I saw this earlier but I passed it up cause there isn't much to go on. Just a close up of wire spaghetti. But let's give a shot. To the OP ..... it's important to know what make and model the kart is ... we begin there. Take a pic of the whole kart .. maybe someone will recognize it. Take pics...

Video on throttle cable connection. All you need is the 1st 42 seconds of the video, the rest is .... heh !!!

Yeah .. that frame doesn't look all that trustworthy with all them holes. Won't last long with a 180lb rider hitting all those bumps especially without shocks or springs on the front and that swing arm on the rear don't seem right. $50 now but you'll spend plenty more on parts and labor. Any...

Seems like the major problem is mechanical rather than electrical. I jump start my kart and it ran fine ( not anymore ) could be a stuck brake caliper or loose TC belt. Electrical part is to get it started w/electric starter and to stop it ( kill switch ) all others are not necessary ... ie...

Master Hack declared " hijack over " I agree. Maybe we should change this DIY to " Do It Yourway " but keep it to yourselves. It's uncool to bad mouth anyone or anything. A real man drinks WHATEVER he wants. To each his own .... leave it alone .....

Back in the day I drank malt liquor. then lager beer ... now Bud Light, is all I can handle ( no shame in that ) . I'm drinking one right now. Got two hands ... one for turning wrenches and hammering or tv remote ... the other is for the beer. You'r right Master Hack ...... I'm taking a chance...

That's quite alright brother. I am proud to say I am 70yo ( last month ) and still learning. Tell you what ... lets have a beer, some corn nuts and and get back to Karting.

Sorry but CAD is not BS and not over rated. Use by many designers. The method evolved from pencil and paper which you included as being BS but then included in your “ Just Use “ sentence. Make up your mind. Some people just don’t evolve and settle for what they can’t comprehend. Don’t knock it...

I suggested 2" from the hub. But that may may not work depending on what brake system your gonna use. Disk, friction ( brake shoe ) friction ( band ) one of those will need to be near the wheel hub. You didn't include that info in you question so that makes it hard to give you a direct answer...

Yours will end up different depending on what all your gonna use ..... size of tires, engine, type of drive, type of brakes ... etc

Abe Lincoln said pretty much the same thing ........ he was asked ..... how long should a man's legs be .... answer was " long enough to reach the ground "

I've never built a go kart frame but I have built other things. I use Sketchup ( a 3d CAD computer aided design software ), I also use Photoshop to design and be able to move things around to make things fit. If you you don't have access to these, you can also do the same with pencil and paper (...

Don't give up so easy dude. $60 will get you one on ebay ( free shipping ) Give up something else ie.... the lap dances ... give up drinking for a week .... or cut the neighbor's lawn

This video example of a clutch slipping when using a too powerful engine is overkill but the point is that a clutch can and will slip. You said it yourself ... " seems like it's not fully engaging " ...... run it for a while then feel the clutch and see if it is hot. Did you ever see the kart...

Same problem with another person who posted recently. He was using a clutch when he should be using a torque converter. Someone who knows about this will soon see this post, I'm sure you'll get the right advice.

That pic doesn't say much. Can't tell if that is the original stock engine. try posting a pic of the entire engine plus include info .... ie engine make, model gyc ?, # cc ... 150cc .... 175cc..... 196cc, ...... 230cc ...... ? Look for numbers and or letters stamped on the engine. Who...

I had to do this ...... it was like watching a movie at the Imax while sitting in the front row.

My reply was for those who don't have a caliper and can't find their tape. Good observation Snaker and you do bring up some points to consider. This HF caliper is cheap, fairly accurate I'd say but not durable. Not to be used for precision measuring ... ie ... 0.001mm. Not to be stored in your...
