How much is it worth fixed up and repainted?

Dingos are the best driving kart I have owned. They drive and turn so good other karts I have had do not even come close.

Here is one I fixed up.

They turn good? I havent driven mine yet got it started shut it off pulled it again and the rope broke\ :mad2: so does it turn easy or does it have a small turn radius?

They just drive and turn killer. Manco got it right with the Dingo IMO. I have had two of them and the both drive very good for karts.

cant wait for the pics...I think manco dingo designs are the best. If only they cam with suspension!

They do have suspension in the front. Or what ever you call it. :)

I think this is why they grip so good in the front. Not sure though. I just know they handle very good compared to other YARD karts I have had. Even on pavement to turn tight with no pushing.

What engine were you running before the new one.
Click to expand...

It was an original powr sport something. Cannot remember the HP. Carb looked like they used a hammer and vice grips for all work. I gave it it away to a kid down the street and bought a clone.

The clone will not fit on a dingo with the gas tank on the engine. If you get a clone you will have to remote the tank. I had a old generator so I used that in true DIY fashion. Original plan was to mount air filter in the hole in the middle of the tank. But I could not get the clone to run right with a long hose on the carb. It would have looked sick if I could of pulled it off though. I had one of the large turbo K&N filters that fit the hole perfect.

Ialso changed the steering wheel for I had a cool one.
