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!!!

As a fellow gray headed 12 year old, I know that if I were a kid and was given this as a 12 year old, within @ 30 minutes I would have wanted a more powerful engine and more speed. I also would have wanted a custom exhaust with twin tailpipes and knew I'd have the coolest go cart around. And yes, every time Mustie chuckles, I smile. Great restore and upgrade.

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.
