:wai: Yes it's a Predator engine. Runs great! Decals are ugly IMO, glad you like it. Thanks for looking.

Swap meet? I wasn't aware there was one. That sounds cool. When and where is it? What do you guys do at the swap meet? I noticed you and gran pann live in DFW. I'm in the Rowlett area.

Well guys a lot of great ideas! I think after much piddling from reading all of your posts I have concluded that I in fact ordered a 4.5 inch brake band instead of a 4. Looks like I'm out $20 so I'm going to order a new one and I'll let you guys know how it goes. @Fabroman, you're right I...

I have a Manco that I rebuilt earlier this year. Everything went together very well until I got to the brake assembly. I have tried everything to get it to stop, however I am still unable to make it grab hard enough to efficiently stop the kart. I can ride the kart on grass or any type of...

Nice Build!! Nice Rebuild! I finished mine just like yours back in May 14, havent seen anyone else on here with one so I thought i'd connect with you. Check out my finished product :) Here is what it looked like when I found it, then an after photo.

Finished, Helmet and all!

Thanks Poboy! Yes you are right. I was so surprised how much fun I had on the first build that I couldn't wait to get to the next. If I could find 10 more $50 broken down go karts i'll rebuild them until i'm blue in the face. Plus the reward is seeing my nephews face light up when he gets to...

Well I'm glad I don't live up there I don't believe I could take that much cold. We've been slowly eaking our way into spring it has been such a long winter here in the dfw metroplex and I am glad to see bluebonnets peaking their heads out finally. I bought an engine yesterday, did the harbor...

I'm almost finished with the black Manco. Thought I'd post a pic or two of the progress.

Thats Okay I should have been more specific.

Well cool looks like you have some neat projects going. Not sure I've ever seen a grasshopper before.

Thanks! Hopefully you understood That I meant the Red Talon. I was saying those are hard to find parts for. Not the Manco. Either way I will look into the Link. Thanks again for the help, sounds like a large repository of parts.

Where could I have found a factory drive wheel Poboy?

HF Wheels? If youre talking about the harbor freight wheels then yes. I needed something to roll it on for the time being, both karts needed a cheap solution for now. They will get upgaded.

Wow! Nice looking kart yourself. I just saw this so my reply comes a bit late. The Red Talon was definately a hard kart to find parts for, luckily they still sell pneumatic wheels with the same 5/8 ID. I really like the black scheme you chose, looks like a nice glossy paint job too! Where did...

Thanks Landuse! Much blood, sweat, and tears lol. It was just a rusty frame when I found it.

Thanks for the input. I still have some fine tweaking to do on the engine, cables, etc... Basically nothing is where it will be finally as you see in the pic. I will definatly remember your suggestion when making the ultimate decision on where the throttle cable goes.

Poboy Kartman, Thank you so much for your idea. You set me in motion and I finished the kart finally. Here is a picture of the finished product with the drive wheel setup you suggested.
