Took the Kart to my uncle's place today for a family outing. Everything worked out great.
Kids loved it, adults loved it, it ran GREAT!!!
Tall grass, short grass, fallen trees, muddy trails, you name it. It handled it with no problem. The donuts and tail spins in the short grass seemed to be everyone's favorite.
Then I got the news from one of the people riding it last.........
"The chain popped off."
I thought, "hmm, that's weird....."
Ugh!!!!!!!!........ Oh no!!!!!!!!!!
The dreaded motor mount failure......
Motor mount broke on both sides of the mount at the top.
Took out the chain guard, the skid plate/chain guard on bottom left, (when looking at the rear) Kinked the header pipe, cracked the spark plug boot, and bent the spark plug tip the the boot clips on.
Man that mount can mess up alot of stuff.
We managed to fab up a temp mount, so I took it for a quick shake down run. Started up and ran good. Hauled butt through the grass area, did a tail spin and that was it.
The carb started sputtering and coughing. Would idle fine, but once you gave it gas, she would pop and sputter out.
What a real bummer too, everyone was having a ball with it.
Oh well, I got some more wrenching to do....
