Gauges? Speed/Gas?

[J_Walker]

Where would one newbie like myself find speed/gas gauges to go onto a gokart? Idk what type of kart im getting yet, but i assume these parts are rather universal?

for speed, id get a mountain bike speedometer because they are so easy to set up.

for gas, you might need a gas tank that has a sensor built in, could be $$$$

Okay, I suppose gas was kinda of a joke right? Lol. I'm new at this, after I posted I said Crap, You have to be really stupid to need to know when your gas is almost low... Learn the run time, and you'll never get stuck out 10 miles away from your house

And another question so I don't have to spam the forums up more than I have to.
is It best to get a 2x seater kart? or make your friends get their own? no. But is it easier to start with a brand new cheap kart from the internet, or go with an old one say. someone sold to you? Because I want a 2x seater, But the guy a few blocks from me is selling a single for 80$s that needs a new front axle and tires maybe a new seat? paint job and removing of some rust spots where the paint came off.

Get the 1 seater, and encourage your friends to get their own.

2 karts are more fun than 1, IMO.

Well one of my friends has a chopper hes just trying to get the money for a 50cc engine, idk why just 50cc... But Still, So Chopper VS gokart? And I think ima go for the 1 seater, More cost friendly

Great, Im going to go see it when ever the rain stops here. Urgh. Been raining sense I got up. Florida, Sometimes you just gotta hate it...

most gas tanks on karts are transparent so you can just take a peek and see how much gas you've got

^^^ Assuming you have a separate tank, not a metal tank on a horiz. shaft motor
