I've recently been unable to drive my go kart due to the lug nut (the drive wheel) untorqueing it's self, after I've driven for about a minute. I've also checked the axle to see if it's possibly stripped, and other then being a little dirty (which I cleaned) it's perfectly fine. (Also the torque drill I use isn't an issue, because I've used it on the other lugs nuts, and they have stayed on no problem). Also if it helps I've been using a simple 5/8 lug nut from home depot, I've used it for the other wheels, and there fine.
I have a stock predator 212 governor removed, a short pipe exhaust, and a 26mm carb. I can get it to run good on choke but when i turn the choke off it sputters out unless i blip it to keep it running. i turned the idle screw up to the point where it tries to take off on choke but it still dies. i pulled the spark plug and it was a black so i thought it was running rich so i tweaked the air fuel screw but it still wont run without choke. i have all the gaskets lined up and no air leaks. Does anyone know how to help?
I’m looking to get into learning to build go karts. What topics should I research to get a more in depth understanding of what each part does? I understand the basics of buying a motor and parts and slapping them together but I want to actually understand what I’m doing and what everything does.
Any help would be great appreciated
Engine is fine but I’m having trouble with the brakes on a trailmaster 4 seater kart.
Anyone know a mechanic in the LA area that I can contact?
Looking at buying my kids a good cart. I want one they can grow into. The drift hero carts look pretty good. Anyone have experience with these? The website lists the age range as 13+. Wondering if that's just precaution? My 7 year old is very tall. I have a 5 year old that may not be big enough to drive it yet... If not the drift hero, is there a good cart that would be good for them to start with? We have 13 acres of land for them to drive around on so not looking for a street cart. I just don't want to buy them some kiddie piece of junk that is only good for a year. I have 3 kids. I want all of them to be able tto use it for years to come. Really want a 2 seater.

So I have an American sportworks carbide 150cc reverse 7150. And I have found some of the wires need to be replaced. They have a main and an auxiliary wire harness. However I can not find replacement for these that would fit.
can anyone suggest a good go kart axle kit on the lower side of prices for a diy go kart i need it to be 40 inch thank you
Hi goKart peoples, I'm about to pull the trigger on a youth gokart with roll-cage. Considering a Coleman gas or Greenworks 60v. I want to make sure I'll be able to get parts or upgrades down the road. Is it hard to find aftermarket parts (brakes, suspension, linkages, etc.) that work on any frame? Is there a manufacturer/model that known to have a lot of interchangeability and aftermarket part support?
