New member w/ new buggy

[ladenblowfish]

Hey guys, I just bought my boys a used 150cc buggy. The previous owner didn't know the make and there is no stickers on the frame anywhere of what it could be. I'm including a pic of the buggy to see if anyone knows what it is. My question for everyone is, the reverse cable needs to be adjusted because it won't go into reverse. The cable at the rear of the buggy is extremely loose. If I pull on the cable there it will go into gear. Here is a pic of the cable. It seems like there is something missing. Any ideas? I'm not sure whats needed. Thanks

thos buggys were brought in to the U.S under alot of names, the reverse cable is missing the sleeve that the cable screws intoand then slides over the shaft, last time I checked they were on back order, but have to call on monday to order some more parts and I will check again

Do you know the correct name for the sleeve? I've been checking online but haven't come up w/ nothing.

its called a shifting yoke sleeve

in the green color
could have been sold by someone like
bass pro or gander mountain

I can't find anything online under shift yoke sleeve. Will I be able to buy one by itself? Could I possibly make one?

With skills and tools, you can make anything. PM me.

That thar is a shift yoke cover you're in need of. (See red arrow my on pic.)
I used to have a link saved from a parts dealer for my type pictured, and wouldn't ya know I can't find it. But from the looks of your pic it looks like your missing some grooves for allen screws and a lil different set up on the reverse gearbox. Maybe this one here. (http://rdswebs.net/reliablegokarts.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36&products_id=997) Any way once you get the sleeve, cover, spacer whatever in place, it will take up the slack you're needing for reverse.
