Quick question, there is a Simpson pressure washer on clearance at my local tractor supply. Looks like it was a special order return. It has a Honda GC190 horizontal shaft on it. Retail is $450, but it’s missing the hose and spray gun. They are asking $200 and it’s been there for 3 weeks. Would...

I am trying to decide if taking a grinder to the converter back plate is a better idea than adding a spacer to attempt to get this Comet TAV2-30 to fit properly on the Predator 212. Right now it's hitting on the oil fill port as well as bumping the cooling shroud on the cylinder head. It...

Thank You, I was thinking about upgrading the engine a little, just because it's fun. I am going to see how it runs stock first. Remember my kids will be driving this kart the most. I was actually thinking about getting the top speed limiter for the Comet CVT if the rig is too fast for my kids...

It has a Comet Torque Converter on it. I have the new Genuine Comet Belt on the workbench. Thank you for the advice. I have made the mistake of buying off brand belts before and have had terrible luck.

Thank you for the info and recommendations. After some thought, I have decided to keep it fairly original, with some fresh paint, new wheels and tires, and a predator 212 that I purchased a while back. I will set aside all of the original parts, the briggs and wheels. I like the idea of using...

I was able to straighten out the front part of the frame and weld up a couple cracks.

Hello, I am back. Progress has been moving along slowly, but making progress. I have the frame stripped and painted. I have taken a lot of your advise and have started ordering parts. I also fabricated a device to allow adjustable pedal positions (allows for a shorter child). I will post some...

Thanks for the reply. I think I will need to order larger rims to try to get 16" tires on the rear and 13" tires on the front. The tires on the front now are slightly under 9". This will probably require me to also need longer spindles in the front to manage the clearance issues with the frame.

Hello, I am new to this forum. I was just reunited with my childhood go kart and want to bring it back to life for my kids. And yes, I still remember hitting that oak tree resulting in the bent bumper as a child. I am debating on installing a Predator 212 or refurbishing the 5HP Briggs. The...

Great Resto! This on caught my eye because I have a very similar Kart from my childhood that I am about to restore for my two boys to enjoy. The one I have was built in the early 80's. It is a Manco Green Machine. Essentially the same kart as yours but it has a live axle and a friction brake...
