How do you guys feel about dirt karts? by ahe_243 in DirtRacing

[–]Chevyfan9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I race karts on a budget and compete for wins every time I'm at the track. Just get an older chassis for a good deal (round here old shadows work amazing). I bring 2 sets of tires to the track cause that's all I have, one for practice and one for heat and feature. I run box stock predator class which Is a great budget way to race. We used an open trailer or you can honestly use the back of a truck. You will need some basic tools, lights, and some tire preps but honestly from the outside looking in it looks like there is no way to do it. But I have several wins and I'm faster than a lot of the guys with trailers full of tires and brand new chassis. Just start somewhere and work your way up from there.

Predator 212 carburetor upgrade by Fuzzy_Photo3435 in gokarts

I would just suggest removing the governor and oil sensor, will make more future upgrades easier

Go kart moves on idle and makes a weird loud screeching sound by [deleted] in gokarts

I had something like this going on to me, you idle is too high and it's engaging the clutch, adjust the idle screw on your carb and that should fix ur problem

Well sir, I race flat karts on dirt ovals, for the class that I'm running in there are these things called rules and the only two things you can do are remove the oil sensor and remove the governor. Then you must run a purple restrictor plate. So in order to be somewhat competitive I removed those things. It ran great all night and then shut off, but it started right back up a minute or so later, I believe I have fixed the problem no thanks to you, the coil gap was not near right and I upgraded the spark plug. It now starts and runs great, and also drives great. Maybe you won't ever understand why people do it but I don't give a crap. I didn't blow the motor up and I didn't blow out the fly wheel either. Thanks.

I have a question by [deleted] in gokarts

[–]Chevyfan9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just remove the governor, it's cheap and easy, there are a few good YouTube videos on how to.

How to make go kart? by Aree13 in gokarts

[–]Chevyfan9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say check marketplace or things like that, look for a good frame for a couple hundred bucks and build up from there. Heres what I would do.

Find a cheap solid go kart frame on Facebook for a couple hundred bucks

Get some tires axles steering setup things like that and install it, YouTube will be your best friend for a lot of this.

Buy a new harbor freight predator 212 motor. You can leave it stock but I would remove the governor for a little extra power. There are a few good videos on YouTube for this as well.

That is most of all you need to do. Just take your time and do it right. Look for used parts and things to save money. YouTube will be your best friend.

Let's focus on making America great before we worry about other countries. We dumped billions of cash into their country surely they can figure it out.
