That $99 price is for club members. I thought about picking one up. Guess not.

Here is what I used. Amazon. Roll over image to zoom in Ask Rufus Can it handle extreme temperatures? Is it suitable for boost applications? Does it come with clamps? Ask something else 45 Degree 4-Ply Thickness 5mm Silicone Hose Clamp for Turbo/Intercooler/Intake Piping Black Color...

Hey Kitzimoose, I don't think you understand the part about welding with gas instead of flux core. They are talking about mig welding with argon gas. It is an inert gas. Non explosive. It just creats a better environment for the weld. You can weld with flux core (no gas) or with argon gas...

Denny, that's a 285 Dingo. Original engine was a 5 hp. Those rear wheels are meant for a 388. That kart originally came with 18 x 9.5 -8 rear wheels.

I wnt with Kenda tires off of Amazon. Visit the Kenda store. Kenda Scorpion K290 ATV Tire - 18X9.5-8 $56.76

Wait a minute. Are you trying to say that Honda's are built in China, not Japan?

Thanks, Master Hack. I can't wait to try it out. It may be a little while before I can.

Denny is correct. The frame doesn't move. The rear axle pivots. I tried several different exhausts for this kart. Even the make your own sections. Nothing else would work. I'm just going to have to keep from flipping it over. Here's a picture of the carb. Plenty of clearance from any debris...

It's been a few months, but I have finally finished the Yellow Jacket. I just thought I'd post a few photos of the finished Kart. I won't be able to ty it out for a little while. Between a surgery and the Michigan weather, it will be a bit. It's nice having a heated garage to work in. I'm glad I...

Cool pictures. Beat me to it, Denny.

I've used a wire wheel on a die grinder to remove the rust and paint off of my axle before. I have a mikita electric die grinder. Easier than sanding, in my opinion. Just be sure to wear safety glasses.

Sure sounds like the sprocket set screw isn't tightened down or it's missing.

It doesn't look too bad. Did you click his picture? At first glance I thought, what a piece. After I read your thread, panchothedog. I went back and clicked on the pic. Looks decent. Maybe, kinda homemade.

:bannana:

Yes, I do. Actually, I have a brand new old stock one also. I picked it up off of ebay a few years ago to use on my first project. I ended up going through the disc brake dance. First the mechanical ones, then the hydraulic. Never really gave the band brake a chance.

Interesting. I haven't used drums a lot. I switched to the machanical disc brake set-up on most of my karts, before actually using them.Then I switched to the hydraulics. I wan't happy with the manual disc. Perhaps I'll give it a try. That was my intention, originally. Thank you panchothedog.

I imagine you could fabricate something similar. Basically, two universals for a 1" shaft. I actually cut down an axle I had to make new ones on this kart. This is actually the way that it came from the factory. I can't wait to get it completed. Still a few months away. I keep looking at it and...

Finally got the 34mm flat slide. It may look a little odd, but it will work. Guess this is what happens when you up size the motor. It will look ok with the header sticking out the other side. Almost have the torque converter tube back on.

Did you ever get the brakes working correctly?
