Old Manco restoration project for the summer!

DONT put more oil in the engine than the manual says! the extra oil will find a way out, wether its through the breather/valve cover, valve guides, or through the piston rings.

disconnect the low oil sensor from the kill switch and it wont stall

Will do.
I don't want the teens to run it out of oil, but, I don't think it leaks as there is absolutely no evidence of this.
It was stalling out very often, even though the dipstick said normal. I put in about another 1/5 of a quart and it didn't stall anymore!
From my undersatnding, these engines aren;t really for gokarts, maybe more for generator type duty, thus the low oil cut-out.

youre right, theyre made for mostly stationary things so its not an issue there. check the oil often and you wont have any problems

Nice build, Nice track but just make sure your not damaging it by riding on it.

Your kart runs well good job.
