Hi all,
Hopefully the first post of many! Just purchased a go kart for my 7 year old son Tommi here in New Zealand. Needs a bit of work to get it up to scratch but I think its a good kart for him to start with. Will make a start on the work tomorrow night after work - main thing is to link up a cable from accelerator to the engine. Will give the engine a service too as it hasn't had much attention recently.
Looked inside the air filter to find a home made closed cell foam sponge stuffed inside -
Hopefully will run a lot better with a proper free flowing filter in there! I think its a 3.5-4HP Briggs motor - got it at a friends workshop at the moment. Needs a new exhaust too as the old one is really rusty. Also thinking about replacing the front wheels as one is marginal - off an old lawnmower. Finish up with some fresh paint and it will be awesome!!
I'm originally from Scotland
and have lived in NZ for the last 9 years. From a karting family back in Scotland.
Pics to follow!
