Kimjon's TF125 gokart

I got this as a project about a year ago, brought it home...realised it was not going to be as easy as I thought it would be to get it going, so I pushed it into the corner where it's lived ever since.

But curiosity got the better of me the other day. It annoyed me that it may potentially be possible to make it run again, so I did. It took all day...and with a box of parts donated to me by a mate who has had about 5 TF's in the past, I systematically solved one problem after another until:

eventually it looked possible to fire it up.

And then did a few quick tidy ups, like deleting the birds nest of a wiring loom, fitting a kill switch, seat, steering wheel, clutch, coil, cdi, cables...etc...etc...

10hrs later its sill very rough around the edges, but this happened:

It's running so sweet now, very responsive revs, idles fantastic. 

It's weird, but I hate stuff hanging around my shed that doesn't go. Getting this thing going gives me a sense of achievement and closure. Now onto the next project :-)
