Leeland -Frist timer

[Leeland]

Hi Everyone,
My wife told me I needed a hobbie so I picked up four go karts that needed fixing up, for me and my two boys. I have been on this site reading posts for ideas and advise for almost a year now and decided it was time to join.

I can take things apart, make them work but posting photos on a computer thats something my wife will have to help me with.

Welcome to the forum Leeland. When you get a hobbie you go all out...4 karts all at once. Nice

Three are currently running, the fastest one I'am not sure what brand it is looks like a murry? Has a 5.5hp I need to improve the turning radius. It seems to just push the front end, hoping bigger front tires will help. I also picked up a Tyrod 5.5hp clone for my youngest son this kart is a constant project, but he loves it he rarely has all four tires on the ground, either cornering on two wheels or catching air. The other two are yerf dog 3203 dont care much for the primer bulb carb. Looking to swap out engines, have a bid on a 8hp Honda. The other yerf dog is still a roller right now, cut the back rack off and mounted a 16hp Honda. Possibily ordering a 40 series comet torque converter next week, then I will start working on a jackshaft.
