      Not the best, but here you go:

      (pardon the junk…surprise rain storm prompted some creative storage…)

      The straps look super sloppy, but they are plenty stable.  I leave it lowered on the stand, so I only have it in the air for a minute or so.

      Thanks for the feedback, gentlemen.

      Tony, I didn’t intend to bring the engine hoist to the track, since I’ve always been able to find kind folks to help me load and unload from the trailer at the track.  Since I service my own vehicles, I was just looking at something I could buy that would serve many purposes.

      I did initially look at one-man kart stands, but they all seem to lift from the rear.  My kart trailer (which is very nice and was given to me by a friend) is setup to load with the rear of the kart towards the tongue because there is a box on the front of the trailer; thus I couldn’t use the one-man stand to load and unload.

      I think the best long-term solution is pick up a one-man stand, re-tool the trailer bed to allow for loading with the nose of the kart to towards the front of the trailer, and then I’m set all the way around.  I can store it on the stand, load and unload at home and do everything I need at the track, solo.

      Cheers!

      Hi Tony,

      I guess I should have mentioned my trailer is an “open” trailer, so it’s essentially a flat bed with two 4×4 posts on their side that I set the kart down on.

      I do have a buddy I’m trying to get into the sport, but he’s 30 minutes South of me  :(

      I should clarify, I hit 140 with four strips of tape on it. I run low 130s at 90 ambient with no tape at full chat

      Rubbing them along rough concrete works too, in a pinch.

      Thanks very much, fellas.  I just ordered the tools online and I’ll take another crack at it this weekend.

      Cheers,

      Thank you both for the replies.  I’m sans safety strap/cable between the brake pedal to the master cylinders as well, so it looks like I’ll be addressing the whole setup.

      Thanks, Eric.  I bought an H20 gauge and installed it today.

      Understood Byron.  This is a 14 year old chassis, just to get me started.  I don’t plan on racing this kart necessarily, but if I do, it will need a host of changes/upgrades.  It has a 40mm axle for instance.

      Found the pipe pictures and specs on RLV’s site…it’s an R2, with a 1″ inch OD.  I remeasured using the middle of the tape, rather than the end of the tape.  I know which one I need now  :)

      Thanks, William.  I haven’t purchased anything yet, which is why I’m asking.  I just want to be sure I get it right the first time, and order everything I need…like springs  :)

      Keith,

      The surprises from the previous owner just keep coming.

      What year would you estimate the chassis is?

      Cheers,

      Chris

      Super happy to say the Righetti KS-325 did fit.  I had to smack it into place, which took a little force, but I’m happy to check this off my list.

       

      Thanks all for your input!

      Thanks for the replies everybody.  I must not have a Diablo then, because the KG 8.5 is the tank I most recently tried and rubs just as badly as the one that came with it:  https://new.ekartingnews.com/forums/topic/2-shifter-kart-fuel-tanks-7-5l/#post-33906

      My frame looks like this guys: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=471301

      I have a CR125R though.

      I’ll chime in again when I get it sorted.
