    Well live and learn... I will get another on order and not put it on incorrectly. Hopefully that will solve that issue.

    Hello again folks. Since I have been home more these past few weeks, I have had some free time to mess around with my daughters kart. I have two issues I can’t seem to figure out. I replaced the belt on that clutch, and according to BMI the belt I am using is the correct one, but when...

    Thanks for the info! I ended up buying the whole caliper as well. My daughter is 5’7 around 100 lbs and from what I have been told and what I have read, she will have plenty of power.

    OK folks, so I did a fitting of all the parts and everything fits well. I am in the process of redoing the breaks, and the pads on this are missing, and I cant seem to find a reference for what size brakes it takes.

    I appreciate the feedback guys. So what I will do for her, is get the 6.5 and let her run it, and see how it performs, and if I need to I go from there. I am new to all of this so I dont want to make a decision, that could have terrible consequences. We have 600 acres of farmland for her...

    Right. If I cant find it in store, and I wind up getting that one, if I plan on swapping the carb out for a better one, would it matter which version I got? Also, What clutch and torque converter would you recommend?

    Awesome! see im glad, I have some folks to rely on. This is stuff I just dont know, and was never taught. Now if yall want to talk about electrons, bonding and molecular structure, I am your man. I saw the two different listings on that engine, and I wasnt sure of the difference. So...

    Interesting.... I learned a bit about Hemp and Hemi's. Who knew a typo would result in knowledge. So just to be clear, after debating with my wife and not wanting to kill my daughter, we decided to not get the 420cc and stick with the 212cc. So is this engine the Hemi and non...

    Yea I was wondering about that. Forgive the dumb question but what does hemp mean? And when it says stage 1-4 on the kit, what does that mean?

    Hey folks, Im looking at which motor I want to put on this thing, and I am confused. I am looking at getting the Harbor Freight 13 HP (420cc) OHV Horizontal Shaft Gas Engine EPA/CARB. My questions are this: I am looking at performance parts kits for it and I do not under stand some terms...

    Well, A bit of back story: I bought my two kids a Chinese Kandi 125cc piece of crap for Christmas. Long story short. It fits my six year old great, and seems to work well for him. My daughter on the other hand is 12 and the thing will barely pull her. Today I picked up a Murray...

    Kandi 125GKG engine swap

    Hey all. I recently bough a Kandi 125cc GKG-2 go kart for my kids. I know that was a mistake, however, im pretty much stuck with it at this point. I know China doesnt really make anything that original, so I suspect the engine on this thing is a clone of another mainstream engine. Can...

    Howdy!

    Hello! Glad to meet you. I hope you have more than I have! Also, I have been researching this chinese junk heap I bought. I have found out it is a Kandi 125cc. Now Im researching how to fix this thing. If nothing else, I am going to get angry at it and swap the engine out for a...

    Howdy!

    Yea I was afraid of that. Unfortunately, it seems made a mistake. I’m going to call the company and have them ship me a new transmission. I’ll see if I can swap that out.

    Well at first it was very slow and sluggish. I adjusted the throttle cable and it seems to have resolved that. Now I’m having this issue. When my daughter first starts it up and rides it, it finds great. It’s quick and pulls hills great. However, after it warms up, it’s like it loses...
