Re: Surfing craigslist pays off. (GoKart)

Couldnt get the goddamn fuel pump to work so I rigged the motor's original tank so it sits above the engine. Took it for a ride yesterday. It'll pull some pretty sweet donuts. I need to make some adjustments and ----. I'll try to get some vids of it.

I got the smallest rear sprocket that I could find but it doesnt seem all that fast. Maybe I was just being a puss when I rode it and didnt top it out? I got a GPS so I should be able to tell with no doubt how fast it goes.

The brake components themselves are good. It's just the brake lines that suck *****. I found out I could order good ---- and will be doing so today. Basically it's a 2-output master cylinder that goes out to a 2-piston (1 each side) caliper. It's kart specific stuff that came with the frame.

I tried ACE hardware yesterday and they don't have what I'm looking for but found it online pretty cheap so I should be back up and running this week.
