Budget GoKart
Aka a kenbar
Well Let me start this thread out by saying Hello I hope you are having a wonderful day and continue too!
So i only have 3 projects and i am going to do my best to document them here. So my first ever project a coleman ct200u that i call bob (my story for it starts here):
I had never had anything with an engine i could ride and i had some old computer stuff, so i found this app called letgo. I sold a dell optiplex 960 that worked to a kid for 60$, and sold a guy a hard drive for if im correct 40$.
And about a week later ran down stairs to my parents and said i found a mini bike i want. they said they dont have the money right now, and i said i have a hundred dollars and we ended up putting every last penny from my wallet in an envelope, and sure enough two kids had the thing torn to bits (i have a video if i can find it of what it looked like) no chain ,carb torn apart ,no spark plug, cables broken, no grips, brakes didnt work, no oil, flat tires, and it had mud and grese all over it. me and my grandfather tore it apart, rebuilt it and it only threw the chain a couple times, we adjusted it and it only broke a throttle cable up entill now. it sat all winter in my back yard, it wouldnt start for the video i recorded a couple minuts ago but that may just be having no gas. i hate typing on my phone, so after a little bit ill finish typing the storys for my go karts and my future plans for my stuff well back typing on my phone and going to add more pictures and punctuation.
And for my second project which is currently my name and why i joined this forum.(i broke it.) The budget go kart (not really) no clue how much i spent in total because i only know that the frame was 80$, engine was 45$, and my clutch was 60$. The only reason i call it budget because it was built on a 15 year olds budget without a job. The previous owner of the frame tore it apart bald tires no engine when he got it. He was putting a dirt bike engine on it and gave up sold the frame without the engine sadly. And i joined the forum because the carter hub was screwed. Took me 3 months to finish it because yea im a broke 15 year old and couldnt find a gas tank entill i rode my mini bike one day. Found a free lawn mower and stole the gas tank, the deck is still in my back yard. My freind hooked it to his 4 wheeler and deja vu! It was halarious i almost fell off my mini bike i was laughing so hard.
so i am selling my budget go kart but anyone who buys it (pickup only im 15 dont have a drivers licence) it runs has nothing wrong with it and only 3 jank fixes that work suprisingly well.
But this isnt a craigslist add so my third story which would be the shortest. My manco redfox lxt so much better than a crappy stiff chassis kid kart that scares me.
well first off i found the manco on letgo for 50 bucks but i traded my xbox 360 for it, and i sold a 5hp mtd shredder / chipper for 150$ (bought it for 45$ it was jammed) and bought a predator with that money. :lol: guy delivered the gokart, bald tires in the front aswell , i got the axel with bearings and a sproket yesterday at rapid racing and thats all for now hope yall enjoyed!
