Hey Guys,

I purchased this a few years ago, I am looking at purchasing another car so thought I would throw it up to see if there was any interest to add some coin to the kitty.

I got it without a motor and it remains without a motor. I purchased it from the Car Doctor (who also sells karts etc) and have not used in in the 4yrs that I have had it.

Here are some shitty pics. if you would like more information, please let me know.

Specs I do know...

TopKart

All but motor

Seat is suitable for child or skinny bloke. I squeeze in tightly (was a loose fit but am now 75kg (fatty :O ) - 5ft 8"

you could contact the car doctor... he would be able to point you in the right direction for a new or used motor.

I believe it is a J engine, but I think you could use any go-kart motor really... just depends what you want to do with it... I was actually thinking about putting some big rims on it and using on the grass.

do you know what sort of motor you need for it? or where to get one to pop straight in? cheers

J & clubman are pretty cheap new & 2nd hand or you could strap a 5+hp lawn mower engine on it :D

Unless your thinking about racing i wouldn't worry too much about what motor you use if its only going to be for fun. You would probably be better steering away from a proper kart motor if its just going to be a weekend toy.

"IF" you really wanted to bite the bullet it would make a great base for shifter kart :P

    • Ohh even easier.   Go dial up 700rpm on the hand controller. Rip off the TPS plug, wait till the idle drops and then adjust the IACV screw so it's just a tad below the target on the hand controller (say 650rpm), plug the TPS back in and idle will climb back to target. Done.
    • Hey Sleepergm, I love your inlet piping, do u mind sharing who did the work, please? cheers, Ian
    • Yeah, you want the IACV to be running at around 30 "units", variously called "steps" or "duty cycle" depending on the person. That gives it room to go lower if need be and higher ditto.
    • Ah right that makes sense.
    • The RPM is just a target, the ECU will adjust things to try and hit that target but it's by no means guaranteed. If the IACV duty cycle is 0 or something like that and it's actually closing up fully then the idle is as low as it can physically go without reducing ignition timing. The problem can be something like the cold start valve in the IACV not closing fully, worn throttle shaft seals, torn rubber diaphragm in the brake booster allowing unmetered air, etc.
