    Replacement torque converter belts....what's the best?

    My buddy and I just built a couple of Manco Dingos with 212 predators and Chinese knock off versions of the Comet 30/TAV2 torque converters. Needles to say the belts were junk. One lasted for a couple weeks and one shredded in about 10 minutes. From what I've read, the general consensus seems...

    Manco Dingo belt length? Comet 40 w/jackshaft

    Acquired an all original Manco Dingo 288 (I think) last week that still has the Briggs 8hp flattie, Comet 40 series and jackshaft system still on it. Main thing I'm missing is the belt. Anyone know what length the original belt would've been? Amazon and eBay have several 40 series belts, but...

We always ran them on our V8 race engines and I would assume the same theory applies here, but I never see them on any Karts, even...

    What are these vintage karts???

    So over the past few months I've been keeping my eyes open and picking the brains of my co-workers and Hot Rodder buddies, looking for a suitable go-kart or two for my boys. Amongst the various frames and parts I've acquired over the summer are these two vintage karts. One appears to be most...
