So.. I got this basket case of a Kart the other day. Repaired it, got it going... I figured with ample room, My Son would stretch its legs and see how fast it goes. Well... He did. This thing flys. Too fast in my opinion. But, he seems to be handeling it just fine. Here he is coming through turn 2 from the side straightaway.



And so it began.. Donut... after Donut...after Donut..

Gee, I wonder what crazy ass person Z's trying to impersonate?

I guess it just depends on whether or not it was broken after he was done with it.

Yeah... It still runs. I think it could use a new clutch, but once it starts grabbing, its tire shredding fun... Even with my big ass on it.

ROFL! Great stuff! Papa must be proud!

Those clutches can usually be repaired pretty easy, supposing it's the belt style and not the chain style. Most of the time they just get a lot of dirt/dust in them and they start sticking. Pull it apart, clean it good, and use some graphite on the slip joints in it. Ocassionally they need some new bushings. We've been using the same one on our cart for 10-15 years and still going strong.

that one's pretty much the same as our old cart, cept the 2 seat version. Looks to have some more power than we do though

It is a chain driven unit. Doesnt help that the muffler is missing and the exhaust blows right by it. Its probably getting pretty warm, as its driven. Ill pull the nut off and see what the deal is. If it needs another one, its not biggie.

yeah after looking at the pics i figured it was. We've always used the torque converter setups with good luck, other than the clutches sticking with dust and such. But that was also on lower hp motors (<5hp).

Get a header for that thing, plain ol straight pipe, they're pretty cheap
