Comet has gone out of bussiness!!!

[NJOHC]

The only thing I can think of to use is the CVT's for like the Yamaha Rhinos and Polaris Rzr's etc. Im sure they cost and arm and a leg but I guess it's either pay the price or don't ride at all when they're all gone.

I want to know why their site is still there too.

Because neither of the sources above say anything about them being ZOMG CLOSED FOREVERRRR like everyone is posting. They're in bankrupcy.

being someone could/will buy them out, its a good profit because anyone with a good sense of go karts would get one

 

[NJOHC]

Well like Newrider said, hopefully they get it all back together and come out of bankruptcy. I find it really hard to believe that they could have gotten this far into it as it is. There is a such a broad use of them. Maybe they just need to downsize things. It might make them more expensive but Id rather pay a lil more than not have them at all.

i hope not, then my 40 series will be worth a fortune lol. no i hope they do, for other peoples sake, and belts.

 

[t0x1k]

I just order a 40 series set up from BMI, hope to get it mounted up and get a few belts.

 

[r_chez_08]

bmi karts still sell tq converters.

 

[freakboy]

Cause they still have em in stock.

 

[r_chez_08]

oh ok.

 

[freakboy]

They probaly had a high demand for them a while ago and bought like 30 of em. and now they still have em

first off hello every one
when i got the email's too
i emailed gokartsparts.com about the Chinese torque converter and they said they'll look into it..
so maybe in a couple months if we are lucky we'll be seeing this:
http://www.alibaba.com/product/valuco-105640715-0/Torque_converter_CVT_clutch_for_Go_kart_ATV.html
and if we are lucky they'll be less then comet's

this is just speculation don't hold me to it

 

[r_chez_08]

probably wont be as good quality tho. and not so mutch range., like probably just something like a 30 series, and no 40 series ect.

 

[freakboy]

screew that i aint givin them freakin comie bastards my money for makin little kids work or pennys

 

[ckelp]

the back plate looks the same as comet's

i'd rather give my money to them then to some crap hole like Somalia
i bet your the guy that buys everything american i got new for you Tecumseh stopped making small engines briggs and stratton is about to go under while they are shifting more production to china
where are you getting your engine for your next project

 

[freakboy]

I dont need anymore project i got a racin mower the frame was made in america by mtd and its a older 20 hp opposed that was made in america here. Im also buying a old ford truck made in late 60s.

 

[t0x1k]

Bmi apparently has 40 series as I told them no to bill me if they were out of stock. So i'll be stocking up on belts and calling it a day, once I get a 40 series on my 11hp and my tav2 on my 6.5 i wont have to worry about belts burning up anymore.
They only have TAV2 in 1" bores and 30 series parts.

 

[ckelp]

also the cover looks the same,

mtd's are made in mexico
is that truck made in mexico or us?
i drive a Nissan which was built in middle america i forget where
my wife drives a Toyota which was built in the NUMMI plant in Fremont, ca

 

[freakboy]

The truck was made in america i know that for a fact. and for the mower ill take a picture of the tag if you want its made in america. and my gokart is also made in tennessee.

 

[ckelp]

Good for you.

 

[r_chez_08]

do the belts wear fast?
