So, finally received the new JS sprocket and had a little time to work on things. After wrestling the snap ring into submission I thought it was going to be smooth sailing. However, when attempting to remove the driven clutch, only half of it came off. Can get the other half to move. Is It...

So, we chewed through the JS sprocket today on the Manco Silver Fox and I had a couple questions....but first the particulars. Robin EX17 6.5hp Comet 30 Series 9t JS sprocket (or at least it was) 60t axel sprocket 18" tires All of the above are stock. First question - is that a "normal"...

Ok, so I have a chance to get both of these frames for under $100 and I'm trying to figure out what they are and how big a project this would be. Counting my previous restorations, these would be numbers 1 and 2. From these limited pictures is there anything that would scare any of you...

So, the kids have been running the Manco 606 Silver Fox pretty hard and without crashing into anything have still managed to bend both spindles. With the help of some galvanized pipe i was able to get the worst of the two reasonably straight so they could keep driving. Any reason I can't...

So, now that we got the Manco 606 to go, we want it to go faster... This is the current set-up: Robin-Subaru EX17 6.5hp Comet 30 Series TC 60T axle sprocket 9T jack shaft sprocket 420 Chain 18" Rear Tires Based on what I've been reading, my understanding is that if I change to an 11T...

Well boys, I can't express my gratitude enough for all of the help I've received over the past couple weeks. In summary - my knowledge of engines and such things was pretty much - you put gas in and turn the key or pull the cord. So, of course the smart thing to do was to buy a kart that...

So I searched and read a bunch of posts about disconnecting the low oil sensor on clones and connecting a secondary switch, but I have a different question. One of the previous owners has a wire coming from the on/off switch on the engine. The kill switch that is on the steering wheel is shot...

First off, thanks to all those the supplied help over the last week. Got the Silver Fox running and stopping. Now the fine tuning questions... When we accelerate hard from a stop the kart jerks pretty hard as the belt on the TC engages - is that normal? It's definitely a Comet TC...maybe a...

The newbie questions keep on coming. Didn't think changing the oil was going to be a problem that would require input but.... To get to the drain plug I'd have to remove the motor as the jack shaft blocks the plug. Could I use a transfer pump and stick the hose in the filler hole? Sent...

So finally got it running after two attempts at cleaning the carb. Now that it's running - it will idle with the choke off, but won't accelerate. With choke all the way on - it idles too fast and the clutch/TC engages and it wants to go. Seems like I read that may be a sign of an air leak -...

So, with the help of the fine folks here my son (13) and I got the Silver Fox 606 running after cleaning the carb on the Robin EX17 - ok cleaning it twice. Brakes appear to be a mess as they would slow the cart a little bit wouldn't stop with any real purpose. From what I can tell the whole...

Still very much a newbie here. Posted last week about a Dingo that would have been a great deal but it was sold out from under me. Now I think I over paid for a non-running Silver Fox 606. It has a Robin-Subaru EX17 engine. The guy I bought if from told me he left it over the winter full of...

Starting a project with my 13 yr old son and I think we may have found the used kart we are going to pursue. Found it on CL and it was identified as a Manco Dingo and based on my research that appears accurate. Not sure of the vintage, but it is described as having working brakes, straight...
