How much force does it take to rotate a proper one? I can rotate mine somewhat easy. I'm wondering if it's why the kart tries to engage regardless of how low the idle is and why it doesn't have any low end torque.

Should the pins and flyweights rotate by hand? The pins aren't even touching the sides.

The more I read up on the TC the more I think I'm starting to understand it. It's really a pretty basic design once you get a visual on how it works. So I think I've narrowed part of the problem down to two possible or related issues. 1st, I don't think the green spring was properly...

Yes it's asymetrical and yes I have a clone (with the blue tank) still in the box just begging to go into something. Guess I could swap it over and see if that helps my torque issue as well. However, I still think it might be in the TC setup. Yesterday I took it down the street and never could...

From center of shaft to center of shaft is 6 3/4". I'll measure the clutch face and see if I'm correct about it being a 30 style

Well, the day started off Promising. Pulled the carb apart and gave it a good cleaning. Pulled both sides of the TC apart and cleaned them up. Noticed that the spring was in the number one hole so I was able to move it over to the number two position. Got everything put back together and took...

I believe it's a Comet 30 series from the info I can find online, it's also stamped withe the comet name. Off to start the cleaning process. Will post up later today. Thanks for the suggestions.

Couple of pictures of the TC

Picked this kart up the other day but need a little help clearing up some minor (I hope) issues. First the cart has no torque. I know the 6.5 Tecumseh is on the small side for a full suspension kart but really? It won't even spinn the tires a little in dirt. It will get up to speed but it...

I knew the price was way high, I was going to start the offer at $350 but wouldn't go more then $450 unless it's in great shape. Thanks for the info about the engine, wasn't sure how heavy this kart was. I just know my daughter wants a suspension kart so I told her I'd go look at it. She...

Not to bring an old thread back from the grave but I was able to stretch the spring out ever so slightly and she's been running like a champ (knock on wood) ever since.

It's time to upgrade my daughters go kart and I'm going out to look at this Manco tomorrow, what areas should I take a close look at and what should I know before checking it out? http://lubbock.craigslist.org/mcy/2875093770.html thanks guys

sorry I'm just now seeing this but yes, the factory wheel bearing is 5/8

I was able to buy the diaphragm by itself so I'll check with my parts guy this week and see if he has a spring or if he knows a trick I can try to keep it from hanging. It was so bad the first time I pulled the diaphragm off I thought I had lost the spring because it didn't even move and was...

I was afraid you would say that but I figured that's what was needed. Do I need the full kit or just a new spring. Is it common for the spring to hang like this considering how old the motor is?

The B&S (136212) on my daughters go kart has the diaphragm on the side of the carb that acts like the fuel pump (for lack of a better explanation). Anyway, it's starting to cut out when you first push the gas and also if you let it idle for more then a few minutes. I pulled the diaphragm out the...

Great way to teach your dog not to pee on tires.

If a man is driving car that's making noise you can pretty much bet it's one of two options. Option 1; He's driving it for a girl because she came in and said it's making a funny noise or Option 2; he's broke because he's married to the woman that said her car is making a funny noise. LOL

^. That funny as hell

Depends on how hot she is and what state I'm living in at the time. LOL
