  • Came to me dead battery non-running and broken throttle. After doing some basic work to get it running I record what really was needed to make this thing a reliable off-road cruiser once again. All parts were acquired from Amazon and if you need links just ask.

    I had one of these about 10 years ago and I literally had ALL of these same issues.

    Run larger wire to ignition switch from battery. Then back to starter relay.

    I hate the cv carb. I put a mikuni on mine. More low end grunt. And better acceleration throughout top speed ✌🖖

    When I had this go kart I put tubes in the tires because they kept going flat.

    Hi. I picked one of these up just recently. Can you share the link where you purchased the Carb please? I think that is all I need to replace. Also do you know what year yours is from? I'm thinking of purchasing a wiring harness so its new all the way around. Thanks!

      amzn.to/3SuV5pH it's pretty cheap too. I think all the 250CC GT Karts have the same parts.

  • @RestlessMind.LV23

    Early this year after the last trip out, it started leaking oil on the upper top end. Any ideas what could be the issue? Can you help me asses the issue please ..

    • @DadsDriveway
      @DadsDriveway  ปีที่แล้ว

      Without seeing it I would just have to guess you either have a crankcase ventilation issue or a gasket issue at the base of the cylinder.

    • @DadsDriveway
      @DadsDriveway  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      All you need for any engine to run are vaporized fuel, Spark at the correct time, and compression. I would try putting some fuel right in the carb and see if it will run at all. If so something still wrong with the carburetor.

    I really wish you the best but I’m new to building engines and really wish you would go back through the carb because that’s where my hammerhead has problems

    • @DadsDriveway
      @DadsDriveway  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cleaning this one didn't help me as I found the diaphragms were a bit hard. The cost of a new carburetor was pretty cheap so I went that route. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MAZ8B8N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

      Scrap the cv carb. Look at a pz27 or a mikuni carb. Pz27 is a china carb but it works well. I prefer mikuni. More low end grunt and top sp. Pz27 about 20bucks on Amazon. Mikuni about 100. Good luck✌✌🖖🖖🖖

    Whats that hose on top going to? Of the engine? Our hammerhead 250cc doesn't have it and its spitting oil out not a lot but enough to concern me

    • @DadsDriveway
      @DadsDriveway  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you mean the shiny black hose I am pretty sure it is like a PCV system. I could see why you would get some oil without the hose attached.
