Hello from Denver Colorado

[dasflyguy]

I'm a young and inexperienced but started messing with my dads old mini bike. I swapped the old 3 hp b+s engine for a predator 212 with a torque converter and smaller sprocket. I also threw a tillitson tct carb on it and tuned it for my altitude (I hope), so no more backfiring and more power.

I recently bought a used Dingo off road kart and that's my current project. I have a light bar on the way but now I need to find a new battery and figure out how the electrical system works (I am really new to and bad at electrical stuff).

I joined this forum to find advice and expand my knowledge in all areas. Maybe make some cool friends because not many people my age like this stuff like I do. Thanks!

Can we see some pics? Sounds like you're havin' lots of fun!

 

[Dingocat]

Ello. Welcome! As JT says, pics please!

Start a build thread in Go Kart Discussion and add photos there. Or add them to your photo album.

Here’s the Dingo, not sure if this is how u post pics but here goes. It’s got a 9hp briggs vanguard in it. I’ll start adding to my photo album.

Did that work?

 

[Dingocat]

Yup! And that thing's mint. A good bit better than mine. Concidering mine is/was a rust bucket that I got for 50$

 

[dasflyguy]

Yea there's hardly any scratches and no rust. $50 still sounds like a real good deal

 

[Dingocat]

Mine after I started tearing into it. How much was yours?

 

[dasflyguy]

Wow that's crazy! What does it look like now? I got mine for $400

Nice Dingo! Any photos of the mini bike?
