It’s been about year since I did any Go Kart work. I’ve been busy with my vintage engine hobby. But I’m back with my current project... what used to be a dead axle Manco. 5:1 gear ratio with 15 inch rear wheels (13 inch front wheels). Torque Converter driven of course. I built a new seat for...

I started work on the Baja. Its been tough work, considering how good of shape the frame was in. Someone had made their own roll cage and parking brake, and welded that crap on there. There was crazy mods on the foot petals. I had a junker Baja that was completed rusted out, I used it for parts...

I'm re-doing a Kart for my niece. No major changes, just a rectangular seat vs. the triangle shaped one that it comes with. And, a welded on 4 point roll bar, vs. the the 3 point bolt on factory roll bar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ----------...

I got the Harbor Freight pipe bender. I didn't like the super tall factory seat that came on the go kart, so I'm making one with a lower back. Not bad for never bending metal before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm making a very small go Kart for my niece. I took an already small Manco, and chopped it up, and made it smaller. I rebuilt the frame, because it had bad sag. I shortened the seat distance, and the steering column. I have a small 3hp Briggs flat head that will power it. It's about the size of...

I got this Manco for $50

I needed a break because my attempt to build a go kart, with no plans, and designing as I go, became very discouraging. Needless to say, it was a failure. I went off and did a few of my other hobbies..... but now I'm back, and I have three new Go Kart projects lined up. In total, I paid $300...

I bought this for $40. The guy said it spent 10 years in the weather, and 30+ years in storage. My goal is to get it running. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ---------- I have a little rust in the tank! Sent...

Saw these on the Facebook market place tonight. Here is a $50 Dingo and a $75 something with a literal wheel for a steering wheel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My mother-in-law brought me two new (old) engines today. I don't know anything about B&S and their throttle linkage looks tricky, but for the price of a new carb, these things might work. I really want the little to run more than the big one. I have a tiny go kart for my 5 yr old, that I'd like...

Does everyone know about the Facebook Marketplaces!?!? I'm starting to find more deals on there, than Craigslist. Check out this sweet little Go Kart I'm picking up next week! These simple one seaters are my favorite! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought an air intake for my 212cc Predator. Once I drill the main jet, it will essentially have the "Stage 1" performance kit, minus the emulsion tube. Has anyone/does anyone, have the header + air intake + larger jet, without an upgraded emulsion tube? I upgraded the parts for size and...

I'm trying to figure out what length axel to buy, but I can't find the dimensions/placement of the hub inside the wheel. BMI and GPS both have the 6x5 inch wheels, but don't describe the placement of the hub, in relation to the inside or outside edge of the wheel. There is one on BMI that says...

I got a free Go Kart with a 5HP Power Sport Tecumseh engine on it. Has anyone had any experience with working on this engine? It definitely doesn't work, at all. Would it be cheaper to have this thing rebuilt, or just spend the $99 on a new Predator? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I got a Brister's Stinger X25 for free today on Craigslist! ---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ---------- The steering wheel is locked up, so I cut it off. I'll do a whole new steering column. One of the spindles is pretty stiff. Hopefully I can salvage...

My next project. It's pretty dang rusted, but it's free. It's a two seater Brister's Thunder Kart (still trying to find the exact model). I just got a welder, and started my first attempt at welding. I'll post pictures as it progresses. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
