Dave and his brothers practically 'grew up' with mini-bikes and snowmobiles. They all liked learning and all, at a very early age, learned how to "Keep'em Running"! Dave and his Dad have a patent on a small overhead patented pull down engine starter called
 

Now, Dave wants to provide other youngsters "growing up" an opportunity to learn how to "Keep'em Running!" How? Every Go-Kart has an engine driven drive system, propelling either a centrifugal clutch or the newer torque converter.

Both of these systems have components requiring periodic maintenance or eventually replacement of some wearable parts. This is normal. Dave is often asked, "How long do Go-Karts run before they breakdown?". Dave simply says, "Suppose you drive your Kart for two hours a day for ten days. That's approximately twenty hours of use and probably over some pretty rough terrain. "Let's say you might average a ground speed of 15 m.p.h.. That's 20 hours at 15 m.p.h. which means you have traveled a distance of approximately 300 miles!" "Wow, how far from your home would you be 300 miles away?"

Dave wants to provide the normal wearable parts, along with the instructions on "How to Replace and Maintain them". Please Note: Go Kart Dave does not provide parts for racing Go Karts nor does he suggest any method of "Hopping Up"an engine excepting stock items available which do not necessitate internal engine modifications. In the near future we will publish a chart off of this web site that will help identify problems and explain remedies.

"Most people do not realize that the overall go kart market is a "multi-billion dollar industry". The sport is a family activity where each family member can participate on an equal level whether on a race track, concession track or out in the backyard, go karting provides fun and excitement for young and old alike."
