Hey sorry guys its been awhile. Daughter lost interest in it so daddy's got a new toy now lol. Ill post new pics in the morning

400 seems fair I'd think.

Kid already got tired of her bug and wants a dirtbike so I'm debatin on sellin her kart. I'd keep it but got too many other toys and nowhere to ride. Located in Huntington West Virginia has briggs and stratton on it. Needs brake caliper. Have pics in other threads but can send more detailed ones...

Yeah you can start it with 93, that's what I did. It'll run rough cause like other guy stated carbs are setup diff. Once I put in a lil alcky it ran like a champ. Sadly once I got it runnin my kid ride it a few times and now has decided she wants a new dirt bike so I'm sellin my bug

She's 13. She can handle a 80cc dirtbike doin a wheelie down the block lol. Rides around on my banshee too. I have no doubts that she can handle it. I am thinking bout still buying a spare gas engine to throw on it tho. Just seems more reasonable since like I said it'll just be a neighborhood...

Holy hell it runs. Ran hose to a 20oz bottle of regular gas and eventually got it to run. Only ran it for bout a minute cause it was running kinda rough, I figure that's prob cause of the regular gas but still I didn't want to chance it so I shut it down. I gotta order a caliper now, locate some...

Thanks for the advice. Wish I would of checked this earlier lol. Was gonna try gas but was kinda scared to. I know what I'm doing in the morning now.

Unfortunately I'm having problems finding methanol in my area. Checked motor out earlier and it seems like it'll run. Has compression and getting spark but have no fuel to test it out. As you can guess this is killing me lol.

Yeah I'd definitely check throttle cable. Seems like its either in a bind with the under side of tank, routed wrong, or slide could be stuck. I actually thought my 250 was fully loaded wit gas 1 time and as soon as I pulled out of driveway it screamed wide open. Ended up somehow dirt got in my...

Ill prob call around Tomm and check up on it. Thanks for the info guys

That's 1 of my problems. There isn't any kart tracks around my area that I know of. It's all dirt bikes and quads. We got plenty of Honda and yammy dealers around tho but not sure they can help. There's a guy by my moms that races funny cars so I was hopin he'd help me out.

Just purchased a b&s flathead raptor with girdle and seems other goodies and was told it was an alcohol motor. Dumb question but can I use 110 or have to use methanol? I can not find methanol in my area so far. Lol sorry if this has been answered somewhere else but thanks ahead of time

Lol I didn't say for sure that I was gonna give em more money. It's the thought that counts lol

Like I said tho I was told it was an alcohol motor and all it needed was brake caliper. Everyone knows how that goes tho so I figured worst case scenario that it needed a new motor which is why I was just gonna buy a new one. Kinda hoping I was wrong and my cousin just gave me the deal of a...

I honestly haven't checked out the carb close enough to tell you anything about it. I picked it up from my cousin for 125 bucks basically for the chassis thinking it was fair but now I'm thinking I robbed them lmao. They said that yes it was an alcohol motor when I bought it. I just figured at...

Are parts readily available for the raptor or hard to come by? Wasn't aware that this motor was that much better. I haven't tore into motor, checked spark or anything but i do know its not locked up. Hopefully we get to tear into it more Tomm. Been a long work week waiting to start on this thing...

Well I think I'm gonna buy a stock box project race ready engine. It'll go good with our plans. We are also powder coating wheels yellow so we will have a yellow and black kart. Figured it was fitting since it is a wasp after all

Hell yeah you made my day now. I'm prob gonna order one ASAP. Gonna have to take better before pics and def some after ones also. What's the standard wheel and tire size for these?

Lol faster is always better but no it won't be raced. It'll just be for fun. I want something that'll run 40 or 50 if not impossible. Will one of those akra clones be capable with right upgrades and tuning? I'm a machinest so i can bore, shave head ect myself

Honestly no clue what the motor is. Brought it home and threw it in the garage till my daughter comes this weekend. When I got it I wasn't worried bout the motor cause I figured the frame, wheels, tank and seat was worth the 125. We was actually planning on prob selling the motor on it and just...
