They carry the exact gear that I need (with no side hubs) for $20 shipped so I guess I'll be ordering from there. Thanks Shoe and Ruppster81.

What company is that? (I think of Body mass index, sorry)

Thanks for posting that link! I'll be ordering one soon.

I found this #9T Drive Sprocket 5/8" Bore # 41 Chain GoKart-MiniBike - eBay (item 370138274061 end time Jan-30-09 12:00:01 PST) So, #420 is 1/2" tooth gap, and #41 is 5/8" tooth gap. I'm glad to hear it should work. And actually, I think that would mean less chance of stripping again. I just...

Thanks for the help guys. From what I see, akronbearing.com doesn't have an online catalog or online store. I'll search local then the internet. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks for your help. I looked up the karts manual online and found the part on it. Manco Part 8720 : SPROCKET 420P 9T INTEGRAL KEY I wish it wasn't going to be $27.40 (shipped) for a tiny 9t gear. I'll pay it if I have to though. Part Description: D-KEY 3/16 X 1/8 X .500 I wonder if I can...

My go kart's small gear is stripped and it can't be ridden until the gear is replaced. It's a Manco Phoenix Baja 200 (It's just like a Manco Dingo, they might have even just changed the name). Anyways, there's a 30 series torque converter, and attached to its shaft (not the engine's shaft, but...

I swear I tried it with like 15 tracks. No rock or anything else seemed to work well, so I went with it. Sorry it's not your taste:smile: I like almost all music. And I think most people think this track goes fine with the vid.

Thanks for all the kind replies. I'm glad everyone enjoyed it.

Felt like posting... 6.5 hp harbor freight clone and comet 30 series torque converter. YouTube - Manco go kart Just ignore the note at the beginning.

Agreed. And one other thing I forgot to mention, it's unbelievable how fast they drink gas. He'd have it out for just over 10 minutes and his tank would be empty. No leaks or anything.

I raced a pocket bike today... They're slow. And extremely loud.:doah: I'm sticking with my mini.:scooter: youtube.com/watch?v=1UUjcym07GQ Also note his pullstart didn't even recoil:hammer:

GTO, I don't know what it is but there's something extremely attractive about that mini just the way it is, right down to the engine.

I saw the "Delray entry" when you were building it, great job on both minis.:wink: Who knows the bike I saw on craigslist... I tried to ID it on here but no one was sure really. You're right, those handlebars are rare style. I think the old DB's had them too? For all we know the mini on...

I've never seen an old manco mini even in pictures. This is the closest I could find. A picture of an old streaker. So do you have a restored old manco mini? Fill me in of you do.:wink:
