Well you're gonna have to remove more links! I'm sorry but if removing links does nothing then you're not removing links. The only other option is moving the engine forward and or up, which is gonna be harder than removing links.

So this thing probably had a 100ccish two stroke on it originally?

Well got a response from Rod within an hour! "Those are definitely Invader bearing hangers as well as spindles on your kart but you should be aware that G.W. Nelson manufacturing (aka: INVADER) sold weldments and parts to the public and a number of other manufacturers. All Invader weldments...

Well look at this! After poking around on Rod van Deusen's website a little more I noticed this picture! These are the bearing hangers for 2000-2006 Invader karts, and I'll be darned if that isn't the EXACT same design as the ones on my kart! Sent him another email to see what he thinks.

I sent him another email asking why he ruled out Emmick so fast because of what I said before with the seat and steering, and this is what he said "You're correct, it may be an Emmick seat but the kart itself is not Emmick. Rod Van Deusen" I also sent an email to Birel with some pictures...

IIRC most yard kart axles are 1" x 38" long so look for a 38" long one! :thumbsup: Glad to have ya back Spindle, you were like the original "kid" on the forum. Since then there's been a bunch more including me, Budget Gokart, and Karts of kaos.

Eeeeyyy it's Mr. Spindle! Is it a Dingo or a Baja? You say it's a Dingo in the title but a Baja in the post?? :huh: Do you have the old axle on hand? Because you could just measure that. But I'm guessing you don't have it.

Yeah I noticed I haven't seen any steering uprights like this one, hopefully that'll help ID it. I just checked, the axle is a hollow 1 1/4". MCP brake master cylinder and caliper. I contacted Rod van Deusen, the owner of this website: http://www.vdm46.com/ And he responded to my email! This is...

Yes definitely! Especially with how low it is the sheer volume helps drivers know I'm there, but I don't take it out on busy days like weekends. I make it standard practice to drive slow when there's a car going by and yield to the full size cars, and of course I had to wave the other kids out...

It actually tracks real nice and straight, but I might add some caster to the front left to match the right and help it track even straighter. The only reason it looked squirrelly in the video is because I was driving one handed and I just wasn’t ready for how powerful it was! Yeah pretty much...

Ahhhhh, yeah you answered my question! I thought it was Dzus fasteners, but I wasn't sure.

You sure? Looks OK to me. In the video footage at one point you can actually watch the frame flex and rise when I turn the wheel right, I pointed it out in the video. I just checked and the front right spindle has considerably more caster than the left, maybe that has something to do with it...

Really low resolution, but it shares considerable similarities with this picture of an Emmick Cobra! Look at the front end, triple bearing hangers, and the steering column where it mounts to the frame, looks pretty similar! But it does look considerably shorter than mine with a lot more steering...

Ohhhh the JEALOUSY!! :eek: Maybe there is something good about those Chinese hunks of junk!

Oh yeah, this is the number plate that came with it. Number 33! Can't quite tell if it's etched on or if it's a decal, I'm guessing it's a decal.

For reference, this is the number plate.

This is a simple question: How do I mount the number plate onto these tabs? I have no idea how to mount to these!

So I'm trying to ID the "Green Monster", so I figured the best way to do that is to start a thread dedicated to it. In short: Anyone know what race kart this is?? I'm 80% sure it's an Emmick, since it says Emmick on the seat and I see some similarities with other Emmicks, but I'm not certain...

Even though it was a bit rainy today I had to get it out to put it in the backyard temporarily, so I figured it'd be a shame not to stretch it's legs a little bit. So I took it up and down the street around 1/2 throttle, got some nice pictures of it out in the open as well! All the water that...

Well, given those decals looks like it's a Clark 667! :lolgoku: Looks original given that those decals are still there, which implies it's the original paint, pretty neat! I personally don't know much about Clark Mfg. Corp, I know they used to make some race karts back in the 60's, and...
