Hey everybody, I have a spare parts motor just sitting in my garage. It's a 5.5 horse honda GX 160 I think. Well, its got a carb on it, the piston, the block, the head, and most everything. But it's torn apart and just sitting in my garage and now I'm moving to Idaho. So, i really don't...

Ok you guys, I watched Nacho Libre yesterday and was laughing hysterically through the movie when all of a sudden I got very serious. THAT IS A SWEET TRIKE Jack Black rides! So my mind started wondering as to how I can build one, what parts are involved, and how much money is needed. It must...

Just bought myself a little Manco kart with the 5 hp Tecumseh. It had been sitting for awhile, but started up first pull! After about 5 minutes, gas started to leak out of the carb. Took the carb apart to find the bowl extremely dirty. Could the float have just gotten stuck by debris? Any...

:thumbsup: So heres an interesting story. I went to some tire stores today to see if they could get the old Kart tires off the rims and put the new tires on. Discount Tire told they had no idea how to do it. So I tried my local Big O Tire store. I let the sales rep. know my dilemma and I...

Hey Fellaz, Just wanted to give you an update on my Go Kart project. It is now running! I decided to do away with the little honda motor and I bought the Infamous Harbor Freight blue motor! I love these little motors! The first thing I had to do was install the gear reduction drive on the HF...

I just picked up a harbor freight motor for my kart. I am going to place the gear reduction clutch on it. As I was swapping it to the new motor, I realized a problem. The Harbor Freight 6.5 has a output shaft about 1/8-1/2 inch longer than the Honda. Son of a b! Now I have to ground off...

Hello Everyone! About a year ago I posted up some pictures of a Go Kart I was working on. Well, we moved and I had to sell it. Lately I've been bummed about not having my ol' kart. So I started looking on Craigslist and found this gem for $75.00! It needs a little bit of work, but I think I...

Dang it!!!! I've got my Kart all set up. I put my new harbor freight motor in it, a new seat, and new wheels. But when I went to put the front wheels on, I realized the spindle was a hair too small and the wheel had a wobble on it. What size spindles are out there and whats the best place to...

I finally put my new motor in my go kart (harbor freight motor) and surprising enough, its pretty fast! I went out and raced my buddy's go kart and smoked him! But a devastating event occurred. At the end of the race, I started turning around (yes the steering is now fixed...) and my front...

Wuts up everyone, I am so glad to finally see a website full of Go Kart enthusiasts as well as a source of go Kart expertise. Look forward to many posts on this website. Casey:D

I am in need of a little go kart advice. I recently purchased a used go cart. After buying it, and knowing it needed some TLC, I found out it wouldn't steer! The front end lifts off the ground and I can't turn. It has a few problems that maybe you can help me with. First off, it is on a...
