First of all———-keep your kart OFF the streets!!!  You’re giving EVERYONE on this site and kart racing in general a BAD name!

I doubt anyone will help you!  Take the kart to a kart track.

quoting for posterity.

 

Just have a look at the level of a car or truck’s ride-height.  Add in any inexperience in karts.  Multiply number of missed items from a rigorous at-the-track tech inspection.  Multiply by a kart’s lack of visibility to cars.  You have roughly calculated likelihood of death, or at best serious injury.

I wish there was a local track within an hour of driving for me.

Thanks for your input but I’m not driving an hour and paying $55 just to do some carb tuning.

Also, I’d like to think the general population is smart enough to notice the difference between driving a kart on the street and Kart Racing. That is unless you believe that people think driving a car fast on the street gives NASCAR a bad name?

When you see me being reckless and breaking the rules of the road, go ahead and whine but I followed all basic traffic laws and the only person I endangered in that situation was myself, which I believe I have the right to do. If you have a chance to get off your horse you may understand.

As far as I know all kart racing sanctioning bodies will take away your license or membership if they find out somehow that you ran a kart on a public street.

You can not predict what A kart is going to do when things go bad On A track, Let alone A dirty, crowded street.

Your driving On the street is terrible and A shifter motor can not be tuned in this manner. If you cant afford the $55 now skip the extra large fry for A week or two. Then you can. Your life is more important then the 55 you saved. A day having problems at the track teaches you way more then A good day at the track(or weeks in A hospital bed).

Have A good day.

Just so we understand, you’re quoting the guy that works really hard to help kids and adults get into affordable, safe karting up and down the mid-Atlantic.  he’s been around a while and is one of the most helpful, down-to-earth fellas you’ll find in the paddock.  His advice isn’t just some unfounded soap-box preaching.

I hope you get your kart and carb running properly Robert, but please keep it on the track, the $55 practice fee is worth paying while testing your carb adjustments. If you need further help please feel free to call your local shifter kart shop or I will be more than happy to help you.

This just happened near Buffalo in July, prayers to his family:
