Manco interceptor

[Budget GoKart]

I know nothing about this kart other than its wacky and weird live axel and 4 inch wheels i think and i just traded a decently built homemade frame someone made. Soo what did i get myself into?
I will get more later when i get home

are you saying that this is a home built farme? because the welds are rely good for being homemade.

Nope, he's saying he traded a homebuilt frame, and got the Manco Interceptor in trade.

Jt is right but heres a slightly better pic because it stopped raining at tractor supply for a minute. The sprocket is stripped so ill see if i have a slightly bigger one that i can put on

Hey! That's not half bad! Looks structurally sound!

Its sweet came with a seat and everything brakes work and steering is smooth rolls nice paint is not the best but not the worst and someone wanted to buy it already lol

Time to slap a humongous engine on! Tires hold air?

**** you sure seem to buy alot of karts! Do you sell them or you just have a huge yard to hoard them?

Well small yard but i do sell them. i just sold a bare axel with hangars and bearing with half of a frame so the person didnt buy this manco to chop up. Heres a better pic of the manco

Ok more pictures. So the wheels came off, i expected them to be stuck but they need keys i hope the axle will come out if not, i will have to make my own split sprocket and bolt it to the old one. I found pics on gewgle and they came with 4hp subaru robins and brush guards. I think this thing would be an awesome offroader! Its 212 time i think it needs more agressive tires too. This thing should end up pretty dang fun and its getting a cool paint job. Im gonna mask the floor pan off and clean it. Then paint the rest of the frame black

I actually picked up a complete running Manco Interceptor this past week and plan on doing similar to what you are stating here.

If you have a build sheet or parts list I'm intrigued! As this is my first time doing an overhaul on something small such as this. It's for my 10 y/o Son and the stock speed.... isn't enough!

Sir,

Any progress? I am highly intrigued!

My apologies for the late reply. I was called out to do mobile work (medical field... COVID =/)

Well no sprocket yet and trying to sell it but I painted the back wheels silver and am contemplating fixing it but I have so many projects I doubt I will

ah gotcha! Was kinda curious if that 212 fit without issues

 

[Budget GoKart]

I haven't tried because it ended up on one of my other go karts

Does anyone know we’re I can get gas and brake pedals for a manko interceptor I looked on Amazon and I don’t think the ones on there will fit

Try BMI, Go Powersports, MFG Supply and Go Kart Supply and any other big name supplier.
