    We are not immortal.

    If it is really only a brush guard then it isn’t worth getting the trailer and everything. Plus I don’t even know where I would get a new brush guard. I suppose it could be fabricated but this all sounds too complicated. Plus, I don’t go very fast so being able to not have my body stuck upwards...

    We are not immortal.

    Money is, storage space for a trailer is, and nobody in my family can back a trailer up. I don’t have a license yet, I’m too young. For now i just go a lot more carefully into corners.

    We are not immortal.

    I felt like I should say this after I realized that myself today. I was cruising for the first time in a while in my yard kart. I was on some trails around a farm field. I spun out on a turn. I went into the bush. My tire caught something, who knows what. The kart ended on my back. I have no...

    That’s hopped over from the other side. It’s stuck there.

    100 degree (Fahrenheit 🇺🇸🦅) weather problems.

    UPDATE: Issue found: The heat was just a coincidence, one quick reassembly later and I’m good. Kart runs perfectly.

    Fair, I’m a little stupid, not that stupid.

    So I’m not stupid. I respect the gaslighting but I know about muffler bearings.

    100 degree (Fahrenheit 🇺🇸🦅) weather problems.

    The engine I have used a solid state magneto, no condenser. One thing my dad mentioned is it could get unhappy at a certain temp and I should plan for that.

    Not always. I found out.

    I’m working on it, not many like hiring under 16 these days.

    I’ll put new ones on with my left handed screwdriver. 🤨

    Only? I still don’t have a job and small town bakeries are not that good.

    100 degree (Fahrenheit 🇺🇸🦅) weather problems.

    I am going to get a new belt when I get home. However, I believe that isn’t the issue. Typically belts begin to slip gradually, no? My kart went from rocket to nothing super quick. It also did it at a certain rev point. It would be gaining speed and then start losing it again. I think that...

    100 degree (Fahrenheit 🇺🇸🦅) weather problems.

    When you say noticeable, how noticeable? My kart could do 28 flat ground before, and now at full throttle it does like 5-10mph. The other person driving it said that if they pulse the throttle it keeps going like a rocket. It seems to lose power around a certain rpm. With pedal to the metal it...

    100 degree (Fahrenheit 🇺🇸🦅) weather problems.

    I’ll get one of them, I have no idea. Edit: It is very unlikely as I would start the kart, and run it for 5 mins. The creeping would start immediately so I’m not sure if that is the problem. It could also be another symptom of too lean fuel. However, if I am correct the engine should be running...

    100 degree (Fahrenheit 🇺🇸🦅) weather problems.

    I am like 102% positive that it isn’t slipping. It was working perfectly last time I rode it and now it won’t get above ~10mph. Sure that is on the docket, but it isn’t cheap and something else is definitely going on. Yes, I will change it. That is definitely not the whole issue though.

    100 degree (Fahrenheit 🇺🇸🦅) weather problems.

    My go-kart was barely creeping along after a certain point. At some rpm it would just stop increasing power. A few possible ideas: 1. change jets with the season to account for running with air too thin. 2. something up with the CVT and temps? 3. not deciding to ride my kart in 100 degree...

    Chain, Belt & Oil Questions

    The power I lose simply isn’t worth a new belt right now. Especially since the summer heat means it barely goes! New thread time!

    So just deal with the squeal? I don’t mind it as long as something isn’t majorly wrong.
