    Bought first go kart... Need assistance!

    kill switch the first cart is running pretty good. there is a loud grind when i turn left. not sure the source of that yet, but i'm thinking it could be the clutch. My question is how do I wire the kill switch up to the blue clone? I thought it looked pretty easy, but any tips would be appreciated.

    Tire question On the new kart I got today the rear tire/tube is busted. Can i run tubless tires on the stock rims? If so I was just going to put the tubeless on there. Also I was wondering if I can just swap the current rims/tires with another tire/rim that is already together. I wasn't sure if...

    She said it is in excellent condition, and runs great. She bought it a year ago, and the kid didn't use it. She is getting him an atv now.

    not proud Not my finest hour, but with work I haven't had the time to get the puller and get this thing going. I found a guy who is going to pick it up, get it running, and bring it back for $30. Disgraceful I know, but at least it will be running for the kids. I also picked up this one today...

    Alright, I've been out for a while. I feel dumb asking this one, but here goes. I took the old briggs off. The chain next to the engine connects to the clutch, and I can't figure out how to get the old clutch off the briggs and put it on the new engine. Can I? or do i need a new set up on this...

    crazy is fine Well I had them sit in it and they can't reach yet, so it can be fast for a while. Like I said the crank on the engine that is on there is broke, so I just replaced the whole motor with the hf clone. Should I have tried to fix the briggs? The guys that sold it said he looked for...

    throttle Thanks for the advice on the converter. On a different note I saw a few post about the blue clones saying I might need to modify how the throttle hooks up. Is that the case or would that depend on the current set up prior to swapping it out. Like i said it is a briggs motor on there...

    Thanks Hey, thanks for the response. This is a poor pic in comparrison to what I have. It is just the closest I found to the fram. i will post an actual pick tonight. I'm really ignorant to most of this so I must admit not sure what a torque coverter is. Right now the motor sits behind the...

    I just bought my first go kart for my girls. They are 5 and 6. I wanted something with a little speed, but not crazy. I bought one that looks like the attached picture for 30 dollars. It is black, and had a briggs motor that the crank was bad on. I bought the 6.5hp from harbor freight, but I was...
