After some research, I think I should just grind the bad threads off seeing as the treads are only bad one level deep.

All cleaned up now
not pretty but it threads straight and all the way. Grinder to the rescue! Sorry for the horrible picture, darned thing wouldn’t focus.

Bearing is off. Now for the hard one. For some reason I’m keeping the balls…

I have a parts mower laying around so and I saw a cable... my inner @Master Hack came out and I took it off. With no engine mounted it’s hard to tell but it looks like the perfect length. Disclaimer: if have a kart with a pedal to engine cable you probably won’t be able to do this, too short a cable. But my Streaker has a linkage going halfway. The best part—totally free! The mower was free delivered to my house so free throttle cable. How long will it last? I don’t know, but it looks pretty good.

Looks like I need to do more with junk! I was amazed for quite a long time from a thread I found on this forum a while back of a kart out of junk, before I ever got a kart. The reason it amazed me was not only the resourcefulness of the builder, but also because what got me into all this was Cars and Cameras, and they mostly use brand-spankin’-new parts. In terms of the hammer, it’s only a 10lb… looking at one of these:
50lb might be enough…

I’ve been looking for a good anvil and here you are hoarding them. I hate you!

Trying something else first because the brake drum is really in the way of my grinder. And I can’t get the sprocket off to get the drum off.

Get yourself a hunk of railroad track and grind the top flat. Junk scroungers cheap anvil.

I’ve got 3 like that! But they sure do ring your ears. Even on a log with a chain, lead and rubber wrapped around it.

Are you out of your mind? Who’s got that kind of money?
Edit: Never mind I forgot what group I was talking to.

I don’t have any money! I’m the guy who doesn’t have a stable full of classic muscle cars!
Update: Looks like I need to get a Dremel cutting disk. Brake drum stops the angle grinder from fitting, it just too thick. Any brand/style you recommend? I don’t know anything about Dremels so bear with me.
