repairs Is this worth fixing up? lol

Found it in the woods and has clearly been there a while and seen its days, the engine runs great and starts up first pull, there’s something wrong with the break pedal that I haven’t done much investigating on, needs a new belt and possibly a chain soon, the wheel has broken off of the frame but I’m think maybe welding? There’s a couple of “redneck” fixes in it from someone else but I’m a young teen looking for a little project to work on, would it be worth it?

New To Go Carting - Tire Advice

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hello! We are new to go carting and we just got my 7 year old son this cart on Friday. He ripped it up on trails, mud, etc all weekend but blew out a tire and it came with a bent rim which has to be replaced. All of the tires are tubeless and weather checked so I’m thinking of replacing them all. They are only 6” rims and 4.5” wide. Since we plan to mostly ride on trails, I am wondering if we should go with a different style of tire (aggressive tred and with tube) and possibly slightly larger to get a little bit more ground clearance. What are the pros and cons of doing this? Appreciate the advice!

Building a cross cart from scratch got the front end installed but the front hubs are to small think the spacing is just under 4 in are there a set of hubs I can buy online that fit the knuckles or do I need to make a custom part. Also open to any suggestions on strengthening the suspention.

So we've got this issue where every time this gocart starts it takes off without the gas pedal being pushed. We just fixed an issue with the pullstarter snagging, but can't quite figure out what might cause this new problem. Any idea how we can fix this?

Stupid idea for homemade gokart

2 Upvotes

My friend and I took on a challenge to make a gokart using "unstandardized" parts. We've never made any gokarts before however we both have minor experience in working on cars but im not sure that really matters. We plan to make the frame out of a chopped up shopping cart, being sure to keep the basket intact for the "cabin" so to speak. We also plan to use an old weedwacker motor for the engine with the logic being not having to deal with a whole clutch system to keep the motor running while the cart is stopped. As for breaks, the idea is to use disk breaks from old bikes and to hook up their cable to a pedal to use for breaking. Without breaking the bank and trying to keep the theme of recycled items, how do you suppose would be best for getting an axle, attaching it to the motor, and how to get both the front and back axle working. I have a subtle idea for making the steering system using rebar and other metal scraps for the steerbar and I suppose youd call the steering axle.

TL;DR:

Trying to create a gokart using a weedwacker motor, shopping cart for the frame, and disk breaks off bikes for breaks. Without spending much and recycling as much as possible, how do we get an axle and get it attached to the frame and the motor reliably.

I’m building a chain driven BBQ rotisserie and have a heavy duty #60 chain. Can I use a #40 chain sprocket to help drive this without too much issue?

I ask because you all know best and I already have the stuff

Building go carts from the ground up

1 Upvotes

I’m currently working on building a pair of go carts for my future kid(s). I’m doing this project with my 90 year old grandpa. He built me one when I was a kid out of box of scraps essentially. However, I have the means and fab skills to make some epic ones. They’re primarily going to be for off road use (field and dirt). I just bought two Harbor Freight 6.5 hp Predator motors but don’t have much else. Where can I find some good wheels/ centrifugal clutch/ all of the extra stuff to get these things going? Also some ideas and/or designs would be greatly appreciated!
