Is this a thing? I have a Manco Dingo so it's a simple solid axle with a giant gear on it. As we all know, a solid axle with knobby tires will very quickly make a mess of any surface you're driving on. But with an open diff, I might be able to drive across the lawn once in a while without...

My old go kart is about 20 years old. I've been having lots of carb problems lately and one of the reasons is most likely the amount of rust in the gas tank. I shined a light in there and it was just filled with rust. So I need to replace it but they are shockingly expensive. And who wants a...

After about 20 years of running really well, my Manco Dingo's engine started running poorly. It was clearly carb problems and rather than clean it and probably break it, I just bought a new one. I've had very good luck buying cheap ebay carbs for lawn mowers, snow blowers, etc. I've had other...

On the last episode of "Subaru Robin EX17 Problems": http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=37529 I could have sworn I had another thread about this but I cannot find it. So I started having trouble where the engine was jammed, I couldn't pull the cord. If I pulled on it and let it...

My kart has full knobby tires and a solid rear axle (like most I'm sure). So if I turn over the same spot on my lawn only TWO times, it will be harsh enough to tear it up and leave dirt patches. I was a lot younger when I bought this thing, and now I'm thinking it might be nice to make this kart...

I've got a Manco Dingo with a Subaru Robin EX17 motor. It has been running great. 1 or 2 pulls, and it starts right up. Even though its getting close to 20 years old. So it had this little phase where, for a while, when you would shut the engine off using the little red On/Off switch, it would...

So theres another thread about putting a reverse transmission on a Manco kart, which is something I've wanted to do since about the late 90s. So I did a little googling to see if I could find that comet gearbox any cheaper than $245. Well, I didn't. But then I found this and I'm curious if it...

When it comes to ATV use (yes I'm counting off road go karts in that group), there are a lot of grey areas when it comes to access. But those grey areas turn black real fast when your kart is screaming like a chainsaw. I want my kart to be more.... discrete. My options for riding will open up a...

Greetings So I have a Manco Dingo 286, with a Subaru Robin EX17 engine. I recently cleaned it up after letting it sit for a bunch of years and it's running great. The kart came with a headlight. It fell off from vibrations pretty quickly after I bought the kart (some 15 years ago). Now I want...
