EvoBilly Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 right everyone else is so i wanted to get in on the fun just before xmas last year i found a offroad gokart didn't know nothing about it just that it had been sitting in a wood shed for 12 years, i talked to the owner and he said his son had tried to get it going but all the wires cought fire and the battery exploded, next question was wanna sell it his answer was yes and it was mine. got it home and started to have a look over it someone has built it using parts of a mini, honda bike and a midgit cage parts. the frame is covered in serface rust witch i'll need to sand and paint (any tips on the easy way to do this let me know) found a basic guide to wire up the engine so followed that and put a batterey in turned the key and pressed the start button and it wound over pluged in the coils and it had spark things were looking good put fuel in and boom it was a runner. next was to free up the sezed clutch pedal got that free and working in 20 mins by that time i was sick of waiting jumped in fired it up time to see how it goes dumped the clutch spun the wheels was off down the street lucky no cops were round had it in first was just bout lifting the wheels off the ground poped it in to second and my street is short so was time to stop it was at this point i relized what i hadn't looked at yet i pushed the break pedal and NOTHING straght through the intersection with my eyes closed till i rolled to a stop lol put it in first and took it easy to get it home so i could look at why i had no stopers. (i'll get some better photos on here later this is all i could find for now) got it back home found the breaks were mini drums and sezed managed to get them free and gave them a quick blead found the line to the rear drums was broken so i blocked it off thought just the front should be fine like a car the main breaks are the front plus this ment i should be able to do stand stills so we took it down to the mud flats in the weekend had a mate follow me in the lux second gear was doing just over 50km and pulling away time to stop again foot on the break both front wheels lock up and i DON'T STOP just keep on going for ages (who needs to stop anyway) kart specs rusty frame 400cc honda 4 stroke 6 speed cheap shocks mini drum breaks mini rims with atv tyres will post more info and edit this post more later just in a rush during lunch at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
