My Home Made Go-Kart
Posted by admin | Under go kart frames Saturday Mar 14, 2009
This gop kart was made recently by my dad, my uncle, and myself. it started life as a kawasaki GPX 250 and it didn’t run when we got it. we bought the bike for $900 and the next few weekends were cleaning the carby idle and main jets and general maintenance of the motor like new spark plugs and a heap of other stuff. now she runs like new. we then took it all apart and left the motor and electrics sitting there for a couple of months while we built the frame and got all of that done and when …

thanks. we rarely use it now. it needs to run again but we just don’t use it. it needs a good working again and an oil leak we NEED to fix. also a good tune and service it would be SWEET again…

trust me, i nagged! for a long time! he promised when i was about 4 or 5 and it was a pipe dream then. he said when i was 16 but i nagged him and we started when i was about 14 and a half. i’m now 16 and a half.

we did love it. we haven’t used it in a very long time. we had ran it recently but it needs a good run and maybe a tune and service to run this well again. i miss all the fun we had but we have big mean fullsize atv wheels on it now. heaps more grip and so much better looking!

it’s called a side winder. it handles just the same turning both ways pretty much on dirt. it slides either way. but dad did roll it once going slowly but turned sharp and gunned it. it virtually stopped and grabbed and just did a slow roll. we damaged the radiator but moved it when we got a new one
