Gokart resurrection

[Dream Racer]

This is an old kart that I picked up from a mate, it was planned to run a Suzuki TS 185 motor but it was just not going to work so I have decided set up a 4 stroke clone for the kids. I think its an Arrow Chassis ?? that suits a 2 stroke engine so there will be frame modifications to run the chain and sprocket on the inside.

The plan is to set up all the components, weld brackets were required, then strip, paint and then re assemble.

The kart came with racing wheesl and tyres and also offroad style wheels with skinny tyres (which I think will be ok for the grass paddock). The kart is intended for fun and learning to drive with the kids and who knows the interest may lead us to racing one day.


I am enjoying the rebuild, my son and nephews are excited helping along the way. The Cut Price Clone engine is aligned and fitted, next step will be rebuilding the brakes.

I would like to now give the kart a test run and tune/ retension etc, Does anyone know where I could take it to in Bne?
Does archerfield let you on their track?

i'm pretty sure most places will let you bring your own kart(for a small fee). so long as it's safe and in good working condition.



love the old wheels and hubs. Still have them?
