My Home Made Go-Kart

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 …

you are asking some questions that i can’t answer in text. you’d need to really learn to weld and this was all completely custom. it was my dad’s fault it turned out good!

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…

we’ve never had it in 6th. it was really gutless in fifth. it would’ve taken forever to get to flat out. we changed the rear sprocket and it had a fair bit more oomph in 3rd but we haven’t used it in AGES now… just sits in the shed!

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
