Murray kilowat

A pic of your bearing might help.

Pedal assembly goes to the brake rod. Rod hooks to a cable under the floor pan. What connects the cable to the caliper

Sorry for not replying sooner, but I am surprised it is a combination brake rod and cable. I'd prefer nothing but steel rod from the pedal all the way back to the brake caliper only because I don't want stretchy cable under my foot. Cables are usually reserved for hand brakes....

Here's a manual for a Murray MODEL GT60401x92A (I wish it said Kilowatt to dispel any doubt) but I think it's a Murray Hard Drive. It shows that yes, a combination cable and rod was used. The cable end of part #21 has a Z bend of sorts on it that interfaces with the brake rod right into the middle of the rod, or 2/3rds of the way to the rear.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the manual that should be a game changer

 

[midnightmaniac]

I will get a picture of the bearing asap. Thanks

 

[midnightmaniac]

Ok. Here's the bearing. The numbers are 6203-2rsnr. Everywhere I look I get a 17 mm bore.

 

[midnightmaniac]

This is the old bearing

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Amazing how well pics work.

Thats an S 203 bearing.

 

[Denny]

I was thinking the same thing. S203-2RSNR

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

"S203" or 6203?

 

[midnightmaniac]

And the one I just got sent to me.

 

[midnightmaniac]

Thanks for the help

Can someone give me a diagram o where to use the spacers on the steering spindles so everything moves freely?

What do you mean by spacers? The link I posted (post #22) shows a very typical parts layout and it was used across nearly all Murray karts. In other words, making things radically different on one model kart compared to another did not make production or monetary sense…

They used washers as ad hoc “thrust bearings” in the steering setup.

 

[midnightmaniac]

So it only uses a washer and a nylon lock nut

 

[midnightmaniac]

Seems a little sloppy to me

 

[Hellion]

They can be somewhat sloppy, especially when they are suspended and not loaded (driver not in the seat, front wheels off the ground). I would tighten it up as best you can.

The “kingpins” seem to be supported by an insert of sorts that acts as a bushing or bearing. This might be plastic or bronze that is tapped into the top and bottom of the vertical bore that the kingpin goes into. See part #24 on page 3 of that manual.

EDIT: show us pics of your kart in the area of interest. Thanks

I find it funny you still resorted to metric measurements after someone advised you not to. Old habits die hard I guess. Are you in Europe or some place?

 

[midnightmaniac]

I used what I thought I needed

Both bearings have the same power number
