Off Road Go-Kart Engine

My favorite recreational vehicle has always been my off road go-kart. Ever since my dad first gave it to me when I turned 18, I have made sure to constantly keep it into the best shape it could be in. Whenever it got dirty, I would clean it and whenever there was the slightest problem with it, I would fix it up as soon as I could. Luckily, because my dad had bought it brand new, there was never any wear to it and it never had many problems. It ran just how it was supposed to and all the features were intact.

            However, after a few years of usage, the quality started to decrease. With school and work I started to have less time to keep it in good condition. During summer, when school had finally been let out for the season, I tried to start my go-kart back up but it refused to run. I'd turn the key and it was dead silent: there was no motion and no sound to be made. Though I wasn't surprised to see this happening, I was upset that I had disregarded my duties to keep this in tip-top shape.

            I went through the different parts that could be hindering my kart to start. It took me a while to figure out that it was the engine that had given out and because I was no specialist in this area, I had no idea why this had happened. I thought that my go-kart was a goner and that I wouldn't be able to ever use it again, so I looked up different go-karts online that I could possibly purchase. Noticing that it would take me years to save up for a new one, I decided to look into fixing my current one even though I knew it would be difficult because I've had no prior experience.

            With my dad helping me, we found the company Repower Specialists who sold Honda small engines, Kohler small engines and Briggs and Stratton small engines. My dad was familiar the Kohler small engines so he suggested we try to replace the old engine with this one instead.

            After receiving the small engine, my dad helped me to replace the dead engine. I was a little hesitant at first, wondering if a new engine would really make a difference. However, when we were done with replacing it, my dad took the key to start my go-kart and it was able to start up! Still cautious, I got in and took it for a test round. Even though I didn't get a new go-kart, the new Kohler small engine sure made it seem like it.
