I can't argue with Denny about the bigger the better for the rotor. I looked into a bigger one myself. However, the way Manco built my 388 make a larger brake rotor impossible for me. In one of my greater moments, I mimicked the construction on my smaller 285 when I restored it. Then I put the...

I have the MCP brakes on 2 of my carts. 6" slotted brake disc. Stops great. I wouldn't say that they lock up on grass, but the definitely lock up in the sand. My pedal movement is about 1/4". That's on my bigger(red) kart with 22" tires. It takes some work, but you have to get them bleed. I...

Looking good! Let me know how it goes.

Just the 1" with the 1/4" keyway. No taper.

You should try Kroil. I think its about the best penatrant out there. Works great on old siezed up engines.

Sure. Heres the air nozzle. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Pistol-Grip-Blow-Gun-HDA50400AV/100064491, 2 some very small hose clamps,https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-8-7-8-in-Stainless-Steel-Hose-Clamp-6760595/206261538, Here's the bleede kit I bought. I used the master cylindr cap from...

One more thing. I assume you adjusted the pads so they are just about touching the rotor. If you have them set too wide, you will have to push the pedal a bit further to stop. A lot of the brake rotors out there are only 1/8" thick. I searched for a 3/16" one. The calipers come wide enough for...

With the setup I used I was able to do it by myself. I tried doing it with my wife pumping the brake pedal on the blue one. I thought that would work fine but I ended up going back to my "air bleeder". I went back at it a few times until I got it right. If your caliper is closing but not ot...

I did have some issues at first. I'll se if I have a picture of the thing I made to blee them with air. I know it sounds crazy but if you do it carefully, it works great. I just did my second hydralic brake setup on my other Dingo. It took some tries but I eventually got it to where there is...

I had it made locally. I used 3AN fittings. Cost me $70. I wasn't expecting it to be that much but I do Like it. I'm doing the same brake setup on my 285 Dingo right now. Just got the mounts welded in yesterday. Going to have another hose made tomorrow.

I was going to suggest getting a longer axle if tire rub is going to be a problem. Cost about $100 from gopowersports.

That would cover the new master cylinder.

So I've got things tuned in now on the Dingo. In case you've seen my other posts, this is the 388 with a gx390 on it. My top speed now is 56 mph. She gets up to that pretty damn quick. Tons of power. I've been riding her around the backroads where I live. Just have to watch out for deer! I redid...

Great idea about replying to my own post with more pics. I will fix that. Thanks.

Thank you. Summit calls it Cobalt Blue. It is metal flake. Silver metal flake on the other parts/wheels.

Thanks guys. I haven't painted with automotive paint in about 30 years. It took a minute. I bought a Harbor Freight spray gun and Summit Racing Paint.

I guess I can only upload 10 pictures. Here's some more

Well, It's taken a little while but the Dingo is finally done. 285 fully restored. I'm very happy with the outcome. We call this one "Detroit" due to the location I had to go to in order to buy it. It was a little scary, but I made it out alive. Not a nice neighborhood. I paid $200 for this one...

I'm thinking about advancing the timing. I might try 6 degrees. I'm curious what that would do.

Actually this engine was a did have a 4 wire coil. I replaced it with a hew stock Honda coil. Good idea though. I'm hitting 5K on the RPM's now. I did some jetting. Here's a question. Mt throttle response is great but if you stomp on the throttle from a stand still, it won't will bog down. I...
