Its been a bit, Im here in Phoenix AZ and we've had 100+ degree weather lately so not much time in the shop. I did get some progress done on the Kart. Completely stripped the kart, cleaned, sanded, primed and painted the frame. Cleaned the carb and replaced the float. New ignition coil and...

Thanks! I got my TC ordered up and im coming up with a parts list of things I know need to be replaced. Two more questions; 1. The jack shaft has a 9 tooth gear and the axle has a 54. What does this equate to in tearms of top speed or low end torque? I want to be able to swap tires and...

That's exactly what I did. Locked only the nut in the vise. Ive been do all these steps, multiple times a day for almost a week.

Here is the part of the Comet 40 I cant get apart. I read a thread on here about putting the welded on nut side into a vide and using a chain wrench to turn the opposing side of the pulley coynter clock wise. After much wd40, penetrating oil, heat, gental tapping with a hammer and a rubber...

I really cant believe Ive taken this part of the TC to 5 shops, 5, and nobody wants to touch it. Two Kart shops and 3 small engine shops. With the gas Ive spent, Im almost ready to drop the $150 and buy a new one... oi vey.

I got the TC off but Im having issues getting the clam shell part apart. I read a few threads on here about the Comet 40 and them being threaded. Penetrating oil, a little heat, nothing has worked. Got a rubber strap wrench but that's not doing the job so going to take it to a lawn mower...

Sweet, learning more every day! From doing some googling, I think I have a Comet 40 TC based on the Driver(?) design. And yes, you are right, it has a cover as you can see in my earlier pictures. That was my best guess with the impeller too. Its a pretty closed cover so probably to try and...

Thank you for your input! Ill keep it in mind down the road :) We've decided to go a little rat rod on it for now. Want to get this thing on the road and having fun before its 120f outside. When winter comes we will convert it to something different :thumbsup: Here are some more pics from...

Glad to hear that, all around!

Thank you for the tips. Good to know I nabbed a good solid body to start with :) I will admit that I am a big BIG Star Wars fan and considered stripping this down and building a wood frame around it and make Lukes Landspeeder from A New Hope (I am slightly better with wood working). But the...

Interesting. What was nor reliable about them? My engine looks different from the ones in those photos, but its definitely the right frame :) Thanks for solving that mystery! If I decide to put a rollcage back on, my buddy can weld so I might be able to get him to help.

Done! http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?p=314217#post314217

Hi all! Just joined up yesterday after purchasing my first kart from an estate sale for $150. The plan is for this to be my son and I's summer project. I know little to nothing about engines, mechanics, etc, but I am a fast learner. Still dont know what kart frame this is, cant seem to find...

Wow, you guys are awesome already! Ill get more pictures and as much of the info as I can. Off the top of my head the rear tiers did say 22, it does have rear disc breaks, and I couldn't find a manufacture sticker or stamp on the frame my first look over. This thing has sat outside in the...

Hello all! First and foremost, I have to say that I am a complete newbie to almost everything mechanical and engine related. But I just got my first Kart and Im really excited to get started :) I need some help figuring out what the heck I even have on my hands. Me and my son were passing an...
