Can’t help but nice work! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I moved the screw on 212 from the other kart I have without the roll cage. I can keep the clutch engaged. I guess I’ll try the same on this one. Got all my parts ordered up. Hope to you have it running when they all arrive next week. This cart is a bit smaller lengthwise so much better chance...

I didn’t do a torque converter to keep costs down on my full build. All the ones I found are $90+ where can I get one for $60 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I understand the best way to reduce speed for little kids is gearing. The Manco Rattler II that I picked up for the kids this weekend mentioned a kit available. I checked the parts diagram and see a “speed reducer assembly” which has a couple of gears and I guess a small jack shaft. Are these...

The existing one has carb issues and I’d rather put something more reliable. Current one only runs briefly with starter fluid. I took off the carb and it was nasty and broken. So I can spend $30 and maybe get it working or swap for $99. I need to get a clutch. The rear sprocket on this is...

Just picked up another go kart this weekend for my son. It’s a Rattler II and came with the original Briggs Powersport engine. This one has a roll cage, which was a must. I plan on swapping the motor to a HF. Just did the 212cc on my first cart and it’s great. Was thinking about going smaller...

Thank you all. Kart doesn't have a cage. I put it up on jack and tested Kill Switch, Gas and Brake like 20X. Then did 10x tests in yard. Mechanically I think we're in good shape. I was already advised against belts by someone on here. I had no idea, so yes all riding is belt free until we have...

Hi all we have a new kart that's going to be for the kids 6/9. What kind of protective gear is recommended? Helmut? If so what kind? Are bike or motocross helmuts the way to go? Am I overthinking this? Just did a predator swap and had a scan with test run where it wouldn't stop and my wife...

Pretty sure that’s what I saw also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so good news I got the predator and 10t Clutch installed. Was a super quick swap, took less than 30mins. Bad news is I had my wife take it for the first test drive and the kart went so fast she couldn’t stop it and crashed and rolled it over. She’s pretty bruised but nothing major...

So I ordered online but no eta on delivery. The local stores don’t have the predator 212cc. We took the kart out again today. I’m going to say I don’t think we burned the clutch during the last run. Biggest issues seem to be take off, slight incline in road. When we get to the flat stretch of...

Thanks the first run went ok but I’m thinking I need to perhaps do an engine swap to get better gearing. I feel better now knowing I’m not upside down on this thing. My gut was telling me I’m good, but good to hear from someone else. I’ve been searching for weeks and seems like no one is letting...

They have it online but when I try to purchase it says the $99 one isn’t available in CT and I have to get the $119 one. We haven’t really ventured out but there are 2 stores within 15 min of my house. Will try calling in the morning see if I luck out at either Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I had already ordered a 3/4” Clutch since it looked like any replacement engines would be likely 3/4” shaft. I think most of the HF coupons exclude the predator but I’ll see what I have around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was advised to go the predator route. When I called my local HF they were out of stock and no estimate on getting them in this past weekend. In the mean time I threw the chain and clutch I had already purchased and got the thing running. If I pair a 10T clutch with my existing 60T axel...

I counted 60 this morning on axel sprocket. How does that sound with a 14t on the clutch? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for that info I was not aware of this. I do want to build a roll cage, it did not come with this kart. Do you suggest I just to lap belt for now or no belt? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Build Day 2-3 -One Tire inner tube -New Clutch -New Chain -Made some seat brackets out of flat iron and spray painted -Quick spray of frame to brighten red color -Got driver seat installed -Seat belt harness attached to frame Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Picked up this kart with a 5-6hp Tecumseh engine. It didn't have a chain or clutch so I had to add one on as part of getting it on the road for my kids. Today was the inaugural run after putting everything together. My son was a bit scared so my wife and then me did the 3 runs in the cart up...

I picked it up for $150 and so far I’ve got another $50-60 in for chain,clutch,inner tube and some bolts for seats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
