    Clutch Popping?

    Good catch. I picked up the pieces I was missing last night in order to fix the chain. Reassembled the clutch, chain, and drive wheel and noted that they weren't aligned either. I straightened out that issue but haven't had the opportunity to test drive it yet. hopefully today I'll get a chance...

    Clutch Popping?

    I goofed up the chain when trying to remove a link today so I don't have a picture to show anymore of it set up. I ended up bending the chain link causing me to have to remove two links instead of the one. Now it's to short, so I will have to pick up some extra master links tomorrow. I did tear...

    Clutch Popping?

    Building a kart and finally got to take it for a test drive today. I have a 6.5 predator motor and bypassed the governor. I have a 12 tooth centrifugal clutch with a 35 chain and a 72 tooth sprocket. From a dead stop or a rolling accelaration the clutch is making a consistent popping sound until...

    New Tires

    So I was able to get the job done. Not to my desired end state but it works none the less. For spacers I used the old bearings as well as a couple of washers to keep the rim off the spindle control arm. I wasn't successful at locating a thinner nut either so I went with the thread lock...

    *panhead, thanks for the response. Not to concerned with troll factor. It's almost inevitable to run into them just about anywhere now a days. I try to just let it roll off the back. You would think admin would do something about them though. And yes I have been deployed a few times. Thanks for...

    New Tires

    Great advice across the board. Much appreciated. I will start with the simplest steps first and escalate as required until the issue is resolved. First I'll try and flip the tires so the valve stems are facing in-board and see if that helps. If not I'll track down the then locknuts with some...

    New Tires

    So I just received my new wheels and tires for my go kart. Problem is that when I installed them the rim rubs against the spindle control arm. If I install a small spacer just enough to get the wheel of the control arm then I only have a few turns left on the thread to put the lug nut on. My...

    Hello Everyone, I haven't purchased a go Kart yet, but I am in the market for one. I wanted to source some information based off my intentions so that I am a little more educated going into this project. So all I am looking for is a standard go kart that can be rode on the street, yard, or...
