Hi I don't have a lot of gokart experience, but I have enough to know there are people like you all who have a lot of knowledge and are kind and helpful people. I have a young friend who wants to buy/build a couple (2-3) of karts to have races/fun at his house/property. I have multiple karts...

Hi all I have a Dingo frame with a 9hp Robin engine, 12 tooth clutch, and 60 tooth sprocket. (I'm aware I don't meet the 6:1 ratio) The chain "pops" if I gun it while turning, and even sometimes when I floor it going straight at low speed. It sounds like it's somehow slipping, but it's...

Hi all I'm building a kart with a Dingo frame and there is a small tube about 3/8" long welded to the side of the frame for the throttle cable to go through, but it's too small for a cable with a sheath to fit through. What's the proper set up for this? I'm accustomed to the sort that has the...

Hi I have an EX27 and am wondering what the advantage is of opening it up and removing the governor mechanism, vs. simply disabling/disconnecting it... I suppose there is a risk of the nylon gear breaking and making a mess of things. Is that the reason people go through the trouble of removing...

Thanks for any help! I just bought a Dingo Frame off Craigslist. When I bought it, I checked it over carefully, and made sure the front wheel arms were generally symmetrical. I welded a new mounting plate on -- for Robin 9hp -- and today figured I'd start setting it up. I used some spindles...

Hi all Last summer I bought a new Robin EX27 (9hp) on ebay for cheap and jammed it on a small Manco Kart with one-wheel drive. I bought a heavy duty clutch for it, and it's been fun, but I of course would have preferred a live axle. I just bought a Manco frame with a live axle off Craigslist...

Thanks for any help! This problem has been maddening, and I haven't found the issue discussed anywhere. Got a good deal on an older Manco kart and decided to put my 9hp Robin on it, at least for a while. I cut off the existing engine mount and welded a new one on so the clutch would line up...

I'm considering buying and getting this going. Anyone know what model/maker it is? Thoughts? Thanks for any help!! It's here: http://madison.craigslist.org/rvs/3019929945.html

Hi all I ordered/bought an EX27 and now would prefer an EX21. Ahh yes, buyers remorse. Well, it's no big deal because I'll either find a use for the EX27 or sell it. Here's the question: I currently have an EX17 and Comet series 30 asymmetric TC on my Manco kart. If I get my hands on an...

Hi all I sincerely appreciate any help! I have a buddy who needs an engine for his kart and figured I might upgrade to something more powerful and give him mine. I currently have an EX17 in my Manco go kart. The question: If I want to go with Robin again, what would you recommend and what...

Hi all Thanks for any help!! I have a Manco Quicksilver 2x6 GL with knobby tires and I'd like to switch them out for slicks. The rears are 18X9.5-8 and the fronts are 145/70-6. I've looked online for a couple of hours and haven't found them. Anyone know where I can find these? I'd prefer...
