      58 here,hot wheels to slot cars too bmx too mini bikes n go karts too race cars. we used to get flats on our go kart,no money for tubes so we stuffed red shop rags in the tire. the rags would all clump to one side and cause one heck of a bumpy ride! but whe you have a running go kart looking at you,you'll stop at nothing!!!

    Well done, I honestly think you are going to need a flex joint in that exhaust it will fatigue over time and probably pull the exhaust studs out of the engine as you can see the engine moving around and the exhaust id solid mounted.

      @@nevillegoddard4966 yeah that would be a good idea. Small exhaust hangers at the bottom. I also think it still needs a flex joint up the top as the length of the exhaust will have a lot of leverage on the top mounting. I have seen ride on mowers with these same issues I am refering too.

    if the problem turns out to be fuel slosh in the bowl, one of our karting tricks is to use some fuel tolerant foam cut to fit in the bowl and not mess with the float. The foam slows down the slosh. In my 6 speed shifter kart I use what we call a "pump-around" system which uses a second impulse fuel pump and a epoxied tube to extract excess fuel and put it back in the tank along with the foam to control sloshing. The float, needle and needle seat are removed completely and the fuel level is set by the tube epoxied from the top of the bowl. Perfect fuel level at all times and eliminates tip in bog when you apex and sends you on the way.
