Young One WithOUT A Manco: My New KART!! (ID Please)

[Young One With A Manco]

I'm sure you all remember my Manco 'Murican Challenger Fox (Fox II with different paint). I sold it back in November or so. I had a running tally going for costs, and when I sold it I made literally $6, so I went and bought a real nice sandwich with my huge profits!
No seriously, Thanks to all who helped with that.

I took the money, minus a little bit, and bought my new kart. I waited for a good deal, and I got a real nice one, IMHO.
Doesn't really need anything, and it sure is fast. Motor is a Box Stock, intake, exhaust, no governor (I'm pretty sure... to much snow on the street to really get on it, plus its three Degrees Fahrenheit outside...sooo I put it away after five minutes or so), and it could be built up internally(guy before me bought it the way it is, doesn't know either). Hydraulic disc brakes... hard to stop without skidding.

First three pics from the listing, second three after I came home with it.. may have done a few snow drifts.

Any idea on what brand of kart??

looks good. i like it did he budge on the price then?

 

[Young One With A Manco]

Kinda. Price kept getting lower and lower each week until he met my number.

 

[Axx3d]

Id say he did budge then

Good job.. gonna have to apply to the powers that be now to have a name change

 

[Young One With A Manco]

Lol. I've hated my name for a long time actually. It sounds stuck up and snotty. "With a manco"... Sounds like im bragging about the fact that i have a manco or something. I would probably just change it to Young One

I thought we had one all figured out for you last night.....CNC....

Sam that looks awesome! How about a vid when the weather clears.

 

[Young One With A Manco]

You betcha Nick! I was gonna take one yesterday... But I couldn't feel my fingers *INSIDE* my gloves... Didn't want to take my hands out. Soon though.

Nice karts you got there, I would contact Trick Olymic and ask them if it's one of their karts. Not sure though, just a guess.

Here's their website

What is that white stuff on your tires?
Here in SoCal It is a beautiful 79 degrees.
See now that sounds stuck up!
BTW: Nice Kart

I don't think it sounds "stuck up or snotty", when you had a Manco, I thought it was very fitting but, now that you don't it just sounds weird... which is why it's never a good idea to choose a permanent name base on current, temporary circumstances...

While we're on the subject (which is actually off the subject ) I've never been happy with my nic either, it makes me sound like a superhero or something; I'm currently in the process of trying to come up with a new one; just one that comes to mind is "Blunder from Down Under"...

Ok, now you have to tell us...

 

[Bosch]

looks like a great ride to me!

 

[Young One With A Manco]

Hey again.
My friend came over and we took a quick spin. As you can see it still doesn't run great... 12 degrees. It gets going though. It warmed up a bit more off camera and was doing better later on. I have no doubt in my mind that once the temperature warms up a bit it will run just fine.

My friend was taking it easy... Once i got on i was letting it rev muchhhhh higher. No governor. In hindsight... Not so great... But im making it sound worse than it was. I wish the video was of me, with an open face helmet. It was one of those moments where i knew i was smiling like a total idiot and could not help myself...

I like it...

 

[Poboy kartman]

Nice score!

 

[2SlickNick]

Awesome!
Most people who ride all year long have different jets for the seasons.
Bigger main jets in the winter. It adds more fuel to the richer O2 conditions and vice-versa.

 

[Young One With A Manco]

Interesting Nick!
I was just in the street for an hour... (I live on a small dead end, check my manco videos). Theres still a limited amount of pavement... But when you floor it on pavement... You better hang on!!!! Jeeze.

 

[Young One With A Manco]

Well... I drove it all day... And it was dang fun... But after a brief talk with my dad, it seems like I'm going to let it sit until it gets at least a bit warmer... The engines not built to run in these temps, metal gets brittle... And the kart is WAAAYYYYY to loud. That was definitely a mutual decision to let it sit. I got that "new-toy-fun" out of me, and I certainly dont want to break anything. My neighbors are fine with my toys... And i dont want to ruin that. I think this will be on before spring.

That should make it more tolerable for the neighbors. plus richen it up just a little.
