    Rack And Pinion Experience/Advice/Recommendations

    I don’t *believe* in rack and pinion steering for karts.:worried2: Direct linkage is more fun but I agree that slop, looseness, wobble and play is a bad thing. Roughness and friction is a bad thing too so those ball bearing-supported spindles are very attractive as are those roller bearing...

    predator ghost 212 with mikuni carb vm series and 9k rpm

    I don’t like the Ghost either, especially after reading up. Right. There's still time to ditch that overpriced wunder-engine and get a base model 212cc. Use the money from selling the Ghost and build up a Rotaderp 212cc. More fun that way. 🙃 :roflol: :lolgoku:

    Belt requirement not matching belt chart

    Kudos to you for getting the girls involved with karting or “buggying." That shade of pink reminds me of WTR’s “Piglet”. A 4-wheel Piglet sounds like fun...

    Expert Help Needed

    🚨 Old thread. Hey @Goldwinger what was it like driving the kart with the OEM belt drive setup? You’re one of the few who have retained the belt clutch and pulley. It just amazes me that these were a thing that worked but looks like a recipe for slippage, especially when wet. In older threads...

    🪦🥀 This refurb thread is so chock full of common sense, know-how and skill I will sticky it (for a while). I even forgot it existed. Kudos to Iron John.

    predator ghost 212 with mikuni carb vm series and 9k rpm

    With the plastic cooling fins and the “projectile” magnet? That’s gay, bro.

    predator ghost 212 with mikuni carb vm series and 9k rpm

    Dumb question but isn’t the Ghost ‘ready to go’ with a 10K rpm 😉 rated flywheel and all the good bits? Why even switch out the carb? Oh that’s right, WTR’s first statement, line one, post #6.

    Old Carter Go Cart

    Nearly anywhere? https://www.diygokarts.com/community/threads/websites-for-go-kart-parts.1180/ But if it’s a Max Torque TC, then that’s something 🤩

    Spark Plug Condition Charts

    Color charts for reading your plugs. Many such charts out there and as old as time. I think they mostly agree with each other but best to check and compare. Lead fouling? No joke. They still sell leaded gasoline. 😉 Spark plugs last a long time, tens of thousands of miles in automotive...

    Trying to Identify this frame...

    Almost a decade late, don’t care. I think it’s a BKS (Bob’s Kart Shop) kart, unsure of the model. Grasshopper? Go-Fur? Beats me.

    Old Carter Go Cart

    Nice, thankfully your kart’s model number is evident: 1435. What I would do is emulate the Carter Brothers model 1735 which is the same frame but used a 20 series torque converter: https://www.eccarburetors.com/assets/images/Carter-Bros-1435-go-kart-Parts-List.pdf...

    Any Free Chassis Building Plans Out There?

    Right, I agree. The base kart is a Yerf-Dog so even if the OP started with a bare-bones sort of flat chassis (classic kart with no cage), anything is possible after that if you wanted to build it up to resemble a Grand Daddy.

    predator ghost 212 with mikuni carb vm series and 9k rpm

    Which Mikuni carburetor? It has to match the engine, more or less, or it could be like having a Holley 1150cfm 4-barrel on a 50cc scooter motor. Edited to add: Too much carburetor for the engine size

    predator ghost 212 with mikuni carb vm series and 9k rpm

    Black spark plugs typically mean “too rich” so it is getting more fuel than it can burn. There’s a spark plug chart where you can read your sparkplug(s) to diagnose engine issues. You should be able to find one in cyberspace. Show us the Mikuni Carp! 🐟 :roflol: Welcome to DIYGK. :welcome2:

    МотоФинки для зимней рыбалки..

    This has more features than the one in your introduction, Yuri. Is the wooden platform in front a place to carry cargo (basket of fish?) or is it a seat for a passenger? I really like the studded tire. Nuts and bolts, not nails. 😎 Keep. It. Simple. Stupid., in case Yuri was wondering...

    Any Free Chassis Building Plans Out There?

    Shoot, just by looking at a picture of the finished kart/buggy that’s like “free plans“ to me. Seems easy to extrapolate it all out IF you can think in 3D… For reference: https://spidercarts.com/granddaddy-go-kart-plans/ Who is the person or persons behind this kart? Anyone know?

    Any Free Chassis Building Plans Out There?

    Say it isn’t so! Glorious Leader Robert has provided one and two seater plans: https://www.diygokarts.com/kart-plans/kart-plans-main.html I would like to think they are good plans. Up to you to decide if they are excellent plans, very good plans or whatever.
