Talking Got a Go-Kart

Funny Thing....LOL And just about killed me and the boy just now

IT looks about Like This One



But older , And with a Tecumseh 5Hp engine

,,,,,

Was at work and a guy said he needed a deep freeze , I just so happened to have one , He asked how much I told him I didnt know ..LOL he asked if i wanted a go kart , Sure why not ...LOL

So we traded , No Breaks So I ordered some will be here in a few days ,

Got it home and couldnt get it started , Bout Pulled my shoulder out ..LOL

Then I checked the Fuel and it was MT ,,, Duhh and it being about dark and my 4yr old wanting to ride it real bad ,,, Guess what my Gas Can is MT , So I put my chainsaw mix in it .... a little 2 stroke for ya ......

Fired right up put the boy in and buckeled him up and away we went NO BREAKS remember ....

Well not being higly skilled in Go karting im all over the place feathering the throttle threw the woods , Then started down a very very slight hill ,

You know the An Object In Motion Thing .... ITs true LOL ,,, Kept building speed Oh Crap ... HOLD ON BOY ...LOL I put my foot on the front tire .... THat didnt work at all WERE HOSED here ,Started swerving left and right All that did was make us more out of control ,,,, Approched the corner Put one arm Around the boy and pulled a few G's and Spun sideways and barly made it then free wheeled on the flat for about 50 yards ,,, After MTing our drawers I drove home and parked it ,,,,

And will not be back on it till the breaking band gets here

THere no way a 4yr old can drive this Its way to dangerous one good bump and your done for , HE wants a 4 wheeler but hey this was free ...LOL He bumed out about not getting to drive it and im sure it will be gone cause hes getting a 4 wheeler on his 5th BD Next Year , BUt I tell you what It was a blast to fly around in Going to Fix it up and put some plexy glass around the Cab so he dont fly out and we will rip it up for this summer

Live and Learn ,, For ME lesson Here is Going slow Dont make up for no breaks
