Not even sealants like Loctite when tapping a case from the gov port?

The thought crossed my mind as well to ask them. Thanks, I'll shoot them an email

First update: So I got the Clutch Mount with Jackshaft today from BMI. Before I mess something up, I thought I'd get some incite here on the proper way of inserting the shaft. Should I remove the bearings and put them on the shaft and then install shaft and 1 bearing and then slide the 2nd...

I'm not intimidated to access the case and to remove both sides, infact I'm just about looking for any excuse to do so for the experience and knowledge! When the day comes I remove the gov, I will for sure go that route.. here's a great video on doing it the way you suggest. VIDEO That being...

Hey so I watched these videos and others as well, and I still cannot come to grips on if it's good to remove the governor, for more rpm than you can get with it still in there or if makes more sense to leave it installed but to open it up as much as possible?

So funny you said this! It was one of the welders I had originally sourced, coming form Northern Tools. I like the store so thought it respectable at least. It will make the difference to me though, if the Titanium will make cleaner welds

I'm new an all and not the most experienced, but am I the only one that thinks the wheels are setup strange? I am guessing the rear were small for scrubs and considering they are warn bare but why are the fronts so big? OP, are you gonna change breaks maybe even put a live axel on it? I am not...

That's freaking awesome! Where does the motor go, in the front? or is that an electric motor I see on the back? I've not gotten into electric yet, still getting my feat wet with gas! So, you're now using the 125amp flux welder from Titanium, I was just trying to decide if the $140 for the...

I was just coming back to correct my question about welding, I have done Tig Stick welding, not Mig! I am in the process of learning about the differences in each of them, thank you for the input about Flux welding, I will look into this!

Absolutely sound advice! From the pics, the red one looked to be pretty good from the pics frame wise.. I'm wondering if I might get lucky on the engines, current owner just not knowing what they're doing lol.. but who knows, even busted motor completely intrigues me about them, especially the...

Can anyone tell me the make/model these karts are? I'm considering picking them up. The red looks to have a decent setup going on and with a little attention could be a great addition to my new hobby! The seller wants to sell them as a set for $350 obo, so I am definitely interested. Any...

My 8yr old son and I have spent the entire day doing just that with all of our small motor equipment. Doing maintenance and cleaning out carbs on a blower I thought was dead (only to find a small leave in it that caused it to not run for so long!) We've had a blast and working on his Kart has...

I think that's getting into another level of modifying karts that will be a little while before I start exploring with. Would be fancy enough for me to have key' start on it and a battery for accessorizing with things like Lights lol But from what I've read, that's where it becomes beneficial to...

Cool, this makes me want to pick up an old one to play with and see if I can get it running! So the Subaru is the original motor that came on that kart?

Can't believe I forgot to comment on this part! First time I cranked it up with the first belt I had ordered, I walked over and just tapped the throttle while standing next to it, and ended up chasing it down the hill before I slammed the break peddle just before we ended up in the lake.. My 8yr...

I've done some yoga, but not enough to get all the analogies precisely but I think I get your point. Would you be willing to advice on the proper adapter necessary for my kart to add a high air filter to the stock carb on my predator 212cc? As well as a recommended free-er exhaust? The bigger...

Here is the one I ended up getting.. it appears to be the same thing and has a broad purpose as well, but doesn't work with 60 chains.. I also don't see replacement pins available from GKS.. Hopefully, it works out to be good enough. Before I tore everything down and had ordered my first...

Ok, I ended up ordering the blue one from GKS, so hopefully it will prove to do the trick. Thanks for the heads up about the one from BMI, I considered it before but haven't seen anyone using it so moved away from it.

I think the bolts and washers I took off are still in pretty good shape, but if it comes down to it, you're reference will be great incase I do have to get new bolts. Thank you! The previous reference to the Converter chart at GoKartSupply was very informative and almost word for word of what...

OK great, I am actually following you both then! When I get home, I will confirm I have a #4 of sometime with a 1/2" tooth spacing. I have been sourcing proper lubes, it appears that Comet Spray Lube has become nearly impossible to find. Did they discontinue this? Is there a close alternative...
