Pfft, there’s always the haggle. Maybe get seller down to $1500 or $1K. Would that be more palatable? Go get it, man. Still a great machine, better aesthetics than the overblown side by sides we have now. It’s got golf cart lines but no room for the clubs!

I like it. It has the flavor of a streamlined soap box racer or similar. What kind of powerplant are you thinking of? I bet it’s electric. :welcome2:

Never seen one of these before. Looks like it is trying to be several things at once. Love the body. "Runabout made by Land Pride. Has a 390cc Honda Motor. Runs good."...

Karts are for adults but maybe not 9ft (2.7 meters) tall adults. The seats come in all sizes but I personally never cared for the fiberglass racing seats like you have. So maybe you are outgrowing the seat and approaching 9 feet tall? What will you do without a kart?!? 😱 The “stainless“ looks...

Knew it was a Jeep DJ Dispatcher as soon as saw the white paint and steering wheel. Not necessarily a hijack if it’s (obliquely) on topic and expands the perspective. Spiral cone log splitter? I’m edumacated now. I’d still do the 40 series on a vertical engine, then have a 90 degree...

Right, bent bolt, right out of Enema at the Gates. 😂 It’s delightful actually. I mean it’s a looong bolt handle and the throw is ridulous, but there’s a lot of leverage for a cock-on-opening action.

You know the drill: Seriously, I want to see any major minor differences between these flywheels, any markings/how to ID and how they look on the engine. What did you order exactly?

Maybe you can help me. Have a Mosin 91/30 PU sniper with a horrible, heavy trigger. I suspect it was re-arsenaled for a new trigger then put back in the rack, otherwise it’s unexplainable. I don’t really understand how to lighten the trigger but I should, you know, being a milsurp guy. Would...

I combined your two posts into one. My idea is to reply to both posts if you want and post photos of what you have. 🤳 Otherwise I’m not sure what you’re asking here. Need parts or procedure? Imagine taking your car to a mechanic but you insist he wears a blindfold. That’s similar to this...

Take photos of everything even if only for your own use. I’m fortunate to have saved the original craigslist photos/ads for 3/5ths of my projects, or maybe all, might have misplaced them in another folder. Great “befores” for the “after” state. We are a photo driven forum. Pics or it didn’t...

Looks like a Spanish FR 8 to me. Classy.

Does it have to be a a variable speed belt drive or can it just be constant speed? You mentioned the mud mower guys do the same thing. I would copy that method. There’s a few kiddie karts that (I think) had a 90° twisted belt drive but it was just a regular old V-belt. I think it was a Carter...

Subaru Robin engines are one of the best kart/industrial engines ever made, right up there with Honda. Show us pics of what you have; kart, engine, chain, clutch. Just upload them right to the site, no middleman needed. It’s probably a #35 chain clutch. #40/41 chain has larger links and...

Soaking the stones is next level brainery. Nice one, Denny. Same for the ball hones as well or are those not recommended? I was trying to think of ATF (it’s like the perfect consistency too).

Buy it, unless it’s redickerously expensive. Buy it anyway. Otherwise, seen people using any oil even WD.

How dare you! :furious2: Here, we make do. :cornut: Isn’t that the setup for all mid grade riding mowers? How do those mud mower or racing mower guys make ‘em go so fast then? Maybe they de-governorize em…

Sure is a lot of gun for the lowly .22 Lawng Raffle, some would say. But the training guys would say, well it still has the heft, feel and ergonomics of the .223 real deal so the switchover between the two won’t upset your Feng Shui.

I really like the decals. Only a few machines today have the spark plug, oil type, service info etc. on the machine itself. Don’t see them much anymore and no one has the manual when I buy used karts, lawnmowers, garden tillers so that’s a great help. Darn it! I’m still running the original...

The live axle understeer can be negated to a large degree by having a heavier rider. You have kids but go karts were developed by men for men, even with their knees all scrunched up under their chin, so a +/-180 pound rider will add weight to the front and make it steer better. Then the rest is...

That’s an extremely eureka moment to find similar part numbers across two different engines. It used to be a Gargle-Fu problem indeed, or a lack of Gargle-Fu and lack of published info. Surely someone knows the answers you seek, might be a lot of forum/Youtube searching and then the dreadful...
