First build

[dozer74429]

My boys will turn 6 on the 27th. My first build of a cart. Not the kind of builds you guys do, but none the less, it's a build.

Remember it was found curbside going to the trash dump.

Yayyy !!

Flat Black rush job.

Booooo..... Rain....

I have a kart very similar to yours, but It is a live axle. I am in the process of getting it up and running right now so I probably will be following this build closely!

Here souper, I found this link to all the 415 manuals. http://www.gokartsrus.com/manco-415-go-kart-parts-manual-p-5000.html

Thats a nice link thanks. For some reason my kart is a live axle, and all of those are dead axles...

Someone might want to move this post over to the gallery of builds. I was a complete noob when I started this thread.

Seat mock-up.

I'm going to trade a steamer to an upholstery guy for his seat work.

Cart shop lady told me these aluminum wheels haven't been made in 25 yrs. Plastic media blaster makes then look pretty good.
Had to 'Loctite' the new bearings in, as a few of the old ones had spun a little.
New tires. New tubes. Painted and flipped the sprocket. New bolts and lock washers.
