Wouldn't just burning all the fuel out do the same thing? I know how impractical that sounds for day to day, but for long term storage does the tank need to be empty too? I ask because my 2 sons engines are different. One has a shut off, the other doesn't. So do I need to pick some of these up...

I have not been doing this that long, but I think I have the same clutch off an old engine that came with one of my projects. I don't mind snapping a few pics, while taking it apart if it will help you get yours back together. I have 2 new clutch's so this one will not be used.

My Harbor Freight worked fine on my Frames.

$40.00 bucks.

Is a 36 in axle going to be long enough? I measured the stock static on mine last night to get ready to order my axle, and got around 38". I guess it depends on the wheel, and tire combo your going to use too.

They have been riding all morning. LOL they love them. Pictures to came later tonight. Live axle conversion, better wheels, tires, and new floor. My oldest is all in, he's ready to get to work on it.

6.5 HP Hensim Honda clone.

Thats a lot of money for another persons memory's.

Manco Red Fox is the name that was on mine. http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=14342

You need a double flange hub. like these. Be sure to get the correct length for your kart so that it lines up with you pinion gear. http://www.bmikarts.com/shop/index.php?keywords=double+flange&match_criteria=all&x=0&y=0&shop=1 I've been doing the same as you. I noticed with the Harbor freight...

So my 3yo, and I were out cleaning the yard today. I had 2 old weed eaters that had to go to the trash. As I'm putting one in the trunk my son says let me help. He grabs the handle and then it hits me. Passenger handle!!! Good or bad idea?

Thanks for the compliments guys. Makes me fell even better about Christmas morning!!!! Yeah the steering radius is small. I've already pushed my 3yo around the yard in it, and to my surprise he was able to steer with no problem. (he has no idea what there called so he can't tell his brothers)...

Got the red Kart up, and running also. The Carb on the original engine was all rusty in the bowl. So I decided to get a Harbor Freight 99cc Predator. More than enough for my youngest 2. 2 new rear tires, and wire up the kill switch. She's ready to go. Steering throttle for my 3yo. Needs...

Quick update. I plan on doing a live axle conversion, add better brake's, Torq converter, or small 4stroke like a xr 100 engine. on the RedFox after Christmas. Red Fox Kart needed a steering wheel so. Got some more grinding to do before its all done. Seats all done. Had to make a hub...

Oh man wow. I got my kid the same frame for a Christmas project. I have it up, and running, but planning on making it a live axle like yours. So I'm watching to learn along with you. So ask a lot of question's, so when its time to do my sons conversion I can look cool like I already know...

Don't fell too bad. One of my neighbors gave me a 14ft jon if i would get it out of his wife's "new" garden. I turned that bad boy upside down on my car and came home. A few people stopped, and pulled over to watch me go by. LOL gotta love free stuff..

LOL. I went to Toys R Us at 6:00pm for there 9:00pm sale on Thursday afternoon. Line was wrapped around the building. So I drove to Wal-Mart, and was the first in line (6:30pm) for one. They only had 33 of them so I stood there until 10:00pm. So I'm banking on the first time they pull those...

Thanks. I should have the 2 of them up and running for Christmas. They would never think that wee would give them something like this. All they have been asking for is a PS3. All they have is video games. Time to go back outside!!!!!!
