I'm assuming correct length is determined by having the pitman straight and then setting the wheels with a slight toe in? How do I rebuild the spindles to have Ackerman? Can these be purchased? If so, do you have a suggested set to purchase and what are the critical measurements when looking...

Picture 2 is of the steering turned. 2 and 4 is supposed to show that I can way oversteer in one direction but not in the other.

The tie rods are centered and are the same length. The tie rod from the left is in the left hole and from the right is in the right hole. The two holes on the pitman arm are perfectly in line so it wouldn't work to cross the tie rods. Are you referring to crossing when it is turned? I believe...

I'm on the final states of my go kart rebuild and am reassembling the steering. However, there is a large difference between the left and right steering angles when turning left and right. The spindle tie in points are slightly bent and the tie rods aren't perfectly straight, but it doesn't...

I am looking to upgrade my air filter on the predator 212. However, without the airbox, I'm concerned about water, mud and snow. Thoughts on how to increase airflow while still being able to go through these elements?

Any reason to keep the separate jack shaft? The replacement TCs have it built into the plate. Seems like that would work and then I could eliminate the mounting plate and separate jack shaft all together.

Have you seen the squatty potty ad with the unicorn? 😂 ---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ---------- If I purchased a series 40 TC, could that handle the lower ratio, say. 5:1 or a 6:1?

Does it make a difference what the axle vs TC tooth count is, or just the overall ratio? For example, if I were to go with a 9:1, I could use a 10t TC and 90t axle or a 9t TC and an 81 axle. Based on my very limited knowledge, the performance would be identical?

My craigslist find came with a predator 212 with a 45t axle sprocket and 9t TC sprocket. I need to purchase a new TC, most of which come with a 10t sprocket. With 18.5" rear wheels, will a 4.5:1 gear ratio be ok? I can't imagine climbing massive hills but will have more fun bombing through...

As long as the heat source is not an open flame, shouldn't I be safe given the high ignition temp of acetone?

New to all of this, so sorry if this is a basic question. I am looking to replace my TC but the driven unit from the comet 30 is stuck on the jackshaft. Is it seized, and if so, any thoughts to remove it? Or, am I missing something that needs to be removed? Note I removed the nut from the...

Thanks! I currently have a 420 chain. Is there any reason to change to a different chain size?

Do you have a suggestion of a good replacement that won't break the bank?

I thought it was a 20 based on the driven hub as per the attached picture. Thanks for setting me on the right track. This is my first go kart.

Just purchased this go kart off CL for $50. After stripping through 5 layers of paint, I found that it said yerf dog. Does anyone know the model? Is it a 3020? I read about steering issues. Does anyone have a suggestion of a good thread that covers fixes, with pictures?

I recently purchased a gokart off CL. After stripping everything down, I found several issues with the TC. It's a comet 20 and I am trying to decide if I should purchase replacement parts for those that are damaged or purchase a new TC. If it would be better to purchase a new TC, what...

Hi, I just purchased a go kart that needs 4 new tires. Would a 145/70-6 tire be interchangeable with a 14.5x7-6? From what I can tell, the 145/70-6 is about 1/2" shorter and 1" narrower. Is my understanding correct?
