yeah, it is rusty, but ive inspected it myself, the metal has not corroded terribly and was rather heavy gauge. i had figured it was an actual manufactured go kart, though, because i can’t imagine a thrown-together scrap kart with an length adjustment system like that.

my cousin just got this frame as sort of a foundation for a go kart he wants to build. we wanted to know what it originally was and what it looked like before it was butchered and regurgitated with all the ugly parts and welds it now has. one major defining feature i noticed was that the frame...

you could use a bicycle cable, but it would most likely come down to length. often a bicycle cable is too short, but if it is the right length, it will save you money and make things easier. and the belt you see in pictures is a different sort of drive system than clutch and chain. it is a...

yes the sprocket will need to be moved. you won’t need to hit it with a hammer. there should be adjustment screws on the collar. final alignment should probably be done with the drive system in place or else it might end up misaligned and throw the chain. don’t damage the fuel tank. do you know...

so that chinese atv is running well, except for one thing. the carburetor doesnt receive fuel as quickly as it needs it. i know that it is low enough that fuel is siphoning, and i know it has nothing to do with a dirty carb, cause i cleaned it out twice, and the gas cap isn’t blocked. i don’t...

so a friend of mine recently gave me a run down 90cc 2 stroke atv. ive been working on it and managed to fix a lot of the electric system just by cleaning it out. now the engine actually gets spark and the horn works and all that. the only thing not working is the electric start, which isn't a...

is it possible to take the gears from an atv engine, or possibly the entire gearbox itself, and put it on a cheaper predator (cause thats what i got) engine? or is that crazy? and i dont mean in it, i mean bolt it on the side like a torque converter. i wonder because i always prefer a manual...

For cheap, you are probably best looking for a used engine on ebay or your local classifieds.

i was looking at amazon and saw this http://https://www.amazon.com/4-stroke-Semi-Auto-Transmission-upgrading-50cc-110cc/dp/B014R2GBOK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541702988&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=125cc+engine&dpPl=1&dpID=51V-6CW9DfL&ref=plSrch and i was wondering if the karting...

could you disassemble the axle and reconfigure it to fit the new engine the way you want it? it would mean moving the breaks to the other side most likely, and that would probably require access to a welder. hopefully you have one? :P

im talking about the part where the suspension arms actually join to the frame. that pivoting point. how does one make those work? do you simply run a certain size bolt through a certain sized steel pipe? do you stick in bearings or bushings? what size of pipe would i need? would it need to be...

thank you. what pieces do I need to make the pivoting part in the suspension arms, though? that was my main concern...

can you elaborate further on your plan?

im not adding it onto the kart with no suspension. just planning out a future build and wanted a parts list. if it would help, im planning on a somewhat off-road style build with the classic predator 212 and possibly some stage 1 mods. to give a sense of scale, it would be able to handle a...

my current go kart is fairly rigid with only a bike shock as a cushion. not a terribly sweet ride for the gravel driveways and roads i use it on:P. ive been looking into the cost of my next ride and want a little more suspension in it. the go kart i use i did not build myself. only restored it...

i am somewhat of a newbie to karting myself. if i were to guess, id say a manco dingo, set up with an old briggs or a tecumseh(does it say the brand?) with a torque converter. but it also doesn't seem like a manco because there is typically more of a cage around the engine and/or the rider...

what determines what carburators are compatible with which engines? could i put a carb from another engine with the same number of ccs on mine? kind of a newbie on these sort of things.:P

i'm going to get steel for a project and was reading up on local steel distributers and found a possible source. i was looking at their pricing sheet and was suddenly curious as to what the "selling price" in the sheet goes by. is it by ft. or lbs. or something else? the sheet can be found here...

Lol. typically i’ll redneck it together myself. I had looked into bicycle parts before, but most of the bike frames I find are aluminum or some funny alloy. it can make welds brittle if you don’t know what you are doing, so i had kind of ruled them out. if you think it’ll do it, though, i’ll...

ive been building a mini bike from scratch. im working out the steering currently, but don't know what to do for the pivoting shaft part that actually allows to steer. what is the best way to go about making this part?
