RM125 Shifter Kart Build! (Video Rebuild)

[Olyptorius]

Gaskets came in for the top end on the rm125. Gonna rebuild that and start it this weekend to make sure everything is running good!

Also for the vaccum valve, would i be able to drill into the rubber boot (as mine is rubber and not metal) and somehow use sealant around the valve or am i better off drilling it into my case? If that's the case, i will be drilling the hole before rebuilding the top end.

When you take off the top end, drill the hole so you have less of a chance getting metal shavings in the bottom end.

I'm not to sure where i should drill the hole in my case though?

The picture shows where most people put their pulse inlet. Like right at the reeds, but not past them. The suction from the engine will bring the fuel from the tank.

Hey guys so finally got a big fat paycheck. Now comes to ordering the parts tonight! Though it is difficult to find parts for my kart... Anyone know a kart that is similar to MBA's? I need a gas tank and other things that come in various shapes and sizes so i'm a little clueless on which one to buy...

How's It comin?

Currently money is just the issue. I've been working a lot and being as i live in canada, snowboarding season is here. So i think this rebuild will slowly come together this winter. But it will for sure be ready for spring!!

 

[Olyptorius]

Hey guys long time no see! Sorry I've been quite busy with work and snowboarding this season... But good news, spring is near and parts are ordered! So i will be posting an update video soon on the shifter kart rebuild.

Je pense que c'est incroyable! You got the deal of the century with that chassis... I'd have paid triple that... I'm looking for one at the moment. Anyhow, good vids, and good luck with the build. Sharkshifter's a good source, as is seventh-gear . There's some good Canadian kart shops near Ontario too, so that may save you some post. Cheers and bonne chance,
~Ted

Why thank you, seems like i did get a good deal after all! I was pretty lucky finding this one on kijiji for so cheap. Thanks for the links, I purchased a bunch of items off http://www.kartsandparts.ca/store/home.php

Very reliable dealer and answered many of my questions i asked regarding about my kart.

Thanks again, hope you find a kart soon!
