    Chain Issues

    So today I finally get the urge to cut and relocate my motor mount. I get that all squared away and get home to mount my engine and now the chain is too tight. So I add a link and its too loose. I have ran out of room to move the engine forward to take up the slack. I moved the mount about two...

    Predator gas tank hitting seat

    I have tried to search and I know there is a picture of at least one kart that has moved its tank off of the engine due to clearance issues. I for the life of me cannot find it. I need to move my fuel tank and am trying to get an idea for a bracket to hang the tank off of the back of my seat...

    Second Kart build

    I purchased this rolling chassis yesterday from an auction. I paid thirty five dollars for it. It has a live axle :). I plan on a Predator 212cc engine, 30 series torque converter and getting rid of the 72 tooth sprocket in favor of a 40 tooth and a nice comfy seat. This will be a budget build...

    Clone engine swap

    I finally got the throttle done tonight and lemme tell ya, that lil blue bastard woke that Kart up. That old decrepit flat head could never touch that clone. I'm just trying to figure out why I didn't do this months ago.... :drool5:

    Clone engine

    I wanna replace my worn Briggs with a HF clone engine and was wondering something. It looks like the pull string is on the opposite side than what my briggs is. If you notice, the clone pull would be on the right hand side of the Kart but would be pulled forward instead of back towards the rear...

    Gearing question

    I have a jackshaft sprocket with 12 teeth and a axle sprocket of 72 teeth. My Kart also has 15" tires. The calculator comes up with a top speed of 27 mph but how does my torque converter affect that estimate? My spring is set on #2 Thanks

    Muh Piece O Crap

    Manco cart blah blah, 5hp Briggs blah blah, straight pipe and bald *** tires. What a piece o crap. Has a bent spindle on the left front. Doesn't turn well or accelerate thru left turns. Did I mention it is a piece o crap? I paid 35 bucks for it. In turn put a 23 dollar pipe on it, 38 dollar...

    How to make sturdy throttle linkage

    I have a problem with my throttle. When I mash it, the pedal will hit the tie rod and it's real bad when trying to make a left turn. At that point I may be able to hit 1/4 throttle with the pedal hitting the tierod end. I have a bicycle brake cable routed thru a 1/4 automotive brake line and...

    Why belt why?!?!?!?!?

    I just paid 38 bucks for a 203589a comet belt that superseded the Manco 5959df belt and it is a bit wider than the original belt. It tends to wanna slip a little bit too. Im starting to hate this whole converter crap. I know the whole flat side of the belt towards the engine routine. Im...

    n00bie from Md

    Whats up guys. My name is John and I recently purchased or should I say traded some car parts for a Manco Cart with a 5hp Briggs on it. It hadn't been ran in a few years. I got it home and sprayed some ether into the carb and it fired right up. I decided to dump out the old orange gas and add...
