Well, It's taken a little while but the Dingo is finally done. 285 fully restored. I'm very happy with the outcome. We call this one "Detroit" due to the location I had to go to in order to buy it. It was a little scary, but I made it out alive. Not a nice neighborhood. I paid $200 for this one. I've put a ton into it.

I didn't pull any stops when it came to upgrades. New everything. Top of the line tie rods, ball joints, brake rod done with a heim joint. Looks much better. Honda GX200, built. .308 cam, billet flywheel, billet rod, flat top piston, 14cc head, ported with stainless valves, 36# springs, Champion rockers,24mm Flattop Mikuni carb, electric start and a bunch of small goodies. Original comet torque converter, rebuilt by me. I upgraded the frame to mimic the 385 Dingo I restored last year.

It's pretty fast. I'd say it's close to my other kart (Dingo 385) but doesn't have the acceleration of the 390 Honda. I am doing a few adjustments on the 385 to see if I can get a little more out of her.

Here's some before and after pics.IMG_20230902_151017608.jpg
