Thanks for the help on the wheels. Those rims with a new tire can be a pain to assemble. Has any flipped the lever on their brake caliper? I need to flip this one and not sure best way to remove the pin.

Do I need a washer between the bearings and the spindle? Not sure if that’s what it’s called? See photo. Does the hub flange go on the inside or outside? Thanks for the help

Got some new parts today. I’m hoping to have it up and running by this weekend. I worry my biggest challenge is going to be getting the gas and brake cables setup correctly.

I see your projects in your profile. Those look pretty fancy and complicated compared to mine. I’m new here also and just got my first kart. Nice to meet you!

Here is photo of the kill switch. Says “push” on top of the rubber button.

I think you might be right. I never thought about it not having any bends in the steel. Whoever did it knew what they were doing or had built multiple ones. I can’t find anything that doesn’t line up or fit perfect. It even has a kill switch button mounted into the frame directly below the...

Is it normal for the live axle sprocket to be able to slide back and forth? I am also running a 16" tire with a 12 tooth clutch and 72 tooth sprocket and the 195cc Tecumseh. Does this seem like a good ratio for a 10 y/o riding it that weights about 90lbs.

I think I tracked down a new hub and wheel assembly that matches the other side exactly. The hub is a 2-7/8 Indus pattern and is 4” long overall which at first I was worried since a couple of the major parts websites didn’t have anything that long, but I found some at mfgsupply. Has anybody...

1st time kart owner here. I posted pics in the build discussion. Just picked this kart up a few days ago. Go karts seem to cost more out here in Oregon. Most people want $400 and up for stuff that looks like it’s been sitting in the rain for a decade and was a Walmart special to begin with. I...

Hey everyone, First time kart owner here. Never had one as a kid and my 10 y/o son and me were looking for a fun winter project. He is home schooled and it will be part of his couple hours a week we spend on a shop project. I picked up this kart project for $200. I don’t know anything about go...
