    My Yard Kart

    For the steering wheel, maybe turn the frame over and support it on saw horses then try multiple applications of Liquid Wrench, WD40 or Angel Piss :LOL: (Kroil) to see if that and gravity will penetrate and loosen the rust. Make sure the cross bolt is off. Try differential heating but just...

    Another Single Seat ID?

    Only one pic? Beats me what it is but ask the owner what it is and if he doesn't know, tell him you're reporting it stolen. 🚔👮‍♂️🚨

    Help getting wheel thread fixed?

    That's DIE, mister. DYE is a color or a verb for coloring something with dye. :roflol:

    You should do it for him, at your expense! Back to original condition. :cornut::popcorn:

    New guy here

    Start a build thread in the main Go Kart Discussion or Projects, etc and post lots of photos. People often "waste their time" trying to explain something verbally when a photo can do their talking way better. Just a reminder. :thumbsup...

    Has anyone here tried this or at least seen it?

    Hey, good progress here. I went missing because I was buying gifts for myself with all the sales and stuff. 🤩🤪 Hope everyone had a Happy New Year's Eve. We had a massive bonfire and cookout in the cold..🍾🥂 Good to see you modding things for best alignment and best function and your methods are...

    Seat loose in new kart

    Your buggy was made by Chinese galley slaves :) who's only real goal was to get it out the door so sometimes the quality or quality control is very lacking. Just be glad it was the seat and not something major. Bob's comment in post #5 isn't too far out. If you have the 90 day or whatever...

    Where to ride my go kart in Naperville, Il ?

    What kind of go kart you have? Just the driving part ...on pavement, packed dirt, gravel is what really floats my boat. The answer is conceivably anywhere. This looks interesting. See what you can do there or if anyone complains or calls the police...:roflol: I'm actually serious. Use satellite...

    Seat loose in new kart

    I too am struggling to determine how the seat is coming undone. I guess those photos don't do it justice. It looks like the top part with the jagged hole in the vinyl met the bottom part and the exposed nut there tore a hole in it. :huh:

    Pretty neat but pretty primitive as go karts go. Hope you didn't pay too much

    Streaker? Single Seater Project

    That's what I'd do, they are pretty nice and command that premium price. Probably get by with a top end rebuild, piston, rings, that sort of thing. Different shades of red that clash? Who cares. I don't think anyone here cares about such extreme color matching. What clashes is that awful jon...

    Tecumseh no start and discouraged

    It's 195cc as seen on the first image you posted. Tecumseh put the HP info on a decal located in the middle of the recoil starter on the "Power Sport" engines so we cannot tell what horsepower yours is. Do you have the original recoil starter assembly? There should be a permanent serial number...

    Need advice!

    I'd just turn your bike into a runner/rider and not a museum piece. If someone knows what it is and offers you cash money, then you can sell it for more than you paid, which was zero. Is the engine freely turning or stuck? Those Honda GC engines are neat--they are some of the very few small...

    Predator 212 are back on sale for $99

    Some may advise to take it out of the box, add oil, add fuel (or just enough fuel to run, or squirt starting fluid into the carb throat) then pull the starter rope to make sure it actually runs. It's still a Chinese engine made at the absolute lowest costs in materials AND labor....😬 Once in a...

    Tecumseh no start and discouraged

    What's the stated horsepower of your engine? I have info that the OH195EA (your engine) has other designations. If it is 5.5 HP, it is a OHH55. If it is 6 HP it is OHH60. Sounds like the same basic engine block, but a half horsepower in difference. 😐 Found here...

    Whats a better frame Intrepid cruiser or a Birel torsion

    They are both sidewinder (side engine) racing kart frames. Low to the ground with the expensive wide tires and other components. Personally I prefer vintage style rear engine karts with skinny tires as the tires are easier to break free and it's easier to drift and "fish tail". These racing...

    That's a good reminder to always check the HF coupons page! No coupon, you pay list price. :worried2: https://www.harborfreight.com/coupons The handles don't make the box any lighter hahaa. Next time buy one of these, it's foldable/portable...

    which predator 212

    Too bad the sale is over. They were $99.99 but now back up to $149.99. However any engine under $200 is still a real bargain. I have heard they are putting non-Hemi engines into Hemi boxes and vice versa. To Harbor Freight it is just a "Predator 212cc 6.5 HP engine" regardless of the...
