The same thing happened in my first engine and govenor pieces/parts got into my compression release causing other problems. With my newest engine's full govenor delete, I didn't go though the extra work of removing the flywheel and didnt have much trouble removing the plastic gear and other...

Here are some better images. I bought that brand new spring loaded, adjustable seat early last summer at a yard sale for $25 having no Idea what it would be used for. I've been SITTING on it (snicker) all this time. He's got to decide on duallies or not for rear tires. This is about 90% finished.

Saw these on craigslist (The top two are the before pics) I drove 30 miles to pick these up for cheap. They were actually under a lean to and it took two of us to drag these out of the grass that had growed up between everything. The guy was an old race car fabricator who had dealings with big...

My cousin Randy's latest: Powered by an 18 horsepower water cooled Honda engine, Hydrostatic drive, added a hydraulic cylinder and pump for the fabricated dump, and it will have duallies when finished. The rear axle is from parts unknown. Graphics are ordered and an engine detail is coming soon...

Found these in a field. Used flap discs to remove rust.

Check the flywheel to see if the key is intact.

Sorry if this is off topic....I've have two close friends who each bought new bicycles to put a 48 or 49 cc engine on. One friend put a two stroke on one and a 4 stroke with gear reduction on another. These things pulled me at 240lbs or so around town at 28 mph. That gear reduction obviously...

Yes, when you do a governor delete you have to break the engine open and remove the inside parts!!!!! These shattered parts got into my compression release and made starting our engine extremely difficult.

Like landuse said, it doesn't matter. I have ran Sprockets at every possible place on an axle. Here is my current sprocket location.

Yeah, maybe they should move to China, avoid research and development costs by copying American and Japanese technology, use slave labor, send it back to America, and sell it at less than 1/3 the cost of the original, and still make a profit

Our local Harbor Freight stores were out of the Predator 212s all Summer, and during this time the list price had gone up to $124.00. A little over a week ago they got a shipment of these engines in and the $99 coupon reappeared, now they have about sold out. The employees there had no idea...

Apparently we didn't change the flywheel in time after the stage one upgrade and Mikuni addition because we keep finding the flywheel loose after a hard ride. The key, flywheel and shaft all looked good so we applied red lock tight and torqued the flywheel nut. The next ride caused the flywheel...

Ahh Salinas, the country's salad bowl. I spent many a tired night waiting to be loaded at the produce farms. Amazing industry. Looks like you're about ready to start lubing and slapping parts on those projects. What engines are you planning on using? Also, have you heard of a young lady named...

Looks like it needs outrigger bars!

Squid, where did you purchase your slicks?

I always wanted to race but it was always just out of reach for me. I have hung out with and helped a few racers even getting in the way of Mark Martin and Larry Phillips on occasion. Our family still attends races at the incredible Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri. They have 3 tracks...

You are in the right place. I am a new-ish member with a lot of kart experience and still enjoy learning from the gearheads on this site. You say you're into dirt track racing, in what capacity? Are you a driver, crew or spectator? My boys are getting the cart out as I write, and watering down...

The reason the engine stalled when riding in the field was because of the gas tank the whole time. We changed the tank and have had no issues since. However, the pull start kick back is still an issue. The flywheel key is intact and we adjusted the valve lash so I'm assuming it's the...

That's a good looking kart. You might try running those rear tires at a lower pressure. Also consider better front tires and wheels. You can try a shorter spindle and put in springs for shocks. Make sure everyone that rides it knows where to back off the throttle because of the rough terrain...

Thank you JT for your input. This thing has been a fun hobby for my son and I. I needed a hobby because I've not worked for over a year due to 4 surgeries for carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome. We went from being basketball fanatics to go kart gearheads. We have the garage arranged and parts...
