I've gotten parts from them before. No problems thus far.

Kit looks to be a nice set for the price. Might be worth trying?

The beauty of these karts is pricing. Get a set of 20's and 22 rear tires. Remove 4 nuts and you can swap out a tire in seconds.

CAUTION: The valve springs seem to be a weak point for me at least. I've had valve to piston contact on 2 occasions now. Even with performance rated springs (NCY brand)

If he's going to be doing donuts watch the high RPM. The springs are weak and the valves float. When they float, you get contact.

That's why the "no rev limiter" CDI can be dangerous. And Tom from Syc powersports got me a set of American made quality valve springs.

You can also adjust gearing on these things too. Either by using different sprockets on the drive side, or the gears on the internal part. Really quite easy to swap. The Yerf does have good bottom end gearing stock already. I've found by installing a larger axle sprocket, RPM goes way up, and top speed is severely reduced in my kart.
