I don’t have an external I went to the track on Friday to try and start it and there’s is broken. Figures. Short of buying one I’m stuck on that one

[Mark Lockett]

Ok so is that something that can be done? I can’t buy a rebuilt box? I’d have to send mine in?

[Mark Lockett]

Hit the start button and nothing. Or at best a buzzing sound from the starter like its struggling for juice. I can hook up a battery charger with “engine start” mode and make it crank but I get no spark and it kills my batteries

[Mark Lockett]

I even changed out the green button from another box in case it was just a switch issue

[Mark Lockett]

Nope. I think I’m taking it to a shop. I’m totally stuck. Pretty irritating. I’m shopping for external starters as well. I’m trying to figure out a way to get myself an 09. Probably have to sell both my 08’s to get one 09
I’m considering it

[Mark Lockett]

I’ve checked the connectors,they look fine. The motor spins fine. What made me think the starter was bad was sort of a wild ass guess based on trying to trace out why I had nothing happening when I hit the start button. This engine package has about 8 hours since new. Everything. I’m emailing the guy at the shop tomorrow about taking it in. I’m hauling it to the track tomorrow or Saturday I think to see if I can start it with a handheld starter.
I’m beyond lost at this point

[Mark Lockett]

I’m so totally lost

[Mark Lockett]

Ok here’s the update: I’m not sure I mentioned this began with a starter problem. Starter needs a brush kit so I put a starter that hopefully doesn’t as well on. New battery came today, 13 volts right out of the box. Won’t turn the starter over unless it’s connected to my battery charger on “engine start” mode which is a pretty ridiculous amount of current. Just like an old battery that barely charges past 11 volts does. Still no spark

[Mark Lockett]

I’ve always had spare batteries but they don’t last long. I’ve tried 3 different times to buy a used external starter. Once the price goes much past $120 or so it makes more sense to get a new one. I have spare onboard staters so I can have a rotation going lol
I will definitely post the fix to problem because this sucks big time

[Mark Lockett]

The grounds are good. All cleaned and tight and yes the rotor was replaced with stator the battery voltage is low. I have a brand new fresh battery showing up I hope on Thursday. External starter just moved to the top of my list of “to buy” items

[Mark Lockett]

Wildkart chassis. Medium axle

[Mark Lockett]

Low volume mags? I know what they are but I’m missing the connection to my grip issue I think.

[Mark Lockett]

I can only go 5mm wider each side up front and the front bar is in. I will try some medium rear hubs and narrow up the rear. I like the rain set up tip. I didn’t think of that. Thanks

[Mark Lockett]

Mostly I wanted to get rid of those old huge angled type nerfbars
I may just part the whole chassis out. Not sure yet.
Thanks

[Mark Lockett]

Boom! That’s the one I remember
Thanks everyone.

[Mark Lockett]

Thats not the one I remember but that will work. Thanks :-)

[Mark Lockett]

Bare frame means bare? no spindles no nothing?

[Mark Lockett]

I wish I was going to Vegas :-(
I’m pretty far. It was a good thought though because that would have been a slick way to do it.
I’ll let you know what I come up with. Thanks

[Mark Lockett]

Ok thanks. Possibly interested and needed to factor in appx shipping cost.

[Mark Lockett]

Where is this chassis located?

[Mark Lockett]

GOT SOME!! Thanks Ekn and all who responded

[Mark Lockett]

I’ve seen them with an upper and lower also. More adjustability I guess. I’m feeling like if the frame was bent it would show up in other ways besides weird caster settings. Maybe a bent kingpin or spindle?

[Mark Lockett]

That makes total sense. It doesn’t seem to be working out that way though I was afraid the B word would come up. I have them set now. I might undo it and run through a bunch of settings and see what I come up with. I may post a couple pics later. Thanks I knew something was weird with this thing

[Mark Lockett]

So am I wrong to think that they would be oriented more or less the same on each side in relation to the c bracket that the spindles mount too. Mine are roughly 90 degrees different from one side to to other to achieve the identical camber setting. It’s confusing me
Ive tried to ignore that and just set the settings but I can’t. It bothers me.
I need to understand lol
