The diff itself is all but fragile, it's in fact rather sturdy for something that small,īut bad maintenance, inappropiate gear reduction and/or some unlucky hit and it's gone. How they increase the turnigng radius while upsetting the overall agility.īut that's all personal preference more than anything else I don't like what large heavy rotators do to the kart steering, This is a live axle gokart (2 wheel drive) that has all the traction you would ever need with its aggressive rear tires and a 6 horse power over head valve. Main reason: if it looks like a heavy duty off roader it's good to not get stuck on the driveways curb for lacking the power to crawl up This go kart has a Tecumseh 6.0 hp engine, 2 pedals, Torque Converter, Live Axle, 6 disc brakes, two rear wheel drive, 6 & 8 tires, double seat with 7 adjustable slide, and 22. D811 This is the D-811 by Ken-Bar Go Karts. but still I'd say you want to step up in sprocket size or down in wheelsize.

We carry a limited number of parts for the following discontinued lines: Murray, Yellow Jacket, Carter, and Yerf-Dog.

Thread starter FastChicken Start date Status Not open for further replies. I remember these as a kid and they were beastly machines. They burn through clutches or TC belts and wonder. Ken-Bar Streaker D-612e, need help identifying parts. Recently found this old Ken-bar streaker go kart from the early 2000s. I am really looking forward to it.The only 'concern' there is with big wheels, is that most people forget that wheelsize is an essential part of gear ratio (it's the last rotating pinion gear running on the rack we call road )Īnd because of that they mess up increasing the wheelsize and the kart handles like crap, This is a drink a few beers and have something to talk over project. This weekend I will try and work on it some more, fix the starter rope, clean it up some and change the oil. It doesn't appear that there is a manual shift lever in the cock pit. Maybe he was shifting it manually? Or maybe just left it in first gear. The previous owner did bolt up some angle iron levers. I know one shifts gears, but the other is a mystery.

It appears that the kart has three speeds and a reverse, there are two levers, not really sure about their function. Then, I need to figure out how the gearing linkage is actually operated. Maybe get a V-belt from an Auto Parts store and figure out a way to install it without a tensioner. My plan is to measure the length need for the V-belt to power the kart. (The small underpowered engine is not exactly up to the task of propelling two people - this might be a good thing since the kart will be used by kids mainly) Problem is, what parts to order? But I am starting to believe that someone actually put the kart together from multiple sources. My friend called -the guy he spoke to said that they can order parts from them - and I believe he said that they just moved to South Carolina from Georgia. Unfortunately, there isn't any information on the actual model that I have. The Kenbar go cart model S465 is a great buy.

The first thing I did was to go to their site.
