New to me manco

[REVS]

This is my Manco I got for Christmas. Runs good I've already burned up 2 sets of tires. What do you guys think? I might need a clutch soon. Sometime it stalls going over bumps, but not if has a full tank of fuel. Maybe the pick up tube?

... looks ALOT like mine used to... is yours live or dead axle?

 

[REVS]

not sure only one wheel drives

 

[OzFab]

Then it's a dead axle; a live axle will drive both rear wheels

Well... if it's a dead axle... then its probably exactly like mine was, when I got it, minus the decal on the deck and the scrub brakes... mines/was a 'Red Fox'... its altered some...

It's a good starter kart forsure!... word of caution... watch your right turns(too fast and you could end up w/ some pavement tats.

... and as for u hitting a bump n it dieing on you(seeing that noone else has spoke up ...yet)... it does seem odd that it only dies on lower fuel n not a full tank. I was gonna suggest pulling the kill switch wire n drive it w/out it connected, n see if it still cuts off. Not sure how the wire goes on yours... but mine ran under the seat, n got pinched afew times, n caused the same problem... but it did it erratically... couldnt hurt to try. If it's not that... then im pretty sure someone will chime in w/ other possibilities.

So what are the details about your kart?... history, ratio(gearing)/motor, plans for it(if any)?

Well, while taking a second look at the pics to check out the engine (which I'm confident is a B&S) I noticed the seat belt! This is gonna sound counter productive but, for your own safety, please remove it...

Without a rollcage to protect you, if you do happen to flip that thing (as suggested by half-breeder), you want to be thrown clear, not trapped under it in a seatbelt...

Welcome! If your gonna go on anything else ,besides street,just stick with some turf savers..... they last decently when used on the street and grass. JUST STREET, get some slicks...

Aha! The blind squirrel strikes again!

 

[REVS]

hey guys, I might get some turf tires. also I disconnected the kill switch. still it stalls. what do you think would be a good clutch??????????

 

[OzFab]

MAXTORQUE! Not over priced & very reliable

 

[landuse]

Have you got the low oil sensor still connected? That could be causing he stall

its rare but you may need to pull the carb and check the pickup tube it may be cracked and while your at it it's a good time to change the fuel pump diaphragm yours may be weak its a cheap part (around 5 bucks) and easy to do when the carb is off the tank!
