First Kart Manco 845

Here is a picture of the mounted engine. Luckily, I own a sporting goods store with a bike shop so I have all the throttle cable I need for the new configuration.
My R rear tire has about 10 plugs in it and still doesn't hold air. I can't afford a new tire right now. Any reason not to put a tube in? Also, the back tires are 7's any reason not to put 8's on them? I found a couple real cheap.
Also, I cant seem to find what i need to attach the throttle cable to the pedal. I want something that would attach to the left side of the pedal but hold the cable on the right so there isn't a crimp in it?
Lastly, if anyone has a link to the parts list, users manual for a Manco 845 please pass it along.
Fabroman, I found a local welder to teach me in his shop for 3 hours at a clip for $30. I have to supply my own wire but seems like a good deal.

This is the best I can do for manuals. There is no 845; but there is a name reference to the number, if uou hapoen to know the model name.

If you search Manco throttle cable, you'll find the cable with the eye on the end, where all you have to do is provide a bolt or it to attatch to.
What length do you need? I have one here that I cut a 1/2" too short for my engine; but it may be enough for yours. If it will work for you, I'll send it to you. I'll take the measurement center of the eye to the very end, just so we are on the same page.

You can put tubes in the tires but you'll need to lose the plugs and patch the holes. Plugs will ruin a tube. You can put 8's on it if you have the right rims. It will also affect your gear ratio so check that out, too.

You serial number also listed a model number? Or was it broken down from serial number? All I have is a serial number, and I cannot find my model.

Yeah. Mine doesn't have the model number. I've contacted that place; but they need pics. The serial numbers aren't useful to them.

Sweet deal! $10 an hour to learn how to weld one on one is an awesome price
Hopefully, it won't take you too many lessons to "get it"

Here's prelesson one, it's a freebie.
-Sizzle like bacon. Listen for the sizzling bacon. Mmm, bacon.-
I'm no welder, but I don't have enough toes and fingers to figure up how many times I've heard someone say that (without the "mmm, bacon" part).

That only applies to mig welding (& possibly stick); what it means is the weld should be constant, not stop/start & jumping all around the place...
TIG & oxy/ace don't make much noise, it's very visual

No reason at all. I however found that over here, buying a inner tube was nearly the same price as a new tyre
Have you looked at these?

Same over here $30 for a tyre, $25 for a tube. Last time I needed a tube I bought a chinese wheel assembly (rim, tyre & tube) for $12; figure that out out...
Hold up, I missed this bit; One very good reason I can offer is if you found them at Harbor Freight; any wheels they sell are not suitable for a go kart of any description

Ok then, just checking
So i have the new front tires on thanks to the HF small tire changer. The engine runs great and so does the kart. The kart still moves without the break engages but I guess thats a small tweak with the idle screw.
I like the screw on the throttle that limits the distance you can open it up. Great for the kids.
Heres a Pic of my buddy and one of my sons in it.

Just be careful about doing that. If you don't let the engine rev up far enough to engage the clutch totally, it will just slip and burn out really fast

If you want to limit it, adjust the governor downI would love to have a scenario that enables me to adjust potential throttle easily based on who is riding the kart if that is indeed possible.
BTW, here is a picture of my first welding practice. The side you cant see is much worse
