Here is some video of my 2nd go-cart. The first was in the dark... no video. After this run I found that my distributor hadn't been tightened enough and was too retarded.

Don't give this group too many straight lines like that. You make it way too easy. :001_tongue:

Congrats on a build milestone!

Congrats on the milestone. Better get some ear plugs for that FE Stereo.

I always liked my stereo loud :001_smile:. Lew...you have been an awesome help to get me this far.

Great looking gokart---congrats! Ought to sound and run awesome with a little more timing!

Have you dropped the body on for a test fit with that kickout on the outside of the driver's footbox? The Mk4 is pretty darn tight there from the factory so I'd have concerns about clearance...

Good luck,
Jeff

Jeff,

You are right, adding more timing made a huge difference. I plan on fitting the body next week. After you set me strait a while back on the kick out, I'm pretty sure the kick-out wont fit based on my measurements. Hopefully I can just take it off then chop it to fit the body once the body is in place. I appreciate you pointing that out. Hopefully nobody see's mine and tries to do the same.

Always glad to see an FE-powered cart (that's what I plan to put in mine).

I LOVE how we can hear your daughter's laughs after you chirp the tires. There's NOTHING like the sound of kids laughing (got 5 of my own).

Looking good!

BCW,

Can I ask where you got the two fans that blow air into your pedal boxes?

Thanks for posting the video, its motivation! and Congratulations!

Oh, now I remember having a conversation with someone about that. Didn't realize it was you

Cheers,
