project kart

[pontiacman74]

I started to improve my vintage Fox kart over this last week. I made a seat for it. I welded some supports and the gas tank stand. I also added stops for the steering. Fixing up odds and ends. I will get more pictures tomorrow.

Yes you are quiet right i have a 200cc manco dingo and it puts out 5.5hp its a briggs and stratton but it still pushes me about 30mph which is plenty fast enough for me especially when you are going down a steep dirt road.

Well I got it in the upper 30's. As soon as I get my new header/rlv pipe and k&n style filter I think I might get a few more mph's. It is a 212cc engine.

I am putting on a new brake line today. I started to inspect my brake a little and noticed my pads are pretty worn. How would I go about replacing them as I dont know the kind of caliper it is. I can get close up pictures to help ID them.

No pics of thee caliper but I have pics of some more fabrication and some fun.

I took these pictures befor I finished doing work to it. My friend Josue took the picture of me riding it.

What kind of cart do you have mate??

 

[pontiacman74]

I have a hydraulic disc brake that brakes both rear wheels at the same time (I have a live axle). I think I may be ok because it was just not bled correctly now it looks great.

I cracked my vari hub and bent my 75 tooth sprocket so I ordered a steel hub&sprocket for durability. My NR racing parts are here and I am putting my RLV mini91 muffler and bsp pipe on also a K&N filter. Its going to sound great!
