Go Kart Rebuild

[TAMU Hunter]

How cool, one of best presents ever was a go-kart from my parents!

[Man]

That's awesome. I wanted one sooooo bad growing up but it was just not something my parents could ever afford to get me. We lived next to a used Go Cart Repair/Sales place that we would drive by every day on Bingle Road....which made it worse. I bought one a couple years ago just for nostalgic purposes, rode it around the block a couple times and then sold it on TBH.

That made me laugh. This may be "for the kids" but the first few laps are all mine.

Rear exit exhaust has been ordered, should be here Monday. If the kids take to it, im building one for my brother and I, with plenty of go fast mods.



Throttle cable is done. Newer style motor needed a cable vs the full rod of old. Cut a notch in the governor arm and secured with a self tapping screw. Modified the old rod for the new routing, and welded on a cable clamp. Added guides to the frame and a return spring.
