Welded some spots and ordered some parts. All one color now! Now to let it dry and swap on the new parts and plant the new engine in.

I was over complicating things. I think this is better! Thanks.

The brick was just to see how high I potentially would have to lift the engine at its current torque converter tilt. just was to give me a chance to step back and reevaluate.

So I got this predator 212 engine and I bought a cheap eBay special torque converter. I feel like my angle is crazy but maybe it’s just me. What do you guys think? also I have to raise the engine a minimum of 3 inches to accommodate the angle and the huge sprocket. I had to cut gussets off of...

So I’m minding my own business, being the Christian that I am, I was in bed on fb. And I’m looking on marketplace just browsing, burning time. I see a gokart with a poor picture for $100 firm. My finger slipped and asked if it was available. They responded. So I offered to get it today and...

valuable information! Thank you

I haven’t even looked into the steering but I know that’s going to be an issue. It’s so bad. And it’s hard to turn when there is no weight on it.

I see. But the price is so in enticing lol. Anyway. Did some game planning on the kart. I lengthened the back of the seat. Next I will weld in the seat braces and drill out positions then finish support the back of the seat. Then the seat will only be a frame that gets paint. No idea as to the...

Any experience on live axle kits on ebay?

Lengthen the rear a tad. And cut the seat bars. This will allow me to have plenty room to do the live axle and even in the future swap to a 420cc. rear live axles. I found a kit on eBay for like $100. Included everything. Including brake. Anyone have experience with those eBay kits?

Thank you so much. I love the fabricating process even tho my time is limited. What are the options for seats for go karts? Cheap of course. I was thinking of just a lawn mower seat with a brake drift style lever for my brake for fun.

support for the steering wheel is done. And the wheels on it are just to help move it around the shop. The tires are definitely not meant for this! lol Then I got carried away and cut the frame again. I did because the engine plate is welded in so many places I wouldn’t be able to get it off...

Do you guys think the steering shaft needs to be supported more?

I love the color! This looks great.

I painted my truck before this project and didn’t pull it up. I will now tho 🚶🏾‍♂️

Hello all, My name is Adam and I’ve been a silent member since I was a teen. I enjoy referring back to this site and seeing what’s going on. I recently bought this go kart for 40 bucks off of Fb marketplace. This cart is for me to just have fun on as a 32 year old adult kid. I just want to rip...

So my thread is in the project logs section and haven't gotten any comments at all, so I'll ask here. I have this go kart that is lengthened 1 foot. And now I am thinking I want like a single a arm front suspension setup. But I don't know where to start. Any ideas? Also I think I want...

So I am going to try my hand at recording a project log of this go kart I got. Its a craiglist special that was $80. I was also given a old yamaha ytm 200e three wheeler that almost died in the woods somewhere. So Here we go..... Oh disclaimer I am not a professional fabricator ( tho I am...
