Howdy all! Looks like a great community here. I'm a relatively mechanically inclined 50 year-old with no go-kart experience, suddenly finding myself with 2 go-karts sitting in my garage. How did this happen (I ask myself daily)?
My 13 year old boy told my dad it would be cool to have a go-kart project to work on while he visits this summer. So my dad shows up with a project kart to work on and it proved to be a very rewarding experience for all 3 of us to do some garage bonding.
In the process of taking the project kart to a local welder we discovered he had an older racing kart that was too good of a deal to pass up
My objectives for joining this forum are two-fold (for now):
1) Get some practical advice on specific issues/areas of work that needs to be done to get the racing kart in shape.
2) Improve my general knowledge of karting and mechanics in hopes to continue building a platform of common interest with my boy and my dad.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
