a Kenbar streaker performance DD9 Right now the only thing holding me back from riding is belt issues. When I try to move forward the driven pulley opens up and then when I let off the gas and the rpms drop the belt gets wedged in the driven pulley as it...

    Purchased a lemon, repair not going so well

    For years i've been wanting to get my hands on some sort of off road vehicle. ATVs and side by sides are a little out of my price range so i settled with a bigger go kart. I found a used one in my price range and decided to go check it out. no issues in the ad and it was passed off as running...
